Even Dwarfs Started Evil!

Malatesta's Carnival of Blood

dir. Christopher Speeth, US, 1973, 35mm, 74 mins, color

 

Director Christopher Speeth presents his own archival print (the only 35mm print in existence) which may never again be screened to the public.

 

To find their missing son, a family poses as new workers at a sinister carnival. They soon find out it’s populated by ghouls, cannibals and flesh-eating freaks, many of whom are obsessed with old silent films. The late Herve Villechaize, best known as "Tattoo" on television's Fantasy Island, plays a significant role in his first film.

 

Messiah of Evil  

dir. Willard Huyck, US, 1973, 35mm, 90 mins, color

 

Written by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, who later went on to pen American Graffiti, Messiah of Evil is one of the finest, most neglected horror films of the 1970s. Messiah of Evil boasts some of the creepiest set pieces in 70s cinema and a cast of well-loved cult film performers including Joy Bang, Marianna Hill, Royal Dano, Anitra Ford and Elisha Cook, Jr. You don't want to miss this rare screening.

$12 general admission. Available one hour before showtime.
