February 20 & 21, bundle up and follow our tracks through the polar vortex to the Music Box Theatre where it's just as cold inside—because we're plunging into subzero chillers programmed by Tony Recktenwald and Edward Witt of Full Bleed for a deep freeze experience you'll never forget!

Every ticket includes a Limited Edition Pinback Button (new design each night), and every show kicks off with Giveaways donated by The ShadowboxeryCryptid Craft StudioNight NatalieGroovy Doom, and Full Bleed for the first folks who answer our trivia questions. The category is winter horror, so get ready!

Long ago, the mighty Wendigo was defeated and buried in a secret place known only to a select individual tasked with protecting this unholy ground, lest it be revived from the grave. When two arrogant hunters, Gary and Dave, stumble upon the Wendigo’s final resting place and kill its elderly protector, they unknowingly revive the ancient demon, which gorily dispatches Dave. Taking refuge with another group of hunters in a nearby cabin, the posse are set upon by all sorts of ghoulish creatures, not the least of which is the Wendigo itself. Meanwhile, a young woman named Sandy begins to experience visions telling her that she must now kill the Wendigo....

From the snowy wilds of Michigan, Tom Chaney’s Frostbiter (aka Wendigo) is a highly ambitious indie horror gem which, inexplicably, remained nearly unreleased (save for some local screenings) for the better part of a decade following its late '80s production. Featuring clever use of miniatures, highly stylized camerawork and editing, frequent gore, and loads of wintry atmosphere, this regional folk horror creature feature is sure to rip your head off!

We're also screening Iced (1989) on Friday, February 20 at 11:45pm!
