๐Ÿ’€ Five jolting comic book-style tales from the masters of the macabre!

๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey guys! And happy Halloween weekend as we prepare to watch this 1982 horror anthology classic, directed by horror maestro George A. Romero, with an original screenplay by Stephen King, who also makes a memorable cameo appearance.

The screening will be presented by actor and comedian Reece Shearsmith, who will also be signing copies of his new book, Things I Took from the Dark: The Museum of Me.

This horror anthology pays homage to America's EC horror comics of the 1950s, presenting a collection of delightfully creepy tales ranging from an escaped monster and a cheating wife to an invasion of vengeful cockroaches.

The Meetup: We'll be meeting at the BFI Box Office at 5:45 pm before heading to NFT 1 for the 6:00 pm screening. We'll be seated in Row D, seats 15โ€“18, but feel free to choose whichever seats you prefer.

After the film: At around 8:25 pm, we'll reconvene at the BFI Cafรฉ Bar for some late-night drinks, a Letterboxd review of the film and a chance to share our thoughts.

And what better way to welcome All Hallows' Eve than with a bunch of wicked tales, courtesy of our skeletal host, The Creep himself. ๐Ÿ’€

See you guys there!
Jonny
