For its third year of seasonal flicks to get you in the mood for Halloween, the Film Society of Lincoln Center is presenting another eclectic group of scary movies, from such genre masters as Clive Barker, Dario Argento, and Terence Fisher as well as directors who are not necessarily as well known for their horror work, including Peter Jackson and Jerzy Skolimowski (whose film THE SHOUT is one of the all-time crazy existential frightfests). You might not want to eat right before seeing many of these films, as several of them involve, well, food-related issues, from cannibalism to finger fries. The series has some fine star power, featuring such creepy and cool characters as Peter Lorre, Jennifer Connelly, Rutger Hauer, Samantha Eggar, Oliver Reed, Virginia Madsen, Alan Bates, Susannah York, Guy Pearce, Donald Pleasence, and, of course, Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. In addition, some of the writers/directors/producers will be around to introduce their work or participate in postscreening Q&As — we’re particularly psyched that John Landis will be discussing his great AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON on October 15.
