1/21: NYC: Evil Dead 2 at Nitehawk
Co-presented with Brooklyn Horror Society and The Twisted Spine; preceded by a reading and Q&A with author Clay McLeod Chapman
Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) once again battles horrifying demons at a secluded cabin in the woods in this part horror, part comedy sequel to Evil Dead. After discovering an audiotape left by a college professor that contains voices reading from the Book of the Dead, Ash’s girlfriend Linda (Denise Bixler) becomes possessed by evil spirits that are awakened by the voices on the tape. Ash soon discovers there is no escaping the woods.
Clay McLeon Chapman’s new book Wake Up And Open Your Eyes will be available for sale before and after the screening.
Dark Sparks: Films That Ignite Horror Authors is a series of writer-curated hybrid reading/screenings that celebrate the influence of film on horror literature. At each event, a horror novelist selected by Brooklyn Horror Society and The Twisted Spine reads from their work, followed by a brief interview about their influences. Then, we screen a movie of their choice that has shaped the way they think about horror. It’s an interdisciplinary party that’s all about enthusiastically geeking out over the genre.
