Demons (1985) – Terror Tuesday Introduction by Zack Carlson from Blake on Vimeo.

Here we are with my first ever video recording of Zack Carlson introducing a film for his Terror Tuesday program at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz here in Austin, Texas. The videos from here on out that I record won’t start off so silly!

So here we go without further pause I present Zack Carlson introducing the 1985 zombie horror film Demons from Lamberto Bava at the Ritz on January 13, 2009. I met Lamberto Bava last year at NIFFF and he seemed like a really nice person with lots of great stories to tell.

This is incredibly well realized and equally frightening Japanese poster art for the 1985 Lamberto Bava cult horror hit, Demons (Demoni).

This particular “person” and scene in the movie always work to effectively creep me out.

As for the eventual home video availability of this film you can read my interviews with Dario Argento (read here) and Bill Lustig (read here) where I ask them both this very question…
