The Program
FRIDAY
Kicking things off with a double dose of thrills and chills, we begin with Fred Dekker’s NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, where Porky’s meets Aliens and no orifice is safe for the staff and students at Corman University. The carnage continues with Jim Wynorski’s CHOPPING MALL, the ultimate high-tech slasher set in a shopping centre full of killbots. It’s buy or die time, kiddies!
SATURDAY
Saturday ramps up the chaos with one of John Carpenter’s greatest films, BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA, a neon-drenched kung-fu spectacle of supernatural mayhem. Next, FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES sees Camp Crystal Lake’s favourite son rise from the grave to wreak havoc once again — one machete swing at a time. The night closes with genre maestro Wes Craven’s techno-horror DEADLY FRIEND, a gloriously macabre tale of suburban terror, featuring Kristy Swanson as the quintessential girl-next-door… if your next-door neighbour happened to be a homicidal robot with a rebellious streak.
SUNDAY
Wrap the weekend with a trio of unforgettable ’80s horror hits: VAMP, where teen thrills meet vampire chills when a 2000 year old stripper sinks her fangs into three wannabe frat boys; THE FLY, David Cronenberg’s body-horror masterpiece of mutation and obsession; and FROM BEYOND, a hallucinatory plunge into science-gone-rogue in Stuart Gordon’s second tribute to H.P. Lovecraft.
Sit down, strap in, and steel yourself for a weekend of pure ’80s excitement. With a program crawling with alien slugs, killer robots, undead machete-wielders, vampire strippers, scientific nightmares, and immortal spirits with a taste for jade-eyed beauties, Monster Fest Weekender 1986 is ready…are you?
