I am perhaps in a rather small minority who considers the Argento/Bava picture ‘Demons’ to belong in the Zombie film subgenre, although many of the classic Anti-Zombie tropes are present in ‘Demons’, which is also a highly stylish and atmospheric film (not uncommon in Euro-Zom movies) and relatively coherent (far less common).

The series is well known to the horror aficionado crowd here in America but far, far less known to the general public, so I thought the ZRC blog should note an upcoming double feature of the first two Demons films in, alas, faraway Texas:

Blood Thirsty Thursdays presents: Dario Argento & Lamberto Bava’s DEMONS!!!

A Demon Masquerade Party you won’t soon forget…or survive!

Don’t miss our Blood Thirsty Thursday showing of Demons and Demons 2 at The Woodlawn Theatre on July 28. Opening act: The Sandworms! ABSOLUTELY NO ONE UNDER 17 ADMITTED!

Now I’m not sure the tone suggested by the all caps and multiple exclamation points is quite what the ZRC would intend, namely a sober and serious minded critical appreciation of an Anti-Zombie/Anti-Demon film with historical import, but nevertheless, it is an opportunity to see the movies as intended, on a big screen.

Just making our readers aware of the opportunity.
