Dendy Newtown is thrilled to announce we will be holding Halloween House of Horror, a Horror Movie cinema takeover on Halloween, Monday 31st, October.
We have a jam-packed line up of 11 spooky horror films, from Cult Classics to Modern Must-sees, taking over every theatre in the building simultaneously. We encourage patrons to come dressed in Halloween costumes, all costumed ticket holders will receive a free medium popcorn.
Tickets will be just $12 for Club Dendy Members and $15 for general admission.
We have covered all bases, no matter your taste for terror …
From the 70’s we have “The Scariest Movie of All Time” THE EXORCIST (Director’s Cut) ready to possess you once more with it’s phenomenal mix of atmosphere and special effects.
Or, from the 80’s THE SHINING, the original theatrical cut, presented in 35mm on the big screen as part of our Celluloid Dreams program, exclusively at Dendy Newtown!
David Cronenberg’s sci-fi masterpiece, and, his biggest success, THE FLY. Come for the fantastic direction and creature effects, stay for the shirtless Jeff Goldblum.
We’ve got horror comedies are covered with Sam Raimi’s classic, iconic cabin-in-the woods slapstick EVIL DEAD 2.
Or if your fam are fans of a light fright, the satirical GREMLINS with the adorable gizmo is great one to take your little mogwais to.
From Japan, the acclaimed original THE RING (aka RINGU). Finally settle the debate whether this version is better than the US remake (hint: it is).
Modern Australian classic and so-incredibly-deserved international hit: Jennifer Kent’s THE BABADOOK will have you shook.
Brand new, hot off the presses: HALLOWEEN ENDS, the final entry in the acclaimed legacy trilogy, with Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode returning to Haddonfield to face down Michael Myers once and for all.
And we have fresh new Aussie Horror with SISSY. This devilishly clever, wildly entertaining SXSW Film Festival success sees an Instagram influencer encounter her childhood tormentor on a hen’s weekend.
Finally, at Dendy Newtown only, the ultimate Trick or Treat: Andrew Leavold will be presenting a rare MYSTERY shlock-horror cult movie, only available on VHS. Filmmaker, presenter and pulp-genre expert Andrew Leavold was owner/manager of Trash Video, the largest cult video rental store in Australia and we have no idea what he’s going to pull out of his vaults but with tickets only $8 it’s sure to be worth a roll of the dice.
