05/31/2026 Jeepers Creepers (2001) and Cabin Fever (2002)

First up, at 8PM, we join brother and sister duo Trish and Darry on their drive home from college for spring break in rural Florida, passing the time making words from the license plates they spot. The tone shifts when, amidst their game, they must combat an aggressive albeit mysterious driver donning a license entitled “BEATNGU” that puts a whole new meaning to the term ‘road rage’. But something more sinister is at play when they discover the stranger dumping bodies into a drain pipe near an abandoned church, their curiosity swelling until they stumble into its formidable House of Pain. Before long, the Jenner siblings find themselves being stalked by an entity known only as ‘The Creeper’, a grotesque creature that harvests human organs in order to sustain itself- and who has taken quite a liking to Darry. “Every 23 years, for 23 days, it gets to eat.” 
Loosely inspired by true crime case of Dennis DePue and filmed in desolate Central Florida, JEEPERS CREEPERS (2001) unleashes an unforgettable antagonist in a simplistic yet effective display of rampant terror to chill viewers to the bone. This film marks Justin Long’s first flirtation with the horror genre, where he would later grow into his moniker amidst a rare breed of “Scream Kings”, normalizing the damsel in distress archetype for men in the process, successfully subverting the trope of traditional gender roles in horror cinema, with Gina Philips’s Trish assuming the role more commonly bestowed to her male counterparts.
Besides the phenomenal performances from the aforementioned, Jonathan Brock embodies the Creeper beyond the fantastic special effects makeup, churning out an uncanny presence of inhuman origin.
Come out to see his latest catalogue of fright, but be careful before you become his next meal. 

Then, at 10PM, accompany a group of college students for their spring getaway to a remote cabin in the North Carolina wilderness. 
Apart from the oddball inhabitants of the small town, things appear to be going smoothly until one of the friends mistakenly shoots a hermit, already disfigured from a grueling blood infection reminiscent of necrotizing fasciitis (flesh-eating disease) he contracted earlier from contact with his deceased dog’s remains, returning later in the night in a cry for help. The altercation escalates in his death, but not before he has contaminated a couple members of the party- as well as accidentally polluting the water supply- setting in motion an onslaught of causalities from the contagion, mangling the afflicted in the most grotesque of manners. 
CABIN FEVER (2002) serves as Hostel director Eli Roth’s first full-length feature film, reviving the grisly elements of the exploitation era of the 70s and 80s, deviating from the trend of more tame, meta based horror in the style of Scream, dominating the latter half of the 90’s. Because Roth strayed from the modern standard, many studios were uninterested in picking up his script, making the feat to release an independent grindhouse picture in the vein of Evil Dead increasingly difficult, as it was deemed not ‘in vogue’. A self-proclaimed cinephile and avid fan of the genre, Eli Roth expertly reignites the passion for splatter flicks in his familiar albeit fresh depiction of the macabre, combining backwoods terror with virulent body horror inspired by a condition Roth developed during his time at a family friend’s farm in Iceland at only 19 years old.
