ERNEST DICKINSON | USA | 1995 | 92 MIN | R | ENGLISH | 35MM
PFS is teaming up with Space Melt for a creepy-crawly, Billy Zane showcase Halloweekend with TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT! A mysterious drifter (William Sadler) possesses the last of seven ancient keys—which happen to protect humanity from evil—and is on the run from a powerful and charismatic demon (Zane). They find themselves holed up in a New Mexico boarding house, populated by ‘90s character actors, including a young Jada Pinkett. Panned upon release, we think DEMON KNIGHT deserves a second chance; it’s a horror comedy that would make Sam Raimi blush.
