This October, the Quad Cinema invites you to 7 Nights of Terror! A descent into a world of chaos and unimaginable scares. Seven films that will erode your trust in everything: our bodies, our minds, our homes, and even our sense of self.
In Carrie, what starts as teenage shame grows into deep psychological and literal damage. Body Snatchers breaks down identity, replacing the people you know and love with something unsettlingly empty. Poltergeist destroys the safety of one’s home, turning it into a gateway to hell. In Dream Warriors, even sleep isn’t safe, as Freddy Krueger becomes the agent of trauma and fear. Cure slowly invades the mind like poison, turning suggestion into murder with shocking ease. The Hills Have Eyes drags civilization and familial comfort into the desert and rips it apart. In Opera, obsession twists art into horror, and the act of looking becomes violent. In these films, one by one, the foundations of civilized society begin to break. Creeping and inescapable, these films don’t scream, they wait. Inside the walls, behind the eyes, beneath the skin. Terror is everywhere!
