A serial killing scalp-collector, a widowed wasteland warrior, and a summer camp slaughter. These characters and plots are featured in the recently announced lineup for Hudson Horror Show 9 that includes 35mm screenings of Maniac (1980), Mad Max, The Burning, and more.
In addition to the three aforementioned titles, the HHS will also be screening the foreign film Lady Terminator as well as two mystery movies that won't be revealed until the film reels roll. Hudson Horror Show IX will take place at the Empire South Hills 8 in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Saturday, August 9th. Advance tickets cost $26.00 and at-the-door tickets (if any are still available) can be purchased for $30.00. We have the official press release with the event's full details:
"The movie festival that even modern technology could not kill, Hudson Horror Show, is back from the grave and hungry for your soul! Hudson Horror Show IX, will be at the Empire South Hills 8 in Poughkeepsie, NY on Saturday August 9th, 2014. This is the theater we have been at for the last five years which is formerly known as the Silver Cinemas South Hills 8. Now celebrating our fifth anniversary we will present six movies (for the price of five) all off of vintage 35mm film. It’s been a long time and oh, we have such sights to show you…
From Director William Lustig we present one of the most brutal and unflinching horror films of all time, MANIAC! You will be amazed at Joe Spinell’s riveting dual performance as both a slimy and sadistic killer and a suave ladies man!
Hudson Horror goes post apocalyptic! Before you see the reboot/sequel, join us for a 35th Anniversary screening of the original MAD MAX! They say people don't believe in heroes anymore, in Poughkeepsie, we’re gonna give em back their heroes!! Sugar tits!
We really dig slashers and are overjoyed to present the early 80’s classic THE BURNING! While our beloved Cropsey does all of the killing, the true star of the film is special effects maestro, Tom Savini. Savini’s glorious gore work was heavily cut to get an “R” rating in America, but we will be screening the uncut international version with all of the juicy bits intact!
What would HHS be without some foreign film insanity? You may need to wear tinfoil on your head to prevent your brain from melting from the madness that is LADY TERMINATOR!! Presented by the B Movie Film Vault, this incomprehensible mess of a movie is a note for note rip off of the Schwarzenegger sci-fi classic which needs to be seen to be believed!
The only thing better than one mystery movie is two! As a thank you for five years of patronage, HHS#9 will screen two mystery movies, so that is six movies in total, for the price of five. What will this gruesome twosome be? Get a ticket for Hudson Horror Show #9 and find out!!
