A killer’s on the loose at Nitehawk Cinema and he’s serving up a multi-course dinner of fresh meat from The Meat Hook for a special Film Feast presentation of FRIDAY THE 13TH.

Things don’t go so well for the reopening of Camp Crystal Lake as the new counselors are stalked and slashed…but by whom? As the site for a young boy’s drowning many years earlier, someone or something is none-too-pleased that a new batch of sexually crazed young adults who will be the caretakers of young children. Stemming from tropes established in Italian Giallo films like anonymous killer-point-of-view stabs and punishment for sexual activities, Friday the 13th produces one of the most iconic “Final Girls” in horror (Alice Hardy) and has enduringly made teenage activities a frightening cautionary tale.

For our October Film Feast, Nitehawk is teaming up with some folks with blood on their hands, the butchers at The Meat Hook, for a five-course meal that’s been stabbed, sliced, and seared like a misbehaving camp counselor.

A post-screening Q&A with writer/producer, Paul Travers as well as select cast Brandi Cyrus, Olivia Alexander, Jake Robinson, Catherine Blades, Susan McBrien and Gabriel Beer will be held following the screening. Tickets will also get you admission into the Opening Night Party on Thursday at Lot 45 in addition to the after party. For more information on the Bushwick Film Festival, please visit: http://bushwickfilmfestival.com

OLD 37 is the last ambulance ride you'll ever take. Two psychotic brothers (Kane Hodder + Bill Moseley) intercept emergency calls in their father's old ambulance to perform their own heinous medical procedures. When a shy girl-next-door becomes their latest target, she turns the tables on her captors to fight for her survival. Fast paced and blood-soaked, OLD 37 taps into the most basic human fear, vulnerability. The words "don't worry I'm a paramedic" will make you think twice before dialing 9-1-1. Fans can take their first look by watching the official trailer now, here: www.old37themovie.com
 
Writer/producer, Paul Travers has attended the Bushwick Film Festival in the past as a guest and said: "It is an honor to have our New York City premiere of OLD 37 be presented by The Bushwick Film Festival. I attended the festival in 2009 and have kept a close eye on it since. Founder Kweighbaye Kotee has put her heart and soul into making this festival come to fruition every year and it truly shows. We cannot wait to scare the hell out of this crowd!"
 
When asked about OLD 37's participation in this year's festival, Kweighbaye Kotee (CEO/Director of Programming) expressed:"My love affair with films began with the horror genre. I was obsessed with classics like The Omen, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween. OLD 37 feels like one of the classics. It has the perfect balance of suspense and gore, creates deep fear, has great camera movement, stellar actors, and a powerful soundtrack. It was absolutely terrifying to watch. But really, what I love most is Paul's journey to move the story from concept to screen. It's a tough battle that many filmmakers don't win and The Bushwick Film Festival is honored to spotlight the victory and bring this incredible soon-to-be horror classic back home to NYC."
 
VOD is set for September 29th and DVD is set to release on October 6th, 2015 (Epic Pictures + Anchor Bay Canada). Pre-order is available now via Wal-MartAmazon, and Best Buy.

    About the Author - Tamika Jones

    Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.

    The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
