Show will begin at 6pm on Saturday, January 13th and can be paired as a double feature with our screening of The Thing ('82) at 8pm.

John Carpenter, director of Halloween, The Fog, and Escape From New York, continues his phenomenal string of hits with The Thing, a new version of the classic horror thriller starring Kurt Russell. It's set in the winter of 1982 at a research station in Antarctica where
a twelve man research team finds an alien being that has fallen from the sky and has remained buried in the snow for over 100,000 years. Soon it is unfrozen and unleashed, creating havoc and terror as it changes forms and becomes one of them. Put this frightening story together with outstanding per- formances, incredible special effects by Roy Arbogast, makeup by Rob Bottin, and special visual effects by master Albert Whitlock and you've got a movie that Time Magazine describes as "Horrific".
Show will begin at 8pm on Saturday, January 13th and can be paired as a double feature with The Found Footage Festival playing before this feature at 6pm.
VIP SEATING is limited and includes preferred front row seating on plush couches, drink and dining service and a Crypt Video Con gift bag!
More graphically-realistic than ever —"THE BLOB" has returned in this horrific tale about a vile, malignant life form that crashes to earth in a cozy, rural American town called Arborville. Untroubled by conscience or intellect, the Blob does only one thing — and does it well. It eats anything and everything that moves... men, women, children. And tonight
it wants to swallow Arborville whole. The original version of "The Blob" thrilled and terrified audiences back in the 50's. Now the oozing, gooey killer is back with a whole new high-tech 80's look. What was once only suggested now comes to lite in this visually gut-wrenching thriller in the tradition of such classic remakes as "The Thing" and "The Fly".
Show will begin at 6pm on Sunday, January 14th as a single feature to end the con.
VIP SEATING is limited and includes preferred front row seating on plush couches, drink and dining service and a Crypt Video Con gift bag!
