Yesterday was the first night of the Cinema Macabre in the small theatre called Cavia, which was the John Carpenter night, better known for directing Halloween and The Thing.
I attended the night along with a couple of friends and I did not realize you could only pay with cash, so thankfully a friend of mine payed for my ticket which, again thankfully, was only 5 euros. We grabbed a drink (I don't recommend the white wine) and we went ahead and chose our seats. There were about 7 rows, and after a short speech from the organizers the first movie started: Prince of Darkness. A movie from the 80's which is based on the end of the world through religious ways. I liked it. It had a couple of scares and I liked the story.
Then there was a break and the second movie started: In the mouth of madness. I really liked this one! Especially the Lovecraft references. It's a very different kind of horror. But this one was also part of the trilogy of movies John made revolving around the apocalypse. This one was through the art of writing books. I highly recommend this movie, it's weird and trippy with a couple of scares. I'll probably watch this one a second time, or buy the dvd.
I'm really glad they organized this event and I'm happy to hear that they are planning to organize these every 2 months. I think I'll be a regular here! It's a great way to watch older horror movies in a theatre setting, especially in such a cozy theatre. Do recommend! Especially if you love horror movies.
