Sleepaway Camp (USA 1983, dir. Robert Hiltzik)
“A film that’s not only stood the test of time, but has also slaughtered it with a glimmering blade in a cabin shower.” – Annie Choi, Bleeding Skull
From its grisly makeup effects to its fashionable short-shorts and truly shocking, unforgettable climax, SLEEPAWAY CAMP is no ordinary slasher film… it’s an all-timer cult classic. After a terrible boating accident killed her family, shy Angela (Felissa Rose) goes to live with her eccentric Aunt Martha and cousin Ricky. This summer, Martha sends them both to Camp Arawak, a place to enjoy the great outdoors. Shortly after their arrival, a series of bizarre, violent accidents claim the lives of various campers. Has a dark secret returned from the camp’s past… or will some other unspeakable horror end the summer season for all?!
Pigs (USA 1973, dir. Marc Lawrence)
“It would make a great double feature with THE WITCH WHO CAME FROM THE SEA.” - Hollie Horror, LETTERBOXD

After arriving in a secluded California town, she takes a job as a waitress for Zambrini (Marc Lawrence), an elderly former circus performer who runs a small cafe, complete with a pen of 12 hungry pigs. Local legend has it that his pigs only eat human flesh and that in order to satisfy their growing appetites, Zambrini has begun to murder drifters. Soon the sheriff begins to get suspicious of the strange goings on at Zambrini's farm and grows closer and closer to discovering the shocking truth of the pigs. Directed by character actor Marc Lawrence and starring his daughter Toni, PIGS is a suspenseful and atmospheric psychological horror film featuring claustrophobic photography and a haunting score by Charles Bernstein (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET).
