June 7: 70's Nightmares!!

Doors at 7:30 / Show at 8:00pm $12

Malatesta's Carnival of Blood - Directed by Christopher Speeth. USA. 1973. 74 minutes. Color. 35mm. Until just a few years ago, Malatesta's Carnival of Blood was considered a lost film. Shot in the early '70s and released -- barely -- in 1973, the film became the subject of horror fan lore until it was released on the director's own DVD label in 2003. The film concerns a family who poses as new workers at a sinister carnival to find their missing son. As they soon find out, the carnival is populated by ghouls, cannibals and flesh-eating freaks, many of whom are obsessed with old silent films. More a lysergic, hallucinogenic nightmare than a straight-ahead horror film, Malatesta disturbs and confounds the viewer with some of the most bizarre art direction captured on film. The film was shot outside Philadelphia with a mostly local cast and crew. The aforementioned surreal art design was created by a Philly-based art troupe called Alley Friends, who are now famous in the architecture world for their eco-friendly, sustainable energy building designs. The late Herve Villechaize, best known as the dwarf "Tattoo" on television's Fantasy Island, plays a significant role (his first film role). Come join local director Christopher Speeth as he presents the only 35mm print in existence: his own archival print, which may never again be screened to the public. Mr. Speeth will be on hand to introduce his film and to answer questions after it runs.

Messiah of Evil - Directed Huyck. USA. 1973. 90 minutes. Color. 35mm. Written by the team of Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, who a few years later went on to write the script for American Graffiti, Messiah of Evil is one of the finest, most neglected horror films of the 1970s. Only ever released cropped on VHS and on poor-quality, bootleg DVDs, this is one film that needs to be seen projected thanks to its 2.35:1 'scope photography, which is essential to creating the film's bleak mood. This movie achieves what so many direct H.P. Lovecraft film adaptations have failed to rise to: a truly Lovecraftian feel. Coupled with post-Night of the Living Dead flesh-eating zombies, you have a horror film capable of getting under your skin like few others. 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 won't want to miss this rare screening.

We are delighted to announce that in addition to director Christopher Speeth, Exhumed Films will also present lead actress Janine Carazo, Alley Friends art direction team member Richard Strange, and flesh-eating ghoul extra Roberta Miller. This will most likely be the only time these members of the MALATESTA cast and production team ever gather in one place! We'll also have popcorn and treats by the vegan bakers of the Salt of the Earth collective. Artist and Near Dark member Justin Miller will have hand-screenprinted, signed and numbered posters for sale. Try to get your Diabolik DVD show orders in early so you get what you want. This is the last Exhumed Films screening until October 3, so don't miss what stands to be one of our best-ever shows!

APRIL 19: Exhumed Films Presents a Double Feature of Bizarre Biker Battles!

Doors at 8:30 / Show at 9:00pm $10 (please note the later start time)

KNIGHTRIDERS
Following the phenomenal success of his living dead classic Dawn of the Dead, horror icon George A. Romero took a break from zombies and monsters to create Knightriders, an odd fantasy/fable about a group of bikers/performers that tries to recapture the glory and nobility of medieval knights by performing at "Renaissance Faires" and jousting on Harleys instead of horses. The troupe must contend with the challenge of maintaining the purity of their idyllic "kingdom" while being tempted by the contemporary lures of wealth and celebrity. Though it may sound bizarre, Knightriders has a great deal of heart and is one of Romero's most personal films. Starring Ed Harris (in his first major role) and genre favorite Tom Savini.
Dir. George Romero \ US \ 1981 \ 35mm \ 145 min. \ Color

1990: THE BRONX WARRIORS
The Italian film industry of the 1980s apparently didn't have much faith in the future of American society. In the wake of dystopic sci-fi classics like John Carpenter's Escape from New York and George Miller's Mad Max came a new subgenre of Italian action films set in a post apocalyptic United States, most with remarkably derivative titles: After the Fall of New York, Escape from the Bronx, 2020: Texas Gladiators, etc. Exhumed Films is "proud" to present one of the most infamous movies of the genre, 1990: The Bronx Warriors. In the distant future of...well...1990..., Trash (Mark Gregory) leads a gang of big haired, spandexed bikers called The Riders, who fight for their turf in the lawless streets of a ravaged New York City. But when Trash falls in with a wealthy runaway with ties to a corporate fortune, he encounters the ruthless mercenary Hammer (Vic Morrow, wielding a mean flame thrower) who has been sent into The Bronx to reclaim the missing heiress. Full of violence and absurdity, 1990: The Bronx Warriors is sure to entertain. Also featuring Fred Willamson and Italian horror stalwart George Eastman.
Dir. Enzo Castellari \ Italy \ 1982 \ 35mm \ 89 min. \ Color

MARCH 7: Exhumed Films says DON'T miss this double feature!

