Schedule (all times are subject to change):
9 p.m.: "The Howling" (1981) - An investigative reporter accidentally takes a sabbatical near a den of hostile werewolves. She should have stuck with a staycation.
10:45 p.m. The Miss Scream-O-Rama Pageant
11 p.m.: "Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part II" (1986) - It's a family affair when Leatherface and his kin return to Texas for round two of their gory celebration of power tools. This may be your only chance to see Dennis Hopper challenge a family of murderers to a game of dueling chain saws.

4:10 AM: "Cannibal Holocaust" (1980) - Four documentary filmmakers plumb the mysterious jungle, and bite off more than they can chew. Soon, they're chewed, too. Moral and animal activists banned this movie in more than 50 countries.

7:30 a.m: "The Gates of Hell," aka "City of the Living Dead" (1980) - It's a race to close the gates of hell before All Saints Day, or the dead may rise and plunder the Earth for eternity.
