2016 Weekend of Terror - 2 Nights of 1970's Drive-In Horror Triple Features

Tension so unbearable... so overwhelming you'll want to scream out loud! Prepare yourself for "Weekend of Terror" at the Mahoning Drive-In Theater. On 9/30 and 10/1, Exhumed Films will present six savage cinema staples from the drive-ins of the 70s! Can you withstand two terrifying nights of raw, brutal fright? Triple features designed to take you to the edge of sanity... then kick you over! You have been forewarned: this is one weekend that is not for the weak of heart. Don't come alone! Friday, September 30th: TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE (1971)- Also known as BAY OF BLOOD, Mario Bava's warped proto-slasher Giallo bloodbath inspired FRIDAY THE 13TH, and is one devilishly dark black comedy, one gory, horrible picturesque death at a time. This is a film that should not be missed by any serious horror fan! I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (1978)- In one of the most notorious exploitation-horror movies of all time, a victimized young woman methodically hunts down and brutally slays her attackers one by bloody one... and no jury in America would ever convict her! Starring Camille Keaton. DEATH WEEKEND (1976)- Canadian genre specialist William (KILLER PARTY, BLUE MONKEY) Fruet contributed this very effective and very underrated home invasion thriller produced to cash-in on Wes Craven's LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT. Brenda Vaccaro and Don Stroud co-star. Saturday, October 1st: THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974)- Perhaps the greatest horror film to come out of the 70's! Tobe Hooper's unparalleled, uncompromisingly grim masterpiece of survival fright can forever be imitated, but never duplicated. Forty two years later, this low-budget exercise in unbridled lunacy has lost none of it's ability to confront and terrorize an audience. Bring someone with you that's never seen it! THE BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE (1972)- A superb example of the European horror film, Vincente Aranda's stylish and shocking erotic vampire tale of lesbianism and reincarnation was originally distributed with an advertising gimmick that promised an "up-chuck cup" to all patrons in the event they couldn't handle all the violence and morbid sexual desire on display! Just in case YOU can't handle all the onscreen violence and sexual desire we will have "up-chuck cups" available to those with weak stomachs. I DISMEMBER MAMA (1972)- The film that originally played drive-ins as the co-feature to THE BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE is back for a super-rare 35mm screening! This sleazy, uncomfortable psycho killer thriller tells the story of a institutionalized young man who escapes the mental ward to murder his mother and anyone who gets in the way. From the writer of DAY OF THE ANIMALS and NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER!
