Our friends from Oshkosh Horror in Wisconsin are back with another House of Horrors and as always they have lined up a couple of great flicks. They are presenting The Fog and The Mist… and its FREE!!
Along with this, they have brought back the Friday Night Fright with more FREE movies on the way screening at the Time Community Theater in downtown Oshkosh! Everything is free but donations are always accepted as all of the money goes towards renovating the theater. Oshkosh Horror has a great thing going with bringing these movies and other events to an otherwise quiet town! Bring on the madness Pata!! More info from them below…
When March rolls around, we know that spring is on it’s way. The winter months get long with all the snow and cold, so the change in the weather is welcomed. Aside from temperatures warming up and the snow start to disappear, the weather can also be a little foggy, a little misty and… Wait a minute! Foggy? Misty? That sounds like a great idea for March’s House of Horrors!
Starting out the night will be John Carpenter’s The Fog, which marks the fourth Carpenter film shown at House of Horrors, but considering his catalog, can you blame us? The Centenary of the small sea town, Antonio Bay, is approaching. While the townsfolk prepare to celebrate, the victims of the crime that founded the town rise from the sea to claim retribution. Under cover of the fog, they carry out their vicious attacks, searching for what is rightly theirs. Featuring a great cast of Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins, Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh and Halbrook, The Fog is a terrific telling of a classic ghost story.
Starting his film career as a co-writer of A Nightmare on Elm St. 3: Dream Warriors, The Blob and The Fly II, Frank Darabont finally directed his first horror feature in 2007 with The Mist, based on the novel by Stephen King. After a violent storm attacks a town in Maine, an approaching cloud of mist appears the next morning. As the mist quickly envelops the area, a group of people get trapped in a local grocery store. The people soon discover that within the mist lives numerous species of horrific, unworldly creatures. As the world around them manifests into a literal hell-on-earth, the horrified citizens try desperately to survive this apocalyptic disaster. We will be showing The Mist in black and white, the way Darabont wanted to release the film but the studios said otherwise.
Be sure to check out the trailers below and mark your calendars. As always, House of Horrors is free and open to the public, so bring your friends!

FRIDAY NIGHT FRIGHT!!
Friday Fright Night, the bi-weekly celebration of 1950’s and 60’s B-movies, debuted in April 2010 at the Time Community Theater, and with the help of so many outstanding attendees became a huge success! Through the 14 weeks of films, we were able to raise over $3,000 for the Time and not only that, but met a lot of great people and had a blast with the “classics” of yesteryear. With Friday Fright Night being such a success, we’d be crazy not to bring it back, right? Well, we are excited to announce the return of the one, the only… Fright Fright Night!
The 2011 season will be kicking off at 8PM on Friday, April 1 (no joke) with The Terror, directed by Roger Corman and starting Boris Karloff, Jack Nicholson and Dick Miller. Friday Fright Night will be taking over the Time Community Theater once again, located at 445 N. Main St. in Downtown Oshkosh. And the best part is that ALL the movies are still FREE!!! We have tons of free stuff planned this year so be sure to mark your
calendars!
