Join us Saturday June 22 as Knoxville Horror Film Fest and FrightWorks Haunted House present their annual “Terror In The Woods” double feature & haunted trail, hosted by Ijams Nature Center as part of their Movies Under The Stars outdoor screening series! This year’s event spotlights two blood-sucking favorites we didn’t have room for in last October’s “Vampires” film series at Central Cinema… the fun starts when the sun goes down!

FRIGHT NIGHT (1985) | Teenage Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) is a horror-film junkie, so it’s no surprise that when a reclusive new neighbor (Chris Sarandon) moves in next door, Brewster becomes convinced he’s a vampire. It’s also no surprise when nobody believes him. After strange events begin to occur, Charlie has no choice but to turn to the only person who could possibly help: washed-up television vampire killer Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowell).

30 DAYS OF NIGHT (2007) | In the far Northern Hemisphere, the small town of Barrow, Alaska, experiences a solid month of darkness every year. Though most of the residents head south for the winter, some townspeople remain behind. However, those that stay regret their decision when, one year, hungry vampires descend on Barrow to feed. Sheriff Eben (Josh Hartnett), his wife (Melissa George) and a dwindling band of survivors must try to last until dawn breaks over Barrow’s monthlong twilight.
