Here's this month's spooky lineup:.

Special Presentation:

Phil Tippett's Mad God: Parts 1 & 2 (26 minutes, premiere)

DIR: Phil Tippett

Legendary effects artist Tippett (Star Wars trilogy, Robocop trilogy, Jurassic Park) began work on this independent passion project in 1990. After the success of his company forced production to freeze, he resumed work in the mid-2000s. The still-ongoing results of his craft and countless hours of labor are presented here for all to see. A dark, insanely-detailed nightmare vision from an extremely talented mind, we are proud to present parts 1 & 2 of his 4-part film. To see the conclusion, we just have to wait until they are completed!
