Put on your best grue, gore and Hawaiian shirt for our screening of Italian director Lucio Fulci’s eye-popping, gut-munching masterpiece! Zombie’s plot is simple – the undead run amok – but its tropical locale, inventive low budget makeup, eerie score, and ample gore have made it an exploitation classic. It also features one of the most infamous, ballsy scenes in movie history: ZOMBIE vs. SHARK!

Also, we’ve got vintage trailers, undead hula dancing contests, limbo competitions, prizes for best costume, and more!

Trivia: Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez screened a double bill of “Zombie” and the Italian giallo “Torso” to the cast of “Grindhouse” before production.
