#QueerHorrorNights presents a very special event at the historic Rio Cinema – our Halloween Monsters Ball: NIGHTBREED (28 OCT 22:00+).

Evolution of Horror Presents… Campfire Stories in the Yard (12 OCT 19:00) + URBAN LEGEND d. Jamie Blanks, 1998 (12 OCT 21:00) / Part of HALLOWEEN season at Genesis Cinema.

“Complete with a roaring campfire, cosy blankets and hot chocolate topped with marshmallows, join us for an evening of spooky stories in The Yard! As with our open mic nights, anyone can sign up to tell their tale but if you’d rather get spooked, just join the circle and listen!”

“Once we’re all substantially creeped out, we’ll head inside for a special screening of the solid 90s slasher URBAN LEGEND and maybe grab a themed cocktail from the bar to calm the nerves. Tickets are available to both events separately but enjoy a discounted rate when booked together. Hot chocolate, tea and marshmallows are on us!” (Genesis Cinema)

TOKEN HOMO presents a new season of BAR TRASH – TRASH PLANET – a celebration of 70s eco-horror. Tickets from £1 – Booking now!
