The Anthony Wayne Theater is screening a trio of Horror classics this Halloweekend!


For those of you in the Wayne, PA area and absolutely nothing to do this weekend, Newt Wallen's REEL CULT series has got you covered! This Friday - Sunday, see two of the best Horror anthologies ever made, plus a Universal classic! For a mere $7.00 you may enter the haunted halls of The Anthony Wayne Theater and take in digital screenings of these awesome fright flicks...

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28TH @ 11:30 PM
TALES FROM THE CRYPT (1972)
This is the grand-daddy of all Horror anthologies and should not be missed! Five strangers meet The Crypt Keeper and witness their own deaths, in five brilliant vignettes! A woman gets a scary visit from Santa, an unfaithful husband has a ghastly vision of his future, a kindly Peter Cushing seeks vengeance from the grave, a woman discovers that she should be careful what she wishes for, and a cruel landlord is punished by the tenants of his poorly run home for the blind. TALES FROM THE CRYPT is a brilliant anthology film that balances the laughs and scares perfectly! Don't miss it!



SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29TH @ 11:30 PM
CREEPSHOW (1982)
This awesome anthology maintains the feel of pulp Horror magazines and comics, as it unspools in a series of tales involving zombies, monsters, "meteor shit," and killer cockroaches! Penned by Stephen King (who stars in one of the more lighthearted stories), directed by George A. Romero, with special makeup f/x by Tom Savini, and an awesome cast that includes Adrienne Barbeau, Leslie Nielsen, Hal Holbrook, Ted Danson, Ed Harris, and Tom Atkins, CREEPSHOW has all the makings of a true Horror classic!



SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30TH @ 8:00 PM
THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)
It turns out that Frankenstein's Monster was not destroyed by a mob of torch-wielding peasants in the original film, and is one lonely guy. That's why Victor Frankenstein teams up with another mad scientist (Dr. Pretorious, played by Ernest Thesinger) to create a mate for his invincible creation. Will it be love at first sight, or will The Monster experience heartbreak for the first time?! Watch this fantastic film to find out!

THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN was one of the first Horror sequels to ever be made, and features some truly iconic moments. It's super rare for it to be played in a theater in any format, so treat yourself this Halloweekend and see it!



There's a lot of other cool screenings coming up this year at The Anthony Wayne Theater! Check out the roster below and get excited because they'll be playing great midnight movies every month, featuring the likes of Ed Wood and Sonny Chiba!

Scream Factory gives you a double dose of TALES FROM THE CRYPT this Halloween season!


ON OCTOBER 20TH, BATTLE EVIL WITH "DEMON KNIGHT," AND PAY A VISIT TO "THE BORDELLO OF BLOOD" WITH SCREAM FACTORY'S NEW "TALES FROM THE CRYPT" COLLECTOR'S EDITION BLU-RAYS!

I am an unapologetic fan of DEMON KNIGHT. It has a great premise, and outstanding cast, and has remained as one of my all-time favorite genre films. BORDELLO OF BLOOD, while not nearly as good, is still a lot of fun in it's own right, and I cannot wait to add these to my personal collection!

Film Synopses: DEMON KNIGHT - A mysterious drifter known as Brayker (William Sadler) possesses the last of seven ancient keys that hold the power to stop the forces of darkness and protect all humanity from ultimate evil. But the human race is safe only so long as Brayker can evade the demonic Collector (Billy Zane) who has gathered the other six keys.

In his obsessive quest for the key, the Collector rallies an army of ghastly cadavers against Brayker and the inhabitants of a run-down hotel. Armed with automatic weapons, sacred blood and sadistic humor, Brayker and the strong-willed Jeryline (Jada Pinkett-Smith) must lead the other guests in a gruesome battle against the Collector and his evil horde of ghouls.

Infested with a talented cast, thrilling special effects and the crypt keeper's deadpan delights, DEMON KNIGHT is directed by genre vet Ernest Dickerson (THE WALKING DEAD, DEXTER, MASTERS OF HORROR) and features a strong cast, including Billy Zane (TITANIC), William Sadler (IRON MAN 3, BILL & TED'S BOGUS JOURNEY), Jada Pinkett (GOTHAM), Brenda Bakke (L.A. CONFIDENTIAL), CCH Pounder (ORPHAN, AVATAR), Thomas Haden Church (SPIDER-MAN 3, SIDEWAYS), Dick Miller (GREMLINS), and Charles Fleischer (ZODIAC).

BORDELLO OF BLOOD - Wisecracking private eye Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller) investigates some strange happenings at a titillating bordello on the edge of town. It seems owner Madam Lilith (Angie Everhart) and her luscious cohorts want more than money… they want blood!

Soon Rafe finds himself up to his neck in a den of hungry vampiresses and battling the Reverend Jimmy Current (Chris Sarandon), a slick televangelist with an unstoppable talisman.

Brimming with blood, lust and wicked laughs, BORDELLO OF BLOOD is directed by film producer/filmmaker Gilbert Adler (THIR13EN GHOSTS, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL) and features a fun cast of Dennis Miller (JOE DIRT), Erika Eleniak (UNDER SIEGE), Angie Everhart (JADE), Chris Sarandon (FRIGHT NIGHT, CHILD'S PLAY), Corey Feldman (THE LOST BOYS, THE GOONIES), John Kassir as the voice of the crypt keeper, Aubrey Morris (A CLOCKWORK ORGANGE) and Phil Fondacaro (TROLL, GHOULIES II).
