The Big Fright Night Double Bill
AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON
A couple of American hitch-hikers decide to explore the Yorkshire moors… thus begins one of the greatest horror movies of all time. Sly, witty and nostalgic, John Landis’s film redefined the werewolf movie in the 1980s. The macabre special effects still look extraordinary (Academy Award for Best Makeup). But what makes the film an enduring classic is the unexpected sense of humour he brings to the myth. A young and beautiful nurse, Jenny Agutter, conducts one of the most unlikely romances in the chequered history of the NHS. David Naughton and Griffin Dunne provide the fresh meat. Enjoy.

It wouldn’t be an INK event without a terrifyingly good short film to accompany the main feature… so meet

This marvellous horror has won over 20 film awards for the way it subverts expectations. Three American college students move into a house and discover a creepy ventriloquist doll in the attic… what could possibly go wrong? The clever comedy here is that nothing goes quite right for the would-be psycho puppet. But as ever there’s a twist…
INK is immensely grateful that J. Zachary Thurman has given permission for his film to be screened at our Fright Night special. We believe this marks the UK’s first public screening of the film.
