The Great Astor Spooktacular: Part 2
Ring in Halloween with 13 hours of back-to-back horror films.
Overview
Historic Melbourne cinema The Astor is hosting their Great Astor Spooktacular again this year, which means nine movies will be shown in a 13-hour-long horror marathon — right in time for Halloween.
Directed by "the devil" and featuring a cast of "hell itself", some of the films include The Amityville Horror — the original 1979 supernatural horror film that inspired the 17-film franchise — as well as 1988 slasher film Child's Play (you know, the super creepy and murderous doll), and cult film Night of the Comet, a 1984 film about the survivors of a comet that killed (or zombified) almost all of humankind. The historic cinema, known for its presentation of classics and cult films, is the perfect venue for the all-right horror marathon.
It all kicks off at 8pm on Friday, October 28 and runs overnight. Needless to say, this one isn't for the faint of heart.
