Screening as part of NWFearFest Retro ’80s Slasher Night

An unknown killer stalks a small California town; clad in World War II U.S. Army fatigues hellbent on re-living a 35-year-old double murder—by focusing on a group of college kids holding an annual graduation dance. While not nearly as well known as classic slashers such as Friday the 13th or My Bloody Valentine, Joseph Zito's THE PROWLER is, hands down, one of the absolute best slasher movies ever made.

Suspenseful and scary as hell, with spectacular kills and groundbreaking makeup effects by Tom Savini (who turned down Friday the 13th Part II to do this film!), THE PROWLER is an absolute must-see.

18+ - Frequent gory violence, coarse language, nudity.

*Patrons under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
