Thursday September 25th at 7:00pm: THE CRATE

    
Some secrets should stay buried forever

The Crate
Prepare yourselves to face the horror that lurks in the shadows with Stephen King's chilling tale, 'The Crate'. Featured memorably of course in the classic movie Creepshow, this story follows the dark discovery of a long-forgotten crate hidden under the stairs deep in a university basement. What's inside is a terrifying, ancient creature, brought back to life to wreak havoc. And a meek professor sees a monstrous solution to his domestic woes.

SATURDAY November 2nd at 6pm: MORGAN CAREY AND THE CURSE OF THE CORPSE BRIDE - Dia de los Muertos Myths & Legends

 


“Oh, don’t be such a scaredy-cat”
Morgan Carey
THE CURSE OF THE CORPSE BRIDE
Dia de los Muertos Myths & Legends by Susan Colleen Browne

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Myths and legends...
Halloween is just around the corner, and 5th grader Morgan chooses the coolest costume ever—a dead bride. Preparing for a fun night of trick-or-treating with her best friend Claire, she definitely did not expect a trip to the costume store to set off a series of strange encounters… Like the snarky, mysterious clerk at the store, a very curious bridal veil, and a weird fortune-telling machine that actually works…when it’s not plugged in!

But Halloween quickly takes a spooky turn: a Day of the Dead curse, an old book of magical spells, and a dark and deserted cemetery forces Morgan, with Claire’s help, to confront the powerful magic of Dia de los Muertos...Or is Morgan doomed to be cursed by the Corpse Bride forever? A family-friendly Halloween adventure - humor, drama and just the right touch of scariness!

THURSDAY October 24th at 9pm: LAST OF PLACIDE'S WIFE

 


"The slavering terror panted at my heels"
LAST OF PLACIDE'S WIFE
Cajun Vampires & Werewolves Battle in the Bayou by Kirk Mashburn

There was a positively feral light in those glorious eyes, now; and that seductive mouth had ceased to be such. With lips drawn back from her teeth (queer that I had not before noticed how sharp and cruelly pointed they seemed—like fangs!

A shuddery story of Louisiana Cajuns, of corpses that screamed in their graves, and a woman who would not stay dead.

THURSDAY October 17th at 9pm: INCIDENT ON SADDLE ROAD

 

“We’ve entered the creepy stretch of Saddle Road.”
INCIDENT ON SADDLE ROAD
Alien Terror by Brian Moreland

Up the road, a thick fog bank rolled across the valley. Before Jeff could switch on the headlights, mist swallowed his Subaru Outback. The morning sunshine vanished. The landscape within the haze turned gray, as if the fog had sucked the color out of the world. Surrounding ‘ĹŚhi’a trees and volcanic terrain dotted with scrub were half-hidden by drifting wisps of vapor.
