Written by Dario Argento and director Lamberto Bava, DEMONS 2 (DÈMONI 2: L’INCUBO RITORNA) will be screening on Saturday night at the Museum of Arts & Design as part of “Zombo Italiano: The Italian Zombie Film Movement, 1972-1985.” (The first DEMONS film will be shown Friday night, July 23, at 7:00.) A sweet sixteen party goes terribly wrong in this loud, bloody film, which stars David Edwin Knight, Nancy Brilli, Asia Argento, and Coralina Cataldi-Tassoni. Tickets are $10, but you’ll save three bucks at the door if you come in a zombie costume or just happen to be a zombie yourself. Cataldi-Tassoni will introduce the screening and participate in a Q&A afterward. And for even more of the actress/artist, be sure to check out her latest exhibit, “Smart Innocence,” on view at the Tuscan Mexican restaurant Matilda on East Eleventh St. through September 30. “Zombo Italiano” concludes on July 29 with a rare presentation of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1969 flesh-eater, PIGSTY (PORCILE).
