Comfort Film Halloween 2019

All of October we feature films just for Halloween curated by Paul Freitag-Fey with films provided by the American Genre Film Archive (AGFA)!

Blood Lake (1987)

A group of unhinged party animals, including adolescent horn-dog Lil' Tony, embark on a weekend trip filled with Jet Skis, a keg of Busch, and an extended game of quarters. But look out! There's a supernatural killer on the loose who wears cowboy boots and a silk shirt with a rose stitched on it!

Made by real-life friends from Oklahoma on a real-life vacation, BLOOD LAKE is a rewardingly lethal collision of '80s slasher video-vomit and twisted cinéma vérité madness. From false metal soundtrack hits to gratuitous scenes of people sleeping, this might be the only movie in history capable of receiving a stamp of approval from both David Lee Roth and Andy Warhol.

Runtime: 82mins
Media: Digital Projection

We would like to thank AGFA for providing the films for October.
