Buckle up, freaks.
Monster Fest Weekender is back and this time we’re taking the scenic route straight to hell. From killer cars and horrific hitchhikers to repugnant rest stops and satanic sightseers, HIGHWAY TO HELL is a full-throttle journey through the dark side of the open road. Join us for an eight-film descent into pure roadside terror from Friday 4 September to Sunday 6 September. So fill up your tank, prep your playlist, sit down, strap in and keep your eyes on the road, because the Highway to Hell is open.
FRIDAY: The Monster Fest Weekender roars to life with George Miller’s post-apocalyptic masterpiece MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR (1981) at 7pm, before the chaos shifts south of the border with Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s blood-soaked vampire classic FROM DUSK TILL DAWN (1996) at 9pm.
SATURDAY: Saturday cranks the terror into overdrive with the satanic panic paranoia of RACE WITH THE DEVIL (1975) at 4:30pm, followed by the chainsaw carnage of LEATHERFACE: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III (1990) at 7pm, before Alexandre Aja’s savage remake of THE HILLS HAVE EYES (2006) tears the roof off at 9pm.
SUNDAY: We wrap up the festival on Sunday with John Carpenter’s killer-car classic CHRISTINE (1983) at 2pm, the ghostly turbo-charged revenge of THE WRAITH (1986) at 4:30pm, and end things with a bang with Robert Harmon’s relentless highway nightmare THE HITCHER (1986) at 7pm.
