Fright Night: Halloween & Friday the 13th

Trail & District Arts Council and The Royal Theatre present Friday Fright Night Double Bill: “Halloween” & “Friday the 13th” at the Silver Screen Drive-In. New August START TIME – 9:00 pm

It’s Friday Fright Night with two classic horror films from the 1970’s and 1980’s, “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th”! On a cold “Halloween” night in 1963, six-year-old Michael Myers brutally murdered his 17-year-old sister, Judith. He was sentenced and locked away. Fifteen years later to the day, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again. Dr. Loomis knows Michael is coming back to Haddonfield, but by the time the town realizes it’s too late. This film established Jamie Lee Curtis as a scream queen icon and made the boogeyman very real!

Rated 96 % on Rotten Tomatoes!

“Who could have predicted that the low-budget pic Halloween would have a profound influence on an industry, not to mention on the concept of Halloween itself?” – Mike Emery, Austin Chronicle

“…will have you scared witless by the time the end credits roll; low budget horror hog heaven.” – Chris Hewitt, Empire Magazine

Directors: John Carpenter / Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Donald Pleasance, Tony Moran / Genre: Horror, Thriller / Length: 1h 31min / Country: USA / Language: English / Rating: 18A

It’s “Friday the 13th” and a group of camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to reopen a summer camp which was the site of a child’s drowning and a grisly double murder years before. In 1957, a young boy named Jason Voorhees drowns in a lake near Camp Crystal Lake. The next year, two counselors are murdered. In 1980, a descendant of the original owners reopens Camp Crystal Lake with some counselors’ help despite its history of murder. The counselors get killed one by one by a mysterious person. Could it be Jason out for revenge?

“A hugely influential film that contributed to the 1980s horror boom.” – Matt Ford, BBC.com

“A campfire boogeyman story designed to… build tension and deliver a few well-timed shocks, which it does with precision and even a bit of artistry.” – James Kendrick, Q Network Film Desk

Directors: Sean S. Cunningham / Cast: Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, Jeannine Taylor / Genre: Horror, Mystery, Thriller / Length: 1h 35min / Country: USA / Language: English / Rating: 18A
