House of Blood – 6:00 pm

In Sarasota, Florida, a masked madman is on the loose—snatching women to feed his vile cravings. The city trembles as two hard-boiled detectives dive headfirst into his blood-soaked underworld, putting their necks on the line to stop the slaughter. Starring Peter Hooten, Marvel’s original Doctor Strange.

The screening will be followed by a live panel discussion with director John Rusnak; actress Jade Lorraine; and co-producer / editor (and uncredited actor who plays the masked killer) Chris Colgate.

Sorority of the Damned – 9:15 pm

Trevor Harmony is an inept handyman who discovers his family’s lineage is far more than he suspected. Now he must step into action and save four unsuspecting sorority girls from being consumed by pure evil and stop them from destroying the world.

The screening will be followed by a live panel discussion with writer/director/actor Joe Davison (Stranger Things, 100 Tears).

Admission to this 18+ event is FREE, but reservations are required at https://tampatheatre.org/movie-categories/nightmare/
