Thrills in the cinema hall: The Horror Double Feartures return after the summer break

To bridge the time until the five-year anniversary edition of the BRUGGGORE Film Festival at the end of April 2025, the monthly Lunch Cinema Extravaganza will take place again from August 31, 2024. Two thematically appropriate horror films are shown at Cinema Excelsior Brugg every Saturday afternoon. Arachnophobes must be careful during the first edition of the scary event.

The eight-legged, no, eight-part series of events will kick off on Saturday, August 30, 2024 at 12:00 ARACHNOPHOBIA (1990, Frank Marshall) and EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS (2002, Ellory Elkayem). In both films, more or less innocent villagers deal with aggressive arachnids. Although the two classics have a comedic tone, people who are afraid of spiders are said to be warned. The eight-legged friends lurk from the kitchen cupboard to the shower cubicle and it is very certain that you will no longer enter the home cellar without a bad gut feeling. For more information about the films, visit the Double Fearture page.

The “Horror Double Fearture Lunch Cinema Extravaganza” series of events takes place annually from August to March and is organized in collaboration with Cinema Excelsior. Two content coordinated in each case Horror films are shown around lunchtime. The door opens at 11:00. The series of events is taking place for the fourth time.

Rarities and classics

For the 2024-2025 season, the BRUGGGORE team has excavated both unknown rarities and classics. By the way, the additional “r” in Fearture is not a spelling mistake, It's a word game and combines the term “double feature” (two feature films that are shown one after the other) with the word “fear.”
