It’s John Carpenter night this month as the Carolina Theatre in Durham kicks off the new season of Retrofantasma with a bang! That’s right, this Friday, Retrofantasma will play a killer double feature of John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness and Dark Star! Long time Carpenter fans know that Dark Star was Carpenter’s feature film directorial debut and Prince of Darkness is the second in his “Apocalypse Trilogy” which started with John Carpenter’s The Thing and concluded with In The Mouth of Madness.
It’s also worth noting that there are always great door prizes given away at Retrofantasma and this week Mutantville.com is donating a vintage copy of Fangoria #69 featuring John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness right on the cover! So come join the fun this Friday as these classic Carpenter films play in 35mm. Grab your beer and popcorn and kick back for a night of organized chaos at Retrofantasma.
