Horrible Imaginings Film Festival celebrates Women in Horror Month and Black History Month in partnership with Graveyard Shift Sisters and Horror House Party.
Marlene Clark is spotlighted in a repertory screening of Ganja and Hess, Bill Gunn’s subversive answer to both the Blaxploitation and vampire genres. Gunn's film, shredded to ribbons by the studios before its initial U.S. release in 1973, will be presented in the director's original entirety.
Then the turn-of-the-millennium classic American Psycho, directed by Mary Harron, in 35mm format. Harron's adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel is a wild ride not only into the mind of a sociopath but also into the heart of 1980's consumer culture.
