MONSTER FEST WEEKENDER: HIGHWAY TO HELL PROGRAM REVEALED

Buckle up, freaks. Monster Fest Weekender is back and this time we’re taking the scenic route straight to hell. From killer cars and horrific hitchhikers to repugnant rest stops and satanic sightseers, HIGHWAY TO HELL is a full-throttle journey through the dark side of the open road. Join us for an eight-film descent into pure roadside terror. So fill up your tank, prep your playlist, and watch as the skid marks on the asphalt teleport to the seat of your pants as you join us for three days of vehicular-themed violence, Monster Fest style.

From Friday the 31st of July to Sunday the 2nd of August at Cinema Nova in Melbourne (with dates at Event Cinemas and Dendy Canberra to follow), Monster Fest Weekender: Highway To Hell delivers a white-knuckle ride through some of the wildest, weirdest and most dangerous road movies ever made. So sit down, strap in and keep your eyes on the road. The Highway to Hell is open.

FRIDAY JULY 31

Monster Fest Weekender roars to life with George Miller’s post-apocalyptic masterpiece MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR (1981) at 7pm, before the chaos shifts south of the border with a 30th anniversary screening of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s blood-soaked vampire classic FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1996) at 9pm.

SATURDAY AUGUST 1

Saturday cranks the terror into overdrive as we join Warren Oates and Peter Fonda for some satanic panic paranoia with RACE WITH THE DEVIL (1975) at 4:30pm, followed by the chainsaw carnage of LEATHERFACE: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III (1990) at 7pm, before a 20th anniversary celebration of Alexandre Aja’s savage remake of THE HILLS HAVE EYES (2006) tears the roof off at 9pm.

SUNDAY AUGUST 2

We wrap up the festival on Sunday with John Carpenter’s killer-car classic CHRISTINE (1983) at 2pm, the ghostly turbo-charged revenge of THE WRAITH (1986) at 4:30pm, and end things with a bang with Robert Harmon’s relentless highway nightmare THE HITCHER (1986) at 7pm.
