WTF Film Club are back at Archive..! (hurray!)
Join us to celebrate chaotic 80s cult horror at its weirdest: farting zombies, were-cats, monkey puppets and nonsense galore.
What The Film Club is here to bring you the most entertaining curiosities of cult classics, B movies and trash cinema. Follow us here!
SPOOKIES
What do you do when you have an unfinished horror film? Hire a new director, new writer and new cast, shoot an entirely new film, then stitch everything together into one Frankenstein’s monster of an 80s cult oddity?
Welcome to Spookies.
An unlucky assortment of over-the-top characters find themselves trapped inside a “spooky” old mansion, where an evil sorcerer unleashes all kinds of bizarre creatures in an attempt to resurrect his dead bride – with the help of his loyal were-cat/cat-man/whatever-it-is.
The plot is gloriously nonsensical, the practical effects are extremely fun and the story behind the film is even crazier.
So join us at Archive Leeds, for a great atmosphere, drinks, cocktails and delicious hot food. Plus a short introduction from the What The Film Club team + a free weird prize raffle. We’ll see you there!
