[SCREENING] Scary movie season doesn’t necessarily end on Halloween. Some might say that’s just the beginning. And we haven’t moved into full-blown Christmas movie season yet, so why not a few more horror gems? Thursday Night Terrors, the horror movie series at the Amherst Dipson, continues the season with a screening of Phantasm II on Thursday, November 17. “If you haven’t seen the first film, don’t worry—you’ll be brought up to speed by flashbacks, voiceovers, and all kinds of exposition,” says organizer Peter Vullo. As far as noteworthy sequels go, Vullo puts it up there with Halloween II, and Evil Dead 2. The film, directed by Don Coscarelli was released in 1988. As far as what to expect from the movie Vullo lists “Explosions, countless killer dwarves, a hearse, coffins, graveyards, three flying blood-sucking silver spheres of death, more explosions…it goes on and on.”
