FACETS: Cold Sweat

FACETS’ new monthly COLD SWEAT series dives deep into the unnerving world of horror and cult cinema with unexpected, visceral double features designed to raise the hair on the back of your neck and make your lip quiver.

Each month, we’ll present a meticulously curated pair of films that push the boundaries of fear, blending classic chills with fresh, innovative scares. But this series isn’t just about the fright—it’s a journey into the psychology and physiology of horror. Why do we willingly subject ourselves to fear-inducing experiences? What is it about the adrenaline rush and the shivers that keeps us coming back for more? COLD SWEAT delves into these questions, exploring the complex relationship between our physical reactions and emotional responses when watching terrifying films. 

Upcoming Double Features:

eXistenZ + St. John's Wort (Fri. January 17 @ 7pm & 9pm)

Possession + Tokyo Fist (Fri. February 21 @ 7pm & 9:30pm)

The Skin I Live In + May (Fri. March 21 @ 7pm & 9:30pm)

COLD SWEAT is programmed by Nick Edelberg, FACETS’ Program Operations Manager and Emma Greenleaf, FACETS’ Marketing Manager.
