Fifteen-year-old Brigitte Fitzgerald (Emily Perkins, STEPHEN KING’S IT, JUNO) and her nearly-sixteen-year-old sister Ginger (Katharine Isabelle, FREDDY VS. JASON, AMERICAN MARY) are both best friends and outcasts. Obsessed with dying and bound by a childhood pact to stay together forever, they loathe their mind-numbing existence in the suburbs of Bailey Downs. One the night of Ginger’s first period, the two girls are heading through the woods when Ginger is savagely attacked by a wild creature.
Ginger’s horrible wounds miraculously heal over, but something is not quite right about her. Ginger is irritable and in denial. But to Brigitte, it is obvious that a terrifying force has taken hold of her sister. She’s convinced that the insatiable craving her sister is experiencing can mean only one thing: Ginger is becoming something unspeakably evil and monstrous.
Also starring Mimi Rogers (PENNY DREADFUL), Kris Lemche (FINAL DESTINATION 3) and Jesse Moss (TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL), this wicked feminist horror film was created by ORPHAN BLACK Producers John Fawcett and Karen Walton

Frankenweenie:
Young Victor Frankenstein (Charlie Tahan) is a science nerd and outsider at school, but he does have one good friend: his dog, Sparky. But then, tragedy strikes, and Sparky shuffles off this mortal coil. Victor is heartbroken, but his science teacher (Martin Landau) gives him an idea of how to jolt old Sparky back to life. The experiment is successful, and all goes well, until Victor’s fellow students steal his secret and use it to resurrect other dead animals — with monstrous consequences.

Screening in 35mm!
Frank Zito—a career defining performance by co-writer/co-executive producer Joe Spinell (ROCKY, THE GODFATHER)—is a deeply disturbed man haunted by the traumas of unspeakable childhood abuse. When these horrific memories begin to scream inside his mind, Frank prowls the seedy streets of New York City to stalk and slaughter innocent young women. Now, Frank has begun a relationship with a beautiful photographer (Caroline Munro, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), yet his vile compulsions remain. These are the atrocities of a human monster. This is the story of a MANIAC.
Directed by William Lustig (MANIAC COP) and featuring landmark gore effects by Tom Savini (DAWN OF THE DEAD, FRIDAY THE 13th), this relentlessly shocking and disturbing film was originally censored all over the world due to its graphic violence.

However, an unforeseen complication unfolds when an ordinary human unwittingly crashes the party and falls in love with Mavis.
