SHUDDER September Programming Schedule!

It’s September 1st and SHUDDER have just unveiled their new programming for the month which they are coupling with October to dub ’61 Days of Halloween’ which includes an all-new SHUDDER Original and the Australian Premiere of the much talked about directorial debut of Glenn Danzig too!

SEPTEMBER 1ST

BAGHEAD
Jay & Mark Duplass | United States 2008 | 84 Minutes

While the Duplass Brothers were shooting their last feature film The Puffy Chair, a crew member raised the question “what’s the scariest thing you can think of?” Someone immediately said “a guy with a bag on his head staring into your window.” Some agreed, but some thought it was downright ridiculous and, if anything, funny (but definitely not scary). Thus, BAGHEAD was born, an attempt to take the absurdly low-concept idea of a “guy with a bag on his head” and make a funny, truthful, endearing film that, maybe, just maybe, was a little bit scary, too.

DAY OF THE DEAD
George A. Romero | United States 1985 | 96 Minutes

In horror maestro, George A Romero’s gruesome follow-up to the acclaimed DAWN OF THE DEAD the flesh-eating undead have wiped out every last vestige of the civilised world and now outnumber the living 40,000-to-one! Hidden deep within a fortified underground missile silo an isolated and increasingly unstable ragtag group of scientists and soldiers continue to work to find a cure for this unstoppable plague. Tensions soon escalate between a maniacal bloodthirsty military leader and a borderline mad scientist, sparking a climactic assault on the bunker by thousands of zombies… one final battle for humanity’s survival. Named by Romero as his favourite “dead” movie, DAY OF THE DEAD showcases his tight, taut direction and unleashes a cavalcade of non-stop zombie carnage courtesy of gore wizard, Tom Savini.

HIGH LANE (VERTIGE)
Abel Ferry | France 2009 | 90 Minutes

A group of friends on a climbing vacation ignore warnings that the mountains are closed and start their ascent anyway. Collapsing bridges, bear traps and other dangers threaten to splinter the group…when the real hell begins and an unseen villain begins picking them off one by one. Combining the heart-stopping suspense of CLIFFHANGER with the mortal dread of a serial killer, High Lane is certain to cure you of a fear of heights: who cares about the fall when it gets you away from a lunatic?

RABIES (KALEVET)
Aharon Keshales & Navot Papushado | Israel 2010 | 90 Minutes

A psychotic serial killer on the loose in the woods crosses paths with a group of unsuspecting teenagers. Soon people are dying one by one… but the bad guy isn’t who you think. Turning genre conventions on their head with a smart script and plenty of unexpected scares, Rabies is a surprising debut worthy of its mantle as Israel’s first-ever slasher horror film.

SEPTEMBER 7TH

ANOTHER EVIL
Carson Mell | United States 2016 | 90 Minutes

After encountering a ghost in their vacation home, modern artist Dan Pappadakis and his wife Mary hire an exorcist – the bizarre and needy Os Bijourn. Implementing a variety of increasingly outlandish (and dubious) devices to battle the ghosts, Os tries to befriend Dan almost as relentlessly as he tries to fight the ghosts. However, things turn suddenly serious when Dan realizes that a greater danger lurks within the home.

WNUF HALLOWEEN SPECIAL
Chris LaMartina | United States 2013 | 83 Minutes

Local television personality Frank Stewart leads a group of paranormal investigators including Catholic exorcist, Father Joseph Matheson and the prolific husband-and-wife team Louis and Claire Berger. Together, the experts explore the darkest corners of the supposedly haunted Webber House, trying to prove the existence of the demonic entities within.
