Hello, kiddies! The Crypt-Keeper made his jump to the big SCREAM with this ghoulish tale featuring an all-SCAR cast of character HACKtors in one of the most underrated horror films of the '90s, directed by Ernest R. Dickerson.

Ex-soldier Frank Brayker (William Sadler) is the guardian of an ancient key that can unlock tremendous evil; the sinister Collector (Billy Zane) is a demon who wants the key so he can initiate the apocalypse. On the run from wicked mercenaries for almost 90 years, Brayker finally stops in at a boarding house in New Mexico where — with the help of its residents — he plans to face off against the Collector and his band of ghouls, preventing them from ever seizing the key. Don't miss one of these rare 35mm screenings!

“Between scenes of splattering gore in which severed heads literally roll across the floor, the movie has a good time spoofing itself and a gallery of mostly sleazy characters who confront a crew of blood-thirsty demons.” Stephen Holden, The New York Times
