Clive Barker Double Feature!

HELLRAISER / RAWHEAD REX

Co-presented by Friday Night Frights, Death Waltz Records and Cinematic Void

Beer and wine will be available for purchase in the lobby.

Hosts Josh and Sebastian conjured Friday Night Frights in the winter of 2010 with the simple ghoulish goal of showcasing horror cinema year-round the way it is meant to be seen - on the big screen with an audience of shrieking and laughing weirdos. Now seven years, and 200-plus horror movies later, Friday Night Frights rages on as Los Angeles' premier (i.e., only) horror screening series.

Death Waltz Records’ new HELLRAISER 30th Anniversary soundtrack album will be available for purchase in the lobby.

35 mm!

30th Anniversary!

HELLRAISER

1987, New World Pictures, 94 min, USA, Dir: Clive Barker

In this first film in the HELLRAISER franchise, an antique puzzle box brought from Morocco to London unleashes a race of Cenobites, who love nothing more than inflicting pain on human beings. With his feature directorial debut, Clive Barker joined such filmmakers as Wes Craven and Sam Raimi among the ranks of horror’s most reliable auteurs, and lead Cenobite “Pinhead” - his face pierced by dozens of needles - joined the ranks of the genre’s most recognizable monsters. Starring Andrew Robinson, Clare Higgins and Ashley Laurence.

West Coast Premiere of 4K Restoration!

RAWHEAD REX

1986, Kino Lorber, 89 min, Ireland/UK/USA, Dir: George Pavlou

Bursting from beneath thunderstruck Earth, Rawhead Rex shares more with the rubber-suit monster movies of yore than his much darker cousins the cenobites from HELLRAISER, though both were spawned from Clive Barker’s Books of Blood. Director George Pavlou took the ancient pagan God from Barker’s script and transformed him into a nine-foot-tall, punk-rock ogre moving at full ramming speed across the Irish countryside - no man, no child, no trailer park, and especially no priest, can withstand his unholy rampage.
