Wednesday August 24th, 4pm – Warlords of Atlantis (1978)

Friday August 26th, 11pm – From the Dark (2014)

Irish scares from Stitches director Conor McMahon. A couple are stranded in dark rural area and are stalked by a creature that doesn’t like the light.

Sunday August 14th, 9pm – 12.50am The Vintage Vault

Legend continues to celebrate the Golden Age of genre cinema with a season of double bills. This week, there are a pair of superb gory shockers starting with John Carpenter’s shape-shifting alien classic The Thing (1982), starring Kurt Russell. This is followed by some David Cronenberg’s body horror in Videodrome (1983), in which TV producer James Woods discovers an underground show that alters his reality.
