Devils Night – Opening Night (Hosted by Unholy Rome) 10/26

 (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.

Opening night’s movies are focused on the Prince Of Darkness through the lens of horror noire, w/ the 1st & most successful studio film w/ a black lead as the titular character Dracula, followed up with an underground arthouse classic about a couple & a cursed dagger that turns them into bloodsuckers, using black folklore to give a fascinating transformation of the classic mythos.

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.
