Scary Movies XII

This month, horror movie fans can step out of the hot city streets and into the cool air of Lincoln Square's local independent and foreign cinema landscape at Film at Lincoln Center for a special and scary series. From Friday, August 16 through Wednesday, August 21, join Film at Lincoln Center for the 12th edition of Scary Movies, New York City's top horror festival. Bringing you the genre's best from around the globe, Scary Movies, which returns as a summer series for the third year, offers moviegoers the increasingly rare, cathartic treat of experiencing the exhilaration of suspense, thrills, and gore on the big screen as part of an audience. This year's week of hair-raising premieres and rediscoveries features specially themed double bills, Q&As, and exciting opening and closing night premieres--all of which will have you watching the screen from behind your fingers. Click here to see the line-up for Scary Movies.