Doors at 7:30 / Show at 8:00pm $10

DON'T OPEN THE WINDOW
The first of many European zombie films inspired by George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, Jorge Grau's stylish living dead chiller has the distinction of being quite possibly the most frequently re-titled film in cinema history! Better known under the name Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (or Breakfast at the Manchester Morgue, or Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, or.....) Don't Open the Window centers on two young people in the English countryside who discover that a local farmer's attempt to use radiation as a form of insect control has accidentally resurrected the recently deceased. Yet stubborn police detective Arthur Kennedy suspects that the spate of murders and cannibalism cropping up in the area are not supernatural in nature, but rather ritualistic killings performed by our hippie-ish leading man.
Dir. Jorge Grau \ Spain & Italy \ 1974 \ 35mm \ 85 min. \ Color

DON'T GO IN THE HOUSE
A grim, unpleasant slasher film that is definitely not for the feint of heart or easily offended: a victim of child abuse (Dan Grimaldi) grows up to become a maniacal construction worker. He stalks women at discos, takes them home, then hangs them upside-down in a special steel-walled room and sets them on fire. Quentin Tarrantino cites this movie as one of the most disturbing films he's ever seen--and this is coming from the guy responsible for that scene with the ear and the straight razor...
Dir. Joseph Ellison \ US \ 1980 \ 35mm \ 82 min. \ Color

FEBRUARY 1: Exhumed Films Presents a Giallo Double Feature!

Doors at 7:30 / Show at 8:00pm $10

TENEBRE
After dipping into the world of supernatural horror with Suspiria and Inferno, renowned Italian director Dario Argento returned to the giallo subgenre that made him famous. Tenebre follows a writer who arrives in Rome only to find somebody is using his novels as the inspiration for a series of grisly murders. As the death toll mounts the police are ever baffled, and the writer becomes more closely linked to the case than is comfortable. Arguably one of Argento's finest films (and one that is rarely screened in the United States), Tenebre is not to be missed.
Dir. Dario Argento \ Italy \ 1982 \ 35mm \ 101 min. \ Color

TORSO
Directed by the infamous Sergio Martino (Slave of the Cannibal God, Screamers), Torso is an underrated giallo about an American exchange student in Rome who, along with her friends, is stalked by a mysterious killer. His modus operandi? Strangling women with his red scarf. The violence on screen is sometimes subdued, sometimes brutal, but always terrifying.
Dir. Sergio Martino \ Italy \ 1973 \ 35mm \ 89 min. \ Color

Exhumed Films 24 Hour Horror-thon FAQ

Q: Why are you guys doing this show?
A: For a few reasons:
1. It's our tenth anniversary and we want to do something special
2. Nothing like this has ever been done in the Philadelphia area
3. It's going to be lots of fun.and a test of endurance
Q: Is it really going to go on for 24 hours? Nonstop?
A: Yes. If all goes as planned, it should be nonstop movies, shorts, and
trailers for the full 24 hours.
Q: So how many full length films will you actually be screening?
A: Thirteen, most likely.

Q: Thirteen movies? Isn't that...y'know....kind of insane?
A: Yes. Completely

Q: When is it happening?
A: The show will start on Saturday October 27th at 12 noon. It will end on Sunday October 28th at approximately 12 noon. Tickets will be onsale at 11am on the 27th.

Q: Where is the show taking place?
A: The International House at University of Pennsylvania, 3701 Chestnut
Street, Philadelphia.

Q: How much does it cost to get into this show?
A: Tickets for the marathon are only $20. This is a very expensive program for us to put together, but as a "thank you" to our audience, we're keeping the ticket price as low as possible. That's less than $1 per hour of entertainment!

Q: Can I buy my tickets in advance?

Q: What if I plan to come late or only stay for a few movies-can I get in at a reduced rate?
A: Sorry, but tickets are still $20 whether you plan on staying for the
entire 24 hours or just a few hours.

Q: Can I watch a few films, leave, then come back later?
A: Yes. All audience members will receive a wristband and also a handstamp to verify that you have paid your $20. Just be sure to keep your wristband and your stamp visible so that if you go out for a while and come back later, you'll have proof that you have already paid & will be allowed re-entry to the theater.

