Chills at the Chapel Halloween Film Club with Jameson Whiskey
19 October, 2009
by: Spoonfed Team
In celebration of the helping hand that film has had in shaping the way we celebrate Halloween, Jameson, the Whiskey folk are putting on four nights of horror flicks at Union Chapel, Islington. And this ain't no half baked attempt at creeping out folk in London – it's the old skool stuff. Classic horror films, plus listed building plus an interactive, downright disturbing vibe that transports you into the very world of celluloid, plus free cocktails by the way, equals your Halloween 2009. Did we mention that the whole evening is free?
An American Werewolf in London, 1981
So to the films:
Wednesday 28th October – An American Werewolf in London (1981) – A brutal attack on a Yorkshire moor kicks off this cult classic lupine adventures of an two American backpackers in London.
Thursday 29th October – Dracula (1958) – Castles, counts, dodging sunrise, stakes and impaling aplenty, cult horror of the first degree.
Friday 30th October – Colin (2008)- Possibly the most original zombie movie ever, the story of a cadaverous apocalypse is told from the zombie's perspective.
Saturday 31st October – Halloween (1978) – The little horror flick that could. This low budget, independent slasher grossed millions at the box office and continues to be a cult classic. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis as teenage babysitter Laurie.
Apply for tickets at the Jameson Cult Film Club website and arrive at Union Chapel at 6.30 to begin your Jameson Halloween film experience. Halloween isn't just about children soliciting sweets by threatening minor pranks, no! It's about Jack the Ripper tours, aimless wandering in graveyards, and scaring yourself silly. Anyone who gives Halloween more than a cursory glance will appreciate the contribution of film to this frightening festival. This Halloween, pay homage to the horror film makers who changed the world, well, changed Halloween anyhow.
