Fitzroy's Screen Sect hosts a chiller/thriller lineup of classic horror films during The Age 2006 Melbourne Fringe Festival, and for the rest of October.
Adam Spellicy has curated an Invasion of the Body Snatchers mini-season over three consecutive Mondays, comprised of:
- The original 1955 version by Don Seigel on 2nd October;
- Philip Kaufman's 1978 remake on 9th October, starring Donald Sutherland (pictured as a shrieking pod-person, above) and Jeff Goldblum; and,
- Abel Ferrara's 1993 version on 16th October.
"They're here already! You're next! You're next! You're next!"
Plus rounding out October, catch John Carpenter's 1988 film They Live on Monday October 23 and the Howard Hawks-produced, 1951 Christian Nyby film, The Thing From Another World on Monday October 30.
Screen Sect is a night devoted to rarely seen, obsessively loved and criminally neglected cult classics of cinema. Revisit old favourites, uncover hidden celluloid gems, indulge guilty pleasures, or just get yourself an education.
