Halloween Fright Nights at the Lumiere

This coming Halloween weekend thru to Wednesday November 2nd bring your 'ghoulfriend' and let us scare you to death this coming weekend at the Lumiere with the return of some classic 'fright night flicks'... Werewolfs, monsters and witches invite you to their coven - beware!!!!

First up Sunday 30th at 7.15pm - The Howling (1981) A beautiful 4k restoration... Sink your claws into Joe Dante's primal masterpiece of horror...

Dee Wallace (E.T.'s pal, Cujo's nemesis) is a television news anchor in Los Angeles. But she's also being stalked by a serial killer. After an elaborate trap is set for the killer in a porno theatre, Wallace loses her memory. Then her therapist suggests that she and her husband visit "The Colony," a wooded resort for people with problems. Some of those problems might involve sex. And werewolves. And werewolves and sex.

On second Sunday 30th at 9pm - The Funhouse (1981) directed by Tobe Hooper

A shady carnival has just rolled into town and four teenagers (Elizabeth Berridge, Cooper Huckabee, Largo Woodruff, Miles Chapin) think it’s a swell way to spend their Saturday night. As their evening of merriment draws to a close, the idea hits them: Spend the night in the funhouse! Because this is the sort of thing rationally-thinking teenagers do for fun, the quartet sneak into the chamber of horrors for a spooky orgy. However, their orgy doesn’t last long, as they find the funhouse to be the home of a deformed monster (Wayne Doba) that likes strangling hookers. After making the mistake of raiding the funhouse’s cashbox, enraging not only the monster but his unscrupulous carny father, the teens are locked inside the maze-like freakshow to be hunted down one at a time.

Halloween Evening Monday 31st at 8.30pm - Suspiria (1977) directed by Dario Argento

Beautiful technicolor splendor, Suspiria is a movie that makes sense only to the eye (and even then . . .). A naïve young American student named Suzy (the preternaturally wide-eyed Jessica Harper) arrives in dankest Germany to—what else?—study ballet. Stepping out of the airport, she’s greeted with a sudden gust of wind and then torrential rain; arriving at the doorstep of the Dance Academy Freiburg, she’s nearly knocked over by a hysterical student who is shortly to be dispatched in a bit of horrific, stick-and-stab Grand Guignol set to a jangling, cackling, ear-splitting score by a band called Goblin....

Finally on Wednesday November 2nd at 8.15pm - Bram Stokers Dracula (1992)

Francis Ford Coppola’s vampire tale is now revived in cinemas for its 30th anniversary, with Gary Oldman the fierce and anguished count who hundreds of years ago renounced God and embraced an eternity of parasitic horror in his rage at the unjust death of his countess (played by Winona Ryder). Dressed like the Pierrot from hell in his vast Transylvanian castle, Dracula then buys property in Victorian London, and appears there in the style of a sinister young dandy, on the scent of a woman who looks exactly like his late wife: the winsome Mina (Ryder again), fiancee to the equally demure young lawyer who journeyed to Romania to draw up Dracula’s contracts: Jonathan, played by Keanu Reeves...- Guardian
