Join us for a screening of a different movie every Wednesday night at 6:30pm at Old Town Hall, located down the street at 201 Delaware St. Admission is a sliding scale of $5-10, though no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Refreshments will be available for purchase. BYOB.On Wednesday, October 22, Movies @ Old Town Hall is proud to screen Messiah of Evil, directed by Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz, 1974.
After receiving a string of unsettling letters from her father, Arletty arrives in a sleepy California coastal town called Point Dune. Dad is nowhere to be seen. Instead, Arletty finds a town full of drugged-out burnouts, barren shopping centers, and... something else. Echoing everything from Herk Harvey's Carnival of Souls to Mario Bava's K*ll, Baby... K*ll!, Messiah of Evil is a swirling vortex of Lovecraftian terror, analog synth attacks, and grisly bloodshed from the team who'd later go on to make Howard the Duck. Marianna Hill, Michael Greer, and Elisha Cook Jr. star in this unjustly overlooked major work of independent American horror that's primed for (re)discovery.
Messiah of Evil is 90 minutes long and rated R.
