On this day way back in 1931, the groundbreaking gay director F.W. Murnau, director of the silent classification Nosferatu, died at the age of 42. In 2015, his grave was broken into and his skull was stolen, never to be seen again.
Join us Saturday, March 14 at 8:15 PM at The Community Theatre in Catskill for a big-screen showing of the cult horror classic Leprechaun starring Jennifer Aniston and Warwick Davis.
Before the movie, drag horror host Glam Stroker kicks things off with some trivia & giveaways from local businesses.
Want a film where you can see the director of Woman Under the Influence explode? On this day in 1978, we saw the debut of Brian DePalma's The Fury starring Kirk Douglas, Amy Irving and the combustible John Cassavetes. Yes, we have this one in the rental collection too!

Don't have a VCR? No problem! Rob walks you through three films on DVD that you can rent right in the store including a prescient but little seen thriller, a totally bizarre horror film from the scion of a famous family and the film follow up to a cult TV series.

"Malachai: He Who Walks Behind The Rows will decide your fate!" On this day in 1984, the film adaptation of Stephen King's Children of the Corn was released, kicking off an 11 film franchise (and yes, we have many of them in the rental collection!)

One final round of preshow sneak peaks for Dead 'Til Dawn at The Community Theater. Gloves, leather, and odes to 80s & 90s NYC.
It's the final day before Dead 'Til Dawn slinks back into its crypt until September. Today, we have a double feature of two favorites: Dario Argento's Deep Red (which we have to rent in our archive) and Frank Henenlotter's Brain Damage. Miss these at your own peril.
The drive-in never dies. Not in this store, and definitely not in Rob's heart. Celebrating with THE LAST HORROR MOVIE, but we feel assured there will be more. Go mutant family! Love always to our heroes Joe Bob Briggs & Diana Prince Darcy

Here's a sneak peak at the preshows for today's films at Dead 'Till Dawn at The Community Theater. Expect some of the weirdest commercials, trailers and clips we could find.
Dead Till the Dawn rises from the grave tonight at The Community Theater with Zombie, Blood and Black Lace and Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (we have a great copy on Blu-ray in the shop).
We have preshows for all of the movies plus a fresh restock of horror movies & toys in the store.
The Lawnmower Man, adapted in name only from a story by Stephen King, was released on this day in 1992. The effects might be dated but the story was ahead of its time. We have this film for rent on VHS and DVD (plus the sequel) right on our in-store rental wall.

Happy Birthday to a film in Rob's Top 5 of all time: ZODIAC, which got its wide release on this day in 2007. Both methodical and terrifying, the top notch cast features a career best performance from Robert Downey Jr.
Been itching to see this one again on the big screen!
🔪 “I’m starting with Judy…”
And just like that, we’re ranking the most brutal murder sequences in the Scream franchise.
Did Deputy (Sheriff) Judy and Wes deserve the top spot? Or is there a kill that hits harder?
Watch the debate unfold in our latest episode.

📺 Video on YouTube
Couple hundred tapes, one haul, zero self-control. 📼✨ Horror, weird TV, sci-fi, cult oddities, and total shelf surprises (we’re already arguing over what gets a “staff pick”).
