About
'Unholy Rollers' (From IMDB)
Karen wants more action out of life and quits her job at
the cannery to become a skater in the roller derby. She
encounters friction from the other skaters - especially
Mickey, the current number one star of the team. Karen proves
herself a feisty competitor but refuses to be a team player.
As she skates her way to roller stardom, she incurs the
wrath of jealous team members and the owner of the team.

Theater - 155 East 3rd Street, New York, NY 10009

PARTY SLAUGHTERHOUSE: THE GAME will have it's NYC Premiere
this October 11th, and will premiere in LA Oct 23-29th and
in Philly on Oct 25th! More info on these screenings below!
Check out
the link for more info!
www.halo8.tv
In SLUMBER
PARTY SLAUGHTERHOUSE: THE GAME, audiences get the chance
to put their horror movie trivia skills to the test while
also helping a recently deceased high school geek take revenge
on his former friends. The story follows Paul Tard, a geek
killed on the eve of his high school graduation by his friends
greed. Paul's friends are throwing a graduation party with
hookers and drugs, and after dying Paul sells his soul to
a demon in exchange for the power to take revenge on his
former friends.
Structurally, SLUMBER PARTY SLAUGHTERHOUSE: THE GAME is
a trivia challenge. Whenever Paul wants to kill one of his
friends, the demon asks a horror movie trivia question and
the film dissolves to a multiple choice menu. If the audience
chooses the correct answer, Paul gets the power to kill
his ex-friend (and the friend's hooker, to tie up those
pesky loose ends); but the wrong answer will send Paul to
hell unavenged. Each "killscene" in the film is
written and directed by a different Halo-8 filmmaker and
stars actors from Halo-8 films.
This innovative feature stars Tiffany Shepis ("NIGHTMARE
MAN"), Melissa Bacelar ("PINK EYE," Lionsgate's
upcoming "SKINNED ALIVE"), Katie Nisa ("THREAT"),
and Joanna Angel (TLC's "L.A. INK," "SICK
& TWISTED HORROR"), Masuimi Max ("INLAND EMPIRE,"
"THE DEVIL'S MUSE") as well as several of the
girls of BurningAngel.com in a narrative, splatterpunk DVD-game
with scenes written and directed by numerous filmmakers
on the Halo-8 roster including Matt Pizzolo (THREAT), Joanna
Angel, Doug Sakmann ("PUNK ROCK HOLOCAUST"), Joshua
Nelson ("PINK EYE"), Ramzi Abed ("THE DEVIL'S
MUSE"), Kurly Tlapoyawa ("GIMME SKELTER"),
and Peter Hoare ("BEER THE MOVIE") and more!

films will be on-hand to chat with fans at the after-parties
and try their best to win the trivia contests.

do is provide a sense of community for its filmmakers and
fans," said Halo-8 president Matt Pizzolo. "Our
roster of artists are cinema lovers who enjoy one another's
films and love connecting directly with audience-members.
Our job is to provide a venue for those connections to take

About 'Isle of the Damned':
The notorious Cannibal movie is finally released
in North America!
Also screening Oct 17th - North American Premiere
in Baltimore – 8pm - $10
Creative Alliance – 3134 Eastern Ave, Baltimore MD 21224
In Antonello Giallo's follow up to the notorious Pleasures
of the Damned, private investigator Jack Steele is hired
by a mysterious treasure hunter to help find the lost treasure
of Marco Polo. Along for the trip is Jack's adopted son,
Billy. Their search brings them to an island off the coast
of Argentina... and into the clutches of a primitive cannibal
tribe, the Yamma Yamma.
Isle of the Damned, originally released in Italy in 1980,
brought Giallo under fire yet again by the Italian government,
who were outraged by the shocking and real scenes of primitive
tribal rituals and cannibalism portrayed in the film. The
film has been long out of print, but is presented here in
a digitally remastered form.
The screenings will include:
-Film preceded by interview with Luigi Giallo, Antonello's
son
-Message from reknowned anthropologist, Dr. Livingstine.
- In compliance with FCC regulations, a nurse will be on
staff at this public performance of Isle of the Damned in
the event of any medical emergencies brought on by the psychological
torment that this film has inflicted on previous viewers.
This film contains REAL footage of bizarre primitive rituals,
savage atrocities, and cannibalistic acts of depravity.
The restorationists of this film STRONGLY urge that those
with heart conditions, expectant mothers, and impressionable
youth NOT BE ADMITTED to the theatre.
