FREDDY FEST II:
Friday, Oct 9:

SHOCKER (1989)- Lets face it, writer/director Wes Craven was remaking himself with this one: an executed murderer takes revenge on those who sent him to the chair through electricity (instead of dreams). Starring Peter Berg, Heather Langenkamp and Mitch Pileggi as Horace Pinker.
ALONE IN THE DARK (1982)- Before directing NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDYS REVENGE, Jack (THE HIDDEN) Sholder made this often-overlooked gem! A group of psychopaths escape from an asylum during a blackout and stalk the doctor treating them and his family. Starring Jack Palance, Martin Landau, Donald Pleasance and Dwight Shultz.
Saturday, October 10:
NEW NIGHTMARE (1994)- Heather Langenkamp is back to take care of Freddy for real, for once and all, but can Langenkamp, along with Wes Craven, take care of Freddy or will Freddy put an end to them first? A superior, inspired sequel to A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET.
976-EVIL (1988) - A tormented teen gains supernatural powers to turn the tables on his tormentors when he makes a deal with the devil on a Satanic hotline. Directed by Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund!
plus A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2.
Sunday, October 11:
TRICK OR TREAT (1986)- When a heavy metal superstar dies in a fire, a distraught, bullied teen unknowingly brings his idol back to life. But this time Sammi Curr isnt just shredding ears... hes shredding bodies, and the body count is getting out of control unless he can be stopped! A very well made imitation of NOES, featuring cameos by Ozzy Osbourne and Gene Simmons.
FREDDY VS JASON (2003)- Night three concludes with the biggest battle of big screen psychos the world has ever seen! Who will win and what will be left of the Freddy Fest II audience when the final severed body part falls..