Q: What if I wash my hands and accidentally wash off the handstamp?
A: Don't wash the top of your hand.

Q: Okay, here's the big question: what movies are you going to show?
A: It's a secret.

Q: Why aren't you announcing what movies are playing?
A: Again, for a few reasons:
1. It adds an element of surprise
2. It allows us to adjust our playlist of movies if we come across something unique shortly before the show

Q: Well, I'm not paying $20 for any show that doesn't tell me what movies I'll be watching.
A: That's not a question.

Q: Who are you, Alex Trebek? Fine, I'll rephrase it.why should I come to
this show if I don't know what's playing?
A: Because the movies we're showing are all really good. Really. You have to trust us.

Q: Why should I trust you?
A: If you look at the list of movies we've shown over the last ten years,
you'll see we've shown some of the greatest horror films of all time. You
know what we have access to. When we say we're showing really good films, we mean it. This is one of the coolest film combos we've ever done, and a great way to celebrate Halloween weekend. And at only $20, it's a bargain even if you only stay for a few movies!

Q: Can you give us any hints as to what's playing?
A: I can say this: the lineup will be a combination of films we've shown
before and other titles we've never screened. The majority of the titles
could be considered fan favorites, but we have some really exciting rarities
as well. The films are primarily from the 1970s & 1980s. You'll get a
little of everything: zombies, slashers, classic monsters, exploitation,
extreme gore and extreme campiness. Our primary rule in selecting the films for the lineup was that we wanted every single title to be gory or goofy action packed fun, and I think we've succeeded.

Q: Are you selling food at this show?
A: The I-House does not have a concession stand, per se, but there are
vending machines and a small café in the lobby, and there's a Wawa right
down the street. There are also a number of nearby restaurants if you want to sneak out for lunch, dinner, etc. or pick up a pizza to bring back to the show. You are welcome to bring in outside food as long as you do not make a mess and you clean up after yourself.

Q: Will there be other stuff to buy?
A: As always, Diabolik DVD will have a table set up throughout much of the
show. We should also have a new 10th anniversary commemorative t-shirt for sale.

Q: Besides money for tickets and DVDs and t-shirts, what else should I bring to the show?
A: If you're in for the long haul, a pillow and blanket or sleeping bag
might make for a cozier viewing experience at 3am. Also plan on bringing
lots of quarters to fill the parking meter periodically if you drive to the
show. Perhaps some caffeine pills or Red Bull would come in handy. And
Tylenol.

Q: This show sounds like a cool idea. Is there anything I can do to help
with the marathon?
A: Tell your friends. Most of the people who discover Exhumed Films do so
via word of mouth. This is obviously a very expensive undertaking for us,
so the more people who attend, the greater the likelihood of our breaking
even! You might also consider passing out some fliers in your area to help
spread the word.

Exhumed Films presents a night of TEENAGE REBELLION!

ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL

Produced by genre giant Roger Corman, Rock 'n' Roll High School is a
throwback to 1950s teen centered music films like Rock Rock Rock, though obviously updated to reflect the musical scene of the late '70s. PJ Soles (Halloween) plays Riff Randall, a rebellious student at Vince Lombardi High School who is obsessed with punk rock legends The Ramones. Riff meets her heroes, writes a song for them, and enlists their help in overthrowing the evil school principal Miss Togar, who has embarked upon a campaign to rid the community of rock music. A highly ridiculous and enjoyable comedy That features Corman film regulars like Mary Woronov, Paul Bartel, and the immortal Dick Miller.
Dir. Allan Arkush \ US \ 1979 \ 35mm \ 93 min. \ Color


SATAN'S CHEERLEADERS

The janitor at a local high school is actually the scout for a coven of
Satanists on the lookout for a virgin to sacrifice. One day he kidnaps the cheerleading squad to use for their rituals. However, unbeknownst to the devil-worshipers, one of the cheerleaders is actually a witch, and has plans of her own for the Satanists. Directed by the infamous exploitationer Greydon Clark (Black Shampoo, Without Warning) and featuring once respectable actors like John Ireland, John Carradine, and Yvonne De Carlo.
Dir. Greydon Clark \ US \ 1977 \ 35mm \ 92 min. \ Color


JOY STICKS

Our final feature of the night is another doozy from the irrepressible
Greydon Clark. When a top local businessman and his two bumbling nephews try to shut down the town's only video arcade, arcade employees and patrons fight back. Not Academy Award material to say the least, but if you're a fan of 1980s arcade games, this film has some sweet footage of games like "Satan's Hollow" and "Pac-Man" in action. Starring a slumming Joe Don Baker and Jon Gries (Monster Squad, Napoleon Dynamite) as punk
rocker/nemesis King Vidiot.

