Staring: John Terry, Chris Sarandon

There’s a lot of debate over which movie does the best job of adapting an H.P. Lovecraft story to the big screen – but that’s only because not enough people have seen Dan O’Bannon’s 1991 classic, which brings to life a much grislier take on the same novella that inspired previous Horror Pod Class alum The Haunted Palace. This time, John Terry and Chris Sarandon star in one of the goriest, weirdest, and best versions of the Old Gent’s work ever committed to celluloid. Come for a FREE screening of this underseen classic and stick around afterward as the hosts of the Horror Pod Class discuss Lovecraft’s work, the movie’s excellent autumnal atmosphere, and some of the weirdest gore you’ve ever seen, plus your opportunity to win some suitably eldritch prizes!

THE HORROR POD CLASS is a monthly free screening hosted by Orrin Grey and Tyler Unsell where they seek out horror films that could be useful in a school setting. Screenings start at 7pm with a live podcast recording taking place after.
