Join us for JamesRiverFilm@VisArts Third Thursdays’ Halloween Horror Showcase featuring the short film "Pickman’s Model" (dir: Giovanni Furore, 30 min., 2007, in Italian with English subtitles) based on H.P. Lovecraft’s short story by the same name, written in 1926 and first published in the October 1927 issue of "Weird Tales."

The main feature of the evening is the 1988 cult classic, "Pumpkinhead" (86 min.), starring Lance Henriksen ("Millennium," "Near Dark," "Aliens") and directed by master visual effects artist Stan Winston, a Richmond native! Actual "Pumpkinhead" props will be on display, provided by horror film historian Doc Gillespie of Goblin Market in Hollywood and Diabolik.
