Secret Vault of Terror
Pre-Code Horror Triple FeatureOctober 29, 2024
Grand Illusion CinemaSeattle, WA
Part of the Grand Illusion’s annual All Monsters Attack! series
A secret triple bill of twisted pre-Code horror classics plus period shorts — all on 16mm and in less than four hours!
From the infernal depths of their secret film vault, The Sprocket Society has exhumed three of the most infamous horror movies of their time. Journey into a depraved nightmare of brutality, murder and perversion, early 1930s Hollywood style.
These short and sick tales of transgression were once censored in Seattle and, even after 90 years, still shock today. Witness the unspeakable cruelty of dangerous lunatics! A slum-dwelling mad scientist! An incestuous necrophiliac Satanist! A sadistic power-crazed genius and his sex-crazed offspring! Spooky shorts and cartoons from the same era will precede each feature.
You will be scarred forever, for there is no escape from…the Secret Vault of Terror!
“A truly horrible and nauseating bit of extreme sadism.” – Variety
“One of the most shocking instances of violence in early sound cinema.” – Stephen Prince, Classical Film Violence
“Unbridled, salacious, subversive, and just plain bizarre.” – Thomas Doherty, Pre-Code Hollywood
