The famous Music Box here in Chicago has revealed its massive lineup for their annual Music Box of Horrors’ 24-hour long marathon, which takes placeSaturday, October 13th at Noon (doors open at 11am) and runs through Sunday, October 14th at Noon. The highlight is the screening of Tom Holland’s Child’s Play, which celebrates the film’s 30th anniversary and will be hosted by franchise creator and writer (and recent director) Don Mancini!
It also promises to obliterate your sanity as they journey to the land of Australia for some skin-melting-goop-debauchery, revel in the gleeful delight of two of horrors greatest villains battling to the death, crash land into a hellscape of vamp-infused alien invasion, a sadistic desert-commune living cult leader cum magician, a tale of two sisters and the primate that tears them apart, and oh so much more!
