Movies Under The Stars: Terror In The Woods Double Feature
This year’s MOVIES UNDER THE STARS outdoor screening series at Ijams Nature Center continues Saturday, June 28 with our annual Knoxville Horror Film Fest Terror In The Woods double bill, featuring 90s horror classics I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and CANDYMAN plus a haunted trail attraction from Maryville’s Tennessee Terror.
I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER (1997) • A year after running over a fisherman and dumping his body in the water, four friends reconvene when Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt) receives a frightening letter telling her that their crime was seen. While pursuing who he thinks is responsible for the letter, Barry (Ryan Phillippe) is run over by a man with a meat hook. The bloodletting only increases from there, as the killer with the hook continues to stalk Julie, Helen (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.).
CANDYMAN (1992) • Skeptical graduate student Helen Lyle (Virginia Madsen) befriends Anne-Marie McCoy (Vanessa Williams) while researching superstitions in a housing project on Chicago’s Near North Side. From Anne-Marie, Helen learns about the Candyman (Tony Todd), a knife-wielding figure of urban legend that some of her neighbors believe to be responsible for a recent murder. After a mysterious man matching the Candyman’s description begins stalking her, Helen comes to fear that the legend may be all too real.
Please note this event takes place on the lawn outside the Ijams Visitor Center, NOT at Central Cinema! Gates open at 7pm and the movie will start at sundown, giving you plenty of time to take advantage of food trucks, a beer tent and the expanse of trails & exhibits that make Ijams Nature Center such a treasure. Tickets for this special expanded event are just $20 per person; please bring a chair/blanket (and a leash for pups!) but no coolers or outside alcohol.
