MUBI presents: URBAN LEGENDS
“Urban Legend” (n.): an often lurid story or anecdote that is based on hearsay and widely circulated as true.
This October, we present a series of terrifying tall tales complete with boogeymen, creepy cults and a possessed videotape. So the question is: which of these urban legends frighten you the most?
It’s no tall tale: sign up for a free 30 day trial with MUBI at mubi.com/nitehawk.
