[Beyond Fest] Bloody Disgusting Presenting Screenings of Fede Alvarez’s ‘Evil Dead’ UNCUT, ‘Freddy vs. Jason’ and ‘You’re Next’!
Beyond Fest has just announced its massive slate of 2021 programming that returns to theaters for 10 days of cinematic excess from Wednesday, September 29th thru Monday, October 11th. While you can read all about that here, Bloody Disgusting is part of two pretty huge days of celebration.
Join Bloody Disgusting on Sunday, October 3rd, for three very special screenings programmed to celebrate our 20th anniversary, hosted by our very own The Boo Crew Podcast.
Opening the day is the battle between the king of the monsters, Freddy vs. Jason (2003) with writers Damian Shannon and Mark Swift appearing in person*! Ronny Yu directed the slasher that fulfilled the promise of pitting Friday the 13th‘s Jason Voorhees against A Nightmare on Elm Street‘s Freddy Krueger in an ultra-violent and epic “final” battle.
Next up, genre superheroes Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett will be on hand* to discuss You’re Next after a rare 35mm screening to celebrate the film’s 10th anniversary. Lionsgate released the slasher that puts an upper-class family through a night of hell.
Closing out the event will be Fede Álvarez* with the world’s first theatrical screening of his uncut Evil Dead (2013) in all its glory!
This specific event will take place at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. Attendance to all screenings requires physical proof of vaccination and guests must follow mandatory mask mandates.
*We hope to add more guests as we get closer to the event and those announced are subject to change.
Tickets will be on sale via Eventbrite on September 17th at 10 AM PST. Visit BeyondFest.com and the American Cinematheque for details.
Abigail Cowen (“Stranger Things,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” The Ritual) will lead the cast of psychedelic horror movie The Guide, Deadline reports this week.
James Badge Dale (13 Hours) and Edouard Philipponnat (Napoleon) will also star. Inon Shampanier directs from a script co-written with Natalie Shampanier.
Deadline details, “Abigail Cowen will play a young woman who enters a psilocybin mushroom retreat in an effort to heal past traumas, surrendering herself to the care of a psychedelic therapy guide (James Badge Dale). As the guide’s motives come under suspicion, the past bleeds into the present and the session unravels into a psychedelic nightmare.”
“This psychedelic therapy thriller is designed to be a visceral inward journey, and I am thrilled to go on this journey with the incredibly talented James Badge Dale, Abigail Cowen and Edouard Philipponnat,” Inon Shampanier said in a statement to Deadline.
Stay tuned for more on The Guide as we learn it.
