Devils Night – Closing Night (Hosted by Unholy Rome) 10/30

 (Virtual) (Doors open 8pm EST-11pm EST)

Every October for the last half a century, urban landscapes, especially in Detroit, are fed to the flames, an inferno of rundown factories & dilapidated homes sacrificed on this special occasion to Satan. It is known as Devil’s Night.

This Halloween w/ a special host Unholy Rome, we sacrifice our audience to 5 nights of black cinema’s more terrifying black magic, monsters, & more! Set against the backdrop of racism & an oppressive society, blurring the line between horrors black Americans faced & the fears of the unknown. Each night will feature a special curated double-feature to be watched live virtually (w/ the option to stream later) + a panel after a guests, both activists & film historians, to discuss the history that paralleled the films being played headed by Rome.

Our closing night is an explosive climax that brings a petrifying pair of portmanteau horror films! First up, this made for TV Twilight Zone-style film is narrated by the legendary spaced-out funkadelic icon George Clinton based on iconic stories by black science fiction writers! This is followed by a Spike Lee-produced masterpiece with horror stories that confront police brutality, slavery, criminal justice, & domestic violence with a panel after.

Tix are $5 per night or you buy a weekly pass for just $15! 20% of ticket sales will be split between getting sent to mutual aid to help Rome finish building his library in Detroit & we’ll be donating 10% of ours to help Talal get out of Egypt.
