Friday the 13th Marathon: The Babadook + '80s Trash Horror Flicks

Overview

Friday the 13th. Yes, it's the title of a horror classic (plus several terrible sequels and Kelly Rowland-starring remakes), but it's also an excuse to watch some seriously frightening films. The date’s namesake might not be on offer at The New Globe’s night of scary cinema, but you won't go wanting for scares in this round-up of unusual suspects.

Australia's best addition to the genre in years, The Babadook, kickstarts the evening for all those who missed it on the big screen last year (and we know there's quite a few in that camp). Then, settle in for a marathon of devilishly delicious '80s trash horror flicks that promise to live up to their label.

Because going to the gym isn't steeped in enough dread, Killer Workout sees fitness aficionados killed off one by one. In The Deadly Spawn, alien creatures try to satisfy their taste for human flesh in a small town. To cap things off, find out just why cult classic The Toxic Avenger is the B-grade superhero movie to end all B-grade superhero movies.
