About Horror Express

Directed by Eugenio Martín, Horror Express is a 1972 science fiction horror film starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, with Alberto de Mendoza, Silvia Tortosa, Julio Peña, George Rigaud, Ángel del Pozo and Telly Savalas in supporting roles.

Set in 1906, British anthropologist Professor Sir Alexander Saxton (Christopher Lee) is returning to Europe by the Trans-Siberian Express from Shanghai to Moscow. Also on the train is a crate containing the frozen remains of a primitive humanoid that he discovered in a cave in Northeast China, which he’s keeping a secret, as he hopes it’s a missing link in human evolution. One by one, various staff and passengers onboard are stalked and killed – and Saxton and friendly rival Doctor Wells (Peter Cushing) discover that the killer is an alien intelligence inhabiting the primitive humanoid.

About See-Scape

The movie will be shown at See-Scape, a sci-fi, cyber punk-themed bar and café featuring an amazing menu, with bar service on two floors. Killer B movie screenings are on the second floor. The second-floor bar is open during the event and is cash only. Debit/credit purchases are available at the main floor bar.
