Jacks Lantern present their first horror community cinema screening: John Carpenter's acclaimed 1994 film In the Mouth of Madness at the Quays Hotel in Sheffield's Victoria Quays.
Sutter Cane is the best-selling author whose newest novel is literally driving readers insane. When he inexplicably vanishes, his publisher sends special investigator John Trent (Sam Neill) to track him down. Drawn to a town that exists only in Cane's books, Trent crosses the barrier between fact and fiction and enters a terrifying world from which there is no escape.
Inspired by the tales of H.P. Lovecraft, this shocking story is, in the words of its acclaimed director John Carpenter, "horror beyond description".
Informally, the film is the third instalment in Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy, preceded by The Thing and Prince of Darkness, asking the question – is it real or is it madness?
This film screening will be fully captioned/subtitled.
There will also be a horror themed raffle with fun prizes, and artwork and other horror-themed items for sale. The hotel bar will be open.
Doors open 6:30pm, film starts 7:30pm.
