Severin Films Presents Double-Feature Of Obscure Horror Insanity
Severin Films, distributors of the midnight movie sensation Birdemic: Shock And Terror, is sponsoring a night of obscure horror appreciation at the reRun Theater tonight, October 29, at midnight. Billed as “an evening of top shelf cine-masochism” by Severin’s Evan Husney, the evening will consist of the unveiling of an obsessive assemblage of forgotten horror hilarity titled Brain Bludgeon, and Chester Turner’s essential shot-on-video omnibus film Tales From The Quadead Zone (1987). Check out the trailer and descriptions below, looks like a blast! Advanced tickets can be purchased here for only $3 (super cheap!), otherwise admission is free at the door if seats are left over.

Sewn together from hundreds of forgotten horror films, BRAIN BLUDGEON is a transcendental fusion of trash exposing the willing to everything curious, bizarre, hilarious and awful about no-budget genre films. Hot penny torture, exploding 3d skulls, brutal “de-fetusing”, raping zombies, and much more collide in this blissfully IQ-withering amalgamation of exploitation hell.
TALES FROM THE QUADEAD ZONE / 1987 / 61 mins
Chester Turner (BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL) is easily the most mysterious auteur to emerge from the `80s camcorder horror underground. TALES FROM THE QUADEAD ZONE centers on a bereaved mom who entertains her invisible son with three stories – rednecks fighting over sandwiches, a dead body dressed up as a clown and lastly, her own. Perhaps the single weirdest thing (coming from a long, long list) about QUADEAD is its poignant, surprisingly personal ending in what Bleeding Skull calls, “the greatest shot-on-video trash film of all time time… creepy, hysterical, surreal and well beyond explanation!”
The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
