SCREENINGS
Sneak Peek! Beset By Demons: The Lou Perryman Story Directed by Kim Henkel (co-writer of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 1974) and Brian Huberman (associate professor of film at Rice University) – Lou Perryman was a big man with a big heart, and big appetites. He loved life, both its bright lights and its dark underbelly. He was a veteran, a factory worker, assistant cameraman, an actor of considerable talent, gourmand, lover of women, long-time cabbie, a devoted father, and a convicted felon. This film attempts to uncover some perspective on a life that was in many respects quite ordinary—but in others was a grand, quintessentially American adventure. Followed by a Q&A with the directors.

Faceless presented by Severin Films. The purveyors of only the best in horror, exploitation, and sleaze present their all new 4K scan of Faceless!

Anton Diffring (Circus of Horrors) and Florence Guérin (Caligula, Messalina) co-star – with appearances by Howard Vernon (The Awful Dr. Orloff) and Lina Romay – in this unapologetically graphic shocker, now scanned for the first time in 4K from the original negative.