Exhumed Films presents a John Carpenter triple feature!

THE THING

Arguably Carpenter's greatest film (the only other real challenger being Halloween), The Thing is a remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic in name only.

A group of scientists stationed at an Antarctic research facility must confront a shape-shifting alien life form that kills and assumes the identity of other living creatures. The sense of paranoia and madness Carpenter achieves is surpassed only by Rob Bottin's ground breaking visual effects, which are just as impressive 25 years later and stand as testament that CGI cannot always trump a little liquid latex and Karo syrup.

Kurt Russell leads a stellar cast that also includes Wilford Brimley and Keith David.

Dir. John Carpenter \ US \ 1982 \ 35mm \ 109 min. \ Color

PRINCE OF DARKNESS

In many respects this is almost a remake of Carpenter's own Assault on Precinct 13, but with the marauding criminal gangs replaced by possessed homeless people and a big vat of satanic Hawaiian Punch. Donald Pleasance (second only to Kurt Russell on Carpenter's list of favorite actors) is a priest who discovers a bizarre green fluid stored in the basement of an old church and fears it might actually be the antichrist in liquid form.or something like that. Rather than call the Vatican or the army or Ghostbusters, he seeks assistance from a bunch of graduate students and a math professor.

Bad move, Donald.bad move. Also features Victor Wong (hooray!) and Alice Cooper (huh?).

Dir. John Carpenter \ US \ 1987 \ 16mm \ 102 min. \ Color

ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK

Thought Snake Plisken was dead? Think again!! Kurt Russell plays Snake, a dangerous con who is forced by penalty of death to retrieve the president of the US (played by none other than Donald Pleasance) whose plane has crashed into NY City – now a maximum security prison and home to the deadliest criminals on earth!! Featuring an all star cast of cult actors including Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, and Isaac Hayes as the Duke, John Carpenter’s futuristic western set a new standard of tough guy action in the 80s and has never gone out of style.

Dir. John Carpenter \ US \ 1981 \ 35mm \ 99 min. \ Color

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

Cult favorite John Carpenter took a break from his trademark horror films in
the mid 1980s and experimented with combining cinematic genres & styles. Hefollowed the successful 1984 Sci-Fi/Romance Starman with Big Trouble in Little China, an amalgam of action, fantasy, comedy, and kung-fu. The
result is an entertaining mishmash revolving around one of Carpenter's
most colorful antiheroes, gruff trucker/ladies man/butt kicker Jack Burton
(played by frequent Carpenter collaborator Kurt Russell). Burton tries to
help his friend Wang regain his fiancé, who has been kidnapped by an
ancient evil magician; together they battle monsters, demons, and kung-fu
masters in San Francisco's Chinatown. Also starring Kim Cattrall, James
Hong, and the incomparable Victor Wong.
Dir. John Carpenter \ USA \ 1986 \ 35mm \ 82 min. \ Color

SEVEN BROTHERS MEET DRACULA

Released as Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires in the UK (arguably a better title, though not nearly as fun), this was a co-production between the venerable horror pioneers Hammer Films and Hong Kong's leading kung-fu producers, Shaw Brothers Studios. The 1970s saw Hammer ditching their traditional Victorian era gothic horrors for more adventurous, genre
bending fare (see Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter or Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde as evidence); this first ever "kung-fu vampire movie" continues the trend.
Hammer/Amicus Films stalwart Roy Ward Baker directs Peter Cushing in his
fifth-and final-appearance as Professor Van Helsing. This time, Van
Helsing is teaching at a university in China where he teams up with a
kung-fu master to battle seven vampire overlords and their zombie army.
While Seven Brothers Meet Dracula does have a cult following, critics of
thefilm say that the movie is nonsensical and slowly paced. But those people are jerks.
Dir. Roy Ward Baker \ Hong Kong, UK \ 1974 \ 35mm \ 83 min. \ Color

KID WITH THE GOLDEN ARM

The "purest" kung-fu film of our triple-feature, Kid with the Golden Arm
is a classic directed by the great Chang Cheh, who produced some of the most entertaining martial arts films at Shaw Brothers during the 1970s and
early 1980s. Known for his graphic yet cartoon-like violence and memorable characters, Cheh's follow-up to the outrageous Five Deadly Venoms is a non-stop kung fu ride filled with just about everything a fan could want.
An escort service (no, not that kind of escort service.) is hired to
protect a large sum of gold being transported to aid famine victims. But a
gang, led by the infamous Golden Arm, is bent on taking the treasure.
Which clan's kung-fu will reign supreme?

