Hollywood Avondale is playing a heap of tasty horror in their iconic theatre throughout October, and they’ve just released their month-long programme. Find out more about what they are playing, and how to win double passes to closing night film The Fog (presented in 4D “Fogarama”).
Auckland’s iconic Hollywood Avondale has announced its transformation into Horrorwood – a month-long programme of over 30 features for horror-lovers this October. The line-up includes exciting new films, like A24’s religious horror Saint Maud, as well as cult classics, such as the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and some truly bizarre oddities, à la Blood Freak. Cinema purists will appreciate the numerous 35mm presentations on offer as well as double-feature screenings like Scream 1 & 2 playing back-to-back.
Opening night film Saint Maud will screen exclusively at the Hollywood during October, ahead of its theatrical release overseas. Lead actor Morfydd Clark, who plays Maud, will be attending the screening and taking part in a special Q&A after the film at its October 1 premiere.
Horrorwood concludes with a very special screening presented by Shudder: John Carpenter’s The Fog in 4D FOGARAMA. It’s described as an immersive cinema experience “in which at key moments in the film, the audience itself will be engulfed by a mysterious fog. The Hollywood cannot guarantee what else will be in the fog.”
