Field Trips of Terror

Field Trip Rough

description

CUFF is teaming up with our friends at Bass Bus to take you on a ride into the unknown with our new summer screening series, FIELD TRIPS OF TERROR!

We will pick you up in the super cool Bass Bus behind the Sunnyside Safeway at 8:15pm (410 10th Street NW, directly beside the Sunnyside C-train station) and give you a ride to a super cool location where you will be welcomed with beverages, treats, music, activities and a badass movie. When the film is finished we will then shuttle you back to the Sunnyside Safeway. All of this for only $14! The ticket price will include the shuttle ride and two Big Rock beers. 

*If you do not want to join the party on the bus, you can meet at the location where admission will be by donation. 

The films and locations for the FIELD TRIPS OF TERROR are as follows:

Screening #1: Thursday, August 14th (Pick-up at 8:15PM, Film at 9:45pm)

PUMPKINHEAD (1988, Dir. Stan Winston)
When a group of teenage bikers inadvertently kill his only son, bereaved farmer Ed Harley (Lance Henriksen) seeks the powers of a backwoods witch to bring the child back to life. But instead, she invokes “The Pumpkinhead” – a monstrously clawed demon which, once reborn, answers only to Ed’s bloodlust. But as the creature wreaks unspeakable tortures on the teens, Ed confronts a horrifying secret about his connection to the beast – and realizes that he must find a way to stop its deadly mission before he becomes one with the creature forever. Scares and screams aplenty in this blood-soaked 80s classic from special effects wizard Stan Winston (Terminator 1&2, Aliens, Predator).

PSYCHO BEACH PARTY (2000, Dir. Robert Lee King)
Shaking bikinis, muscled surfers, a wanna-be surf babe with a split personality, a mom with an agenda, and a few severed body parts are just some of the problems facing Captain Monica Stark (Lauren Ambrose) when she is called to investigate a recent rash of gory Malibu murders. This wacky, hilarious, campy fusion of teenaged surfer flicks and slasher sagas is a cult classic that you won’t want to miss! Based on the 1987 off-broadway play of the same name.
