In compliance with FCC regulations, a nurse will be on staff at this public performance of Isle of the Damned in the event of any medical emergencies brought on by the psychological torment that this film has inflicted on previous viewers. This film contains REAL footage of bizarre primitive rituals, savage atrocities, and cannibalistic acts of depravity. The restoration team of this film STRONGLY urges that those with heart conditions, expectant mothers, and impressionable youth NOT BE ADMITTED to the theatre.

About the Films:

SLUMBER PARTY SLAUGHTERHOUSE: THE INTERACTIVE MOVIE
Audiences get the chance to put their horror movie trivia skills to the test while also helping a recently deceased high school geek take revenge on his former friends. The story follows Paul Tard, a geek killed on the eve of his high school graduation by his friends' greed. Paul's friends are throwing a graduation party with hookers and drugs. After dying Paul sells his soul to a demon in exchange for the power to take revenge on his former friends.

Structurally, SLUMBER PARTY SLAUGHTERHOUSE: THE GAME is a trivia challenge. Whenever Paul wants to kill one of his friends, the demon asks a horror movie trivia question and the film dissolves to a multiple choice menu. If the audience chooses the correct answer, Paul gets the power to kill his ex-friend (and the friend's hooker, to tie up those pesky loose ends); but the wrong answer will send Paul to hell unavenged. Each "killscene" in the film is written and directed by a different Halo-8 filmmaker and stars actors from Halo-8 films.

This innovative feature stars Tiffany Shepis ("NIGHTMARE MAN"), Melissa Bacelar ("PINK EYE," Lionsgate's upcoming "SKINNED ALIVE"), Katie Nisa ("THREAT"), and Joanna Angel (TLC's "L.A. INK," "SICK & TWISTED HORROR"), Masuimi Max ("INLAND EMPIRE," "THE DEVIL'S MUSE") as well as several of the girls of BurningAngel.com in a narrative, splatterpunk DVD-game with scenes written and directed by numerous filmmakers on the Halo-8 roster including Matt Pizzolo (THREAT), Joanna Angel, Doug Sakmann ("PUNK ROCK HOLOCAUST"), Joshua Nelson ("PINK EYE"), Ramzi Abed ("THE DEVIL'S MUSE"), Kurly Tlapoyawa ("GIMME SKELTER"), and Peter Hoare ("BEER THE MOVIE") and more!

ISLE OF THE DAMNED - Directed by Antonello Giallo
The notorious Cannibal movie is finally released in North America!

In Antonello Giallo's follow up to the notorious Pleasures of the Damned, private investigator Jack Steele is hired by a mysterious treasure hunter to help find the lost treasure of Marco Polo. Along for the trip is Jack's adopted son, Billy. Their search brings them to an island off the coast of Argentina... and into the clutches of a primitive cannibal tribe, the Yamma Yamma.

Isle of the Damned, originally released in Italy in 1980, brought Giallo under fire yet again by the Italian government, who were outraged by the shocking and real scenes of primitive tribal rituals and cannibalism portrayed in the film. The film has been long out of print, but is presented here in a digitally remastered form.
