Film Screams: The Marathon

I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Wicker Man — Final Cut, Evil Dead II

277 min

Long thought dead, our recurring Film Screams series is resurrected in yet another form — perhaps its most chilling yet. Join us, if you dare, on Halloween for a horror movie marathon.

I Know What You Did Last Summer

Dir. Jim Gillespie — USA — 101 min — R — 1997

Jennifer Love Hewitt (from TV's "Party of Five") and Sarah Michelle Gellar (Scream 2) star with Freddie Prinze, Jr., Ryan Phillippe, and Johnny Galecki in this terrifying tale of a body that just won't stay dead. After an accident on a winding road, four teens make the fatal mistake of dumping their victim's body into the sea. But exactly one year later, the dead man returns from his watery grave, and he's looking for more than an apology. From the writer of Scream.

The Wicker Man — The Final Cut

Dir. Robin Hardy — UK — 92 min — 1973

After receiving an anonymous letter about a missing 12-year-old girl, devoutly Christian Police Sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) travels by seaplane to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But the islanders welcome neither his badge nor religious devotion, for Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee) and his devoted followers worship only the pagan gods of old - and those gods demand a sacrifice. Howie fears for the missing girl's life and follows every possible lead to find her - despite the islanders' interference - before she becomes a human sacrificial lamb.

Evil Dead II

Dir. Sam Raimi — USA — 84 min — 1987

The second of three films in the Evil Dead series is part horror, part comedy, with Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) once again battling horrifying demons at a secluded cabin in the woods. After discovering an audiotape left by a college professor that contains voices reading from the Book of the Dead, Ash's girlfriend Linda (Denise Bixler) becomes possessed by evil spirits that are awakened by the voices on the tape. Ash soon discovers there is no escaping the woods.