Exhumed Films Presents:

Saturday, Feb 17: MY BLOODY VALENTINE and CANDYMAN

Exhumed Films presents a double dose of Romance Gone Awry!

MY BLOODY VALENTINE-- a well-regarded slasher from the early '80s that once again proves no holiday is safe from homicidal maniacs. A seemingly innocent Valentine's Day dance inadvertently leads to a mine explosion and the deaths of several coal miners (isn't that always the way?). Twenty years later, a group of youngsters decides to organize the town's first Valentine's dance since the horrible accident. Unfortunately, they are stalked by a pick axe wielding, gas mask wearing killer who takes offense to their insensitivity. Could this masked madman be the lone survivor of the explosion, or is something else afoot?

Dir. George Mihalka \ Canada \ 1981 \ 35mm \ 91 min. \ Color

CANDYMAN-- for a gruesome horror film, this has quite a pedigree: it's produced by famed horror writer/director Clive Barker (Hellraiser), written & directed by art house filmmaker Bernard Rose (Immortal Beloved, Anna Karenina), and features a score by Phillip Glass. Loosely based on one of Barker's short stories, Candyman tells the tale of graduate student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen), who is writing a thesis paper on urban legends. In an inner-city ghetto she hears the legend of "Candyman", a vengeful spirit who materializes and slaughters anyone brave enough (or foolish enough) to repeat his name five times. When a series of murders takes place in the city, it seems as if the titular boogeyman might be the culprit. Even worse is the possibility that Helen herself is actually the reincarnation of Candyman's long lost love. Her boyfriend's back, and she's gonna be in trouble.....

Dir. B.D. Clark \ USA \ 1981 \ 35mm \ 82 min. \ Color

Dir. Eddie Romero \ Philippines & USA \ 1971 \ 35mm \ 87 min. \ Color

DEVIL TIMES FIVE - Three adult couples at a snowbound lodge are terrorized by a group of murderous mental patients. Oh, did we mention that the escaped lunatics are also children? And that one of them is Leif Garrett? Now that's scary.
Dir. Sean MacGregor \ USA \ 1974 \ 35 mm \ 88 min. \ Color
SCREAMERS - Originally titled Island of the Fishmen, American distributors wisely changed the name of this Italian import to something a little less absurd. Notorious director Sergio Martino (Slave of the Cannibal God, Torso) tells the Dr. Moreau-like tale of shipwreck survivors who are washed ashore a mysterious island populated by genetically altered...well...fishmen. Hmm. Guess the original title was better after all.
Dir. Sergio Martino \ Italy & USA \ 1979 \ 35mm \ 90 min. \ Color

$12 - Showtime 8:00pm

SLEEPAWAY CAMP: Initially dismissed as yet another pointless retread of Friday the 13th, Sleepaway Camp has since garnered a huge cult following due to its creative death sequences and shocking plot twists: a series of bizarre and increasingly violent accidents begins to claim the lives of various teens at Camp Arawak. Who is the twisted individual behind these murders?

Also features George Kennedy, Julia Duffy, and Andrew "Dice" Clay (!); directed by genre favorite Greydon Clark (Satan's Cheerleaders, Joysticks).

Jim Van Bebber's
Charlie’s Family (aka Manson Family)
and
Race with the Devil
(70`s Satanic Action Film)

Fifteen years in the making, THE MANSON FAMILY, formerly known as CHARLIE¹S FAMILY in film circles, is the second feature from Dayton filmmaker Jim Van Bebber. Van Bebber found a cult following in the late 80¹s with his feature DEADBEAT AT DAWN as well as for his short films and music videos for such bands as Skinny Puppy.

A self-financed labor of love, the film's scope expanded over the years to become a multi-layered final word on the tragic events of August 9th & 10th 1969 as well as the impact those events continue to have on popular culture. The film combines detailed recreations of the Family members' lives, chronicling of the events on the Spahn Ranch that led to the Tate-LaBianca killings and contemporary jailhouse interviews with The Family as well as a chilling look at a group of Manson-obsessed, nihilistic punk teenagers. Connecting these narrative strands is a tabloid television journalist producing a special focusing on The Family. Stylistically, The Manson Family fuses classic grindhouse horror with an experimentalism rooted in the underground referencing the transcendent death trip of the Cinema of Transgression to Kenneth Anger's hallucinogenic occultism.
