Blackwood Falls is a Texas town where faith, family, and community reign supreme - until recently married outsiders Richard and Samantha unwittingly disrupt the fragile tranquility. The beautiful Samantha draws the watchful gaze of restless high school boys, leading to a fateful encounter that plunges the couple into tragedy. A shocking act of violence creates unimaginable loss and leads to a wave of ritualistic attacks that threatens to release the small town’s secrets. The killings evoke hooded specters, flaming visions, and unholy judgments that force residents to question their own complicity. Paranoia spreads like wildfire: are these acts divine retribution, demonic forces, or something more human? Their descent into confusion and terror uncovers layers of hypocrisy beneath the community’s pious exterior, building to a confrontation that tests the limits of vengeance and redemption. Followed by a Q&A with the writer/director Craig Meinhart and some cast!

When a séance unleashes demonic forces hidden within the building, the celebration quickly turns into a nightmare as the guests are possessed one by one. With nowhere to run and evil lurking around every corner, the few remaining survivors discover that getting into Hull House was easy…getting out may be impossible.

Presented by The Spooky Picture Show Written and directed by Wes Craven Starring Brandon Quintin Adams, Everett McGill, Wendy Robie, and Ving Rhames. In every neighborhood, there's that one house everyone avoids… And we’re going inside. When a young boy known as Fool breaks into the home of his wealthy landlords hoping to find enough money to save his family from eviction, he discovers something far more disturbing hidden behind its walls. Beneath the surface of an ordinary suburban house lurks a labyrinth of secret passages, imprisoned children, and a pair of deeply unhinged homeowners who guard their secrets with deadly determination. Equal parts horror, dark comedy, and social satire, THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS remains one of director Wes Craven's most inventive and underrated films. Wild, funny, suspenseful, and surprisingly sharp, THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS is the kind of movie only Wes Craven could make. One minute you'll be laughing, the next you'll be hiding behind your popcorn, and before it's over you'll be wondering how this film isn't discussed alongside his most celebrated classics.
