In celebration of their dual 10-year anniversaries, Brooklyn Horror Film Festival and The Flushing Remonstrance will present an exciting night of surrealist horror! This special live score event features a rare opportunity to see Clive Barker’s early experimental horror shorts The Forbidden and Salome on the big screen. These raw first films demonstrate a striking foreshadowing as they establish many of Barker’s hallmarks to come in his later work, most specifically Hellraiser. Filling out the program is the revelatory surrealist body horror classic, Un Chien Andalou.

Clive Barker has personally authorized The Flushing Remonstrance to create the first-ever score for The Forbidden, as well as their all-new score for Salome. This is the world premiere performance for both scores.

Starring: Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Teri Hatcher, Jack Palance, Brion James, James Hong

Police officers Ray Tango (Sylvester Stallone) and Gabe Cash (Kurt Russell) are narcotics experts working to bring down drug lord Yves Perret (Jack Palance). In an attempt to stymie their efforts, Perret sets up Tango and Cash, making it look as if they’ve killed an FBI agent. Arrested and put in prison, the two cops formulate an escape plan and, once out, team up with Tango’s exotic dancer sister, Katherine (Teri Hatcher), in order to clear their records and take down Perret once and for all.

Starring: James Darren, Barbara McNair, Maria Rohm, Klaus Kinski

Upon his death in 2013 at the age of 82, writer/director Jess Franco – hailed by The Guardian as “a dedicated exponent of weird sex, shocking sadism and surreal horror, and one of the cinema’s great individualists” – left an astonishing legacy of over 180 films that Sight & Sound says “occupy a liminal terrain between exploitation cinema and the avant-garde, playing with the porous structure of dream and nightmare, indeed the nature of reality itself.”

Violated and left for dead, a young woman’s vengeful spirit traverses space and time to seek retribution against her cold-blooded killers, a sinister group of libertines led by Klaus Kinski. Attempting to discover the truth behind her resurrection, a young jazz player begins to fall for this revenge-seeking specter, with the hope he doesn’t befall a similar fate as her and her murderers.

Rising from the psychedelic shadows of the late 60’s, Venus in Furs appeared to fit right alongside certain dosed AIP titles like The Trip and Psych-Out; however, the filmmaker’s mad vision stretched beyond the groovy bounds of those films, and emerged as a definitive statement for exploitation cinema at large. Utilizing an array of kaleidoscopic visuals and a blistering score, Venus in Furs provides the perfect gateway into the world of Jess Franco.

Starring: Betsey Brown, Jane Brown, Ron Brown, Chloe Cherry, Dasha Nekrasova
