Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Town That Dreaded Sundown: Horror Month At The Colonial Theatre

PHOENIXVILLE, PA -- Phoenixville's Colonial Theatre will be showing several cult horror classics this October.

• Ben Johnson is a tough Texas Ranger tasked with tracking down a masked murderer preying on young couples. Eerie and atmospheric, it's a step above typical slasher fare thanks to itscast, post-WWII setting, and documentary-style storytelling. A 1976 drive-in favorite inspired by actual events. Rated R. 90 min. Rolling the 35mm.

• Kevin Tenney's 1988 box office smash is a late-night cinema snack of gory proportions. A bunch of teens throwing a raunchy Halloween bash at an abandoned funeral home. Things quickly go tragically and graphically wrong. Rated R. 90 min. This 35mm print is courtesy of Exhumed Films.

• It'll thrill you, chill you, and fulfill you! RHPS returns to the Colonial’s screen and stage, complete with costume contest, full shadow cast, and prop bags ($5) of everything you'll need to participate.

Sweet digital presentation sponsored by Your Earth Angel.

• After hyper-muscular mamma's boy Tony is recklessly run down by the town's rich punk kids, he's resurrected as a voodoo zombie hell-bent on revenge!
