This October, Nitehawk Cinema will once again host a full night of frights with their fourth annual "A Nite to Dismember" movie marathon. Featuring a "House of Horrors" theme, this year's marathon will feature 35mm prints of The Exorcist, The Black Cat, The Legend of Hell House, and Night of the Demons, as well as a screening of Under the Shadow.

Press Release: Nitehawk Cinema is proud to announce our fourth annual all-night Halloween screening A NITE TO DISMEMBER - one of New York's most popular Halloween events for film lovers. Past themes have included "classic," "sequel," and "decades of horror." This year we welcome you to: HOUSE OF HORRORS.

Starting at midnight and continuing until after dawn, we’ll screen some of the scariest haunted house films past and present on glorious 35mm: The Exorcist, The Black Cat, The Legend of Hell House, and Night of the Demons along with the best ghost story of 2016, Babak Anvari’s Under the Shadow!

When: October 29, 2016
Ticket Price: $60
Includes screenings and:

  • Our annual costume contest and trivia (with prizes courtesy of Shudder)
  • A photo-booth with The Bosco
  • Complimentary coffee from Fazenda Coffee and sweets from our neighbor SweetHaus
  • Those who survive the night will receive a complimentary Nitehawk breakfast (eggs and tater tots!), themed gift bags and a discounted fare from Lyft.

We also have our International Slasher mini program.

The slasher film is America’s big contribution to horror film but the genre is deeply rooted within international cinema. International Slasher goes all over the world to unmask the gloved, masked, knife-loving serial killer who relentlessly stalks his, or her, victims. Scream and squirm with these “slasher” classics old and new: Wolf Creek (Australia), Tenebre (Italy), Audition (Japan), and Halloween (United States).
