Attention, queers: something wicked this way comes 😈🔥🔪
On October 30th, join us for the very first edition of our new quarterly sidebar series: Queer Cinema Club After Dark!
Hosted by Kevin Greenspan, QCCAD will showcase horror and genre films that elevate queerness beyond subtext and give us the gay goods up front. And in the spirit of Halloween, we’ve got something special lined up for our inaugural screening…
The place: West Hollywood. The year: 2004. And if that wasn’t scary enough already, a mysterious, devil-masked muscle daddy is on the loose, slicing his way through WeHo's Gay Halloween festivities. This is HELLBENT, a hidden gem that’s been dubbed the first true gay slasher – and a sexually liberated milestone of queer representation in horror.
Never before screened theatrically in Toronto, Hellbent will grace the Paradise for one night only on October 30th – Devil’s Night – at 9:15pm. Tickets available here. Poster by Kevin Greenspan.
