A Sweet Wolf's Midnite Howl Co-Throw
Dir. Mark Herrier - 1991 - 91m - Valid for Punch Cards
Co-presented by local horror fans SWEET WOLF'S MIDNITE HOWL!
From the brilliant minds behind DEAD OF NIGHT and CHILDREN SHOULDN’T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS comes the hilarious and bloody love letter to movie theaters that is POPCORN! When a group of film students devise a gimmick-filled horror movie marathon at an abandoned cinema, they unwittingly wander into the sights of a murderous psychopath who’s all too happy to use their props and tricks to his own deadly ends. Both a glorious tribute to the cinema antics of William Castle and a thrilling slasher satire all its own, POPCORN is a delicious bite of movie-loving magic—dig in and enjoy the show!

"A very nifty black-comic horror movie, one of the rare entries in the genre with some genuine wit and affection." -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"An underrated little horror gem. If you think you've seen all the scary movies and need a fix, give this one a try." - Larry Carroll, Countingdown.com
