These have been lean times if you're interested in seeing horror movies at the Wisconsin Film Festival. Two years ago there were exactly zero of them. There's still little choice if you want to see what's currently happening in horror. But looking at the schedule for this year's festival, which takes place March 30th to April 3rd, three movies jumped out at me.
The Evil Dead
Wednesday, March 30, 8:15 pm and Thursday, March 31, 9:45 pm
Sam Raimi's 1981 original Evil Dead movie is showing at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, which is where it belongs. We watched the superior sequel at Bad Movie Night in September 2009.
Blood Hook
Thursday, March 31, 5:30 pm and Saturday, April 2, 8:45 pm
Also at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, Blood Hook AKA Muskie Madness is a 1986 horror movie directed Jim Mallon, a writer for Mystery Science Theater 3000. While we haven't watched Blood Hook at BMN (yet), we have seen MST3K episodes Laserblast, Santa Claus and The Sinister Urge.
Night Train to Terror
Thursday, March 31, 7:30 pm and Sunday, April 3, 7:15 pm
Most incredibly, they're showing Night Train to Terror, which we watched for a second time three months ago. You know what this means don't you? Cameron Mitchell has a movie at the Wisconsin Film Festival!
