Last year, Bride of Music Box of Horrors descended upon Chicago's ravenous horror community. And let's just say things got interesting…in the 9+ months since we last convened to worship the dark lords and celebrate their debaucherous malevolence, we've welcomed a deranged new member of the family. This year we proudly present what is perhaps our most wicked and unholy creation, MUSIC BOX OF HORRORS: THE DREAM CHILD! Just as its namesake suggests, things will get darker, weirder, nastier, and more horrifying than ever as we celebrate the birth of this child, whose penchant for mining every possible corner of horror will satiate and shock even the most jaded amongst us.
10 film pass - $72 GA / $60 MBT Member (redeemable for all films except R.L. Stine: A Master of Modern Horror on October 9th and our 24-hour marathon on October 19th)
