Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.

In 2006 Scott Glosserman turned the slasher genre sideways with his mockumentary Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, which depicted all the slashers from the 70's and 80's as not only real but just regular guys like you and me, struggling to work and get by in the world.
The titular character, brought to life brilliantly by Nathan Baesel, won over fans and audiences throughout its festival run and subsequent home release courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment and managed to breathe new life into the long stagnant slasher subgenre as well.
Five years after Behind the Mask, co-writer and director Glosserman and his cast were on hand for Los Angeles' Weekend of Horrors 2011 and officially announced their plans for the long-awaited sequel and said that for the second installment the filmmakers would be reaching out to the very community that made Leslie Vernon into one of the very few...

Ever since a sequel was announced during the Weekend of Horrors panel this writer had the privilege of hosting alongside the crew from Scott Glosserman's Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon a few months back, we here at Dread Central have been giddy over the promise of more exploits from one of the newest iconic villains of the horror genre and seeing what happens next with those who have the misfortune of being mixed up in Leslie's twisted little world.
We recently caught up with the madman behind the mask (pun intended), Nathan Baesel, to talk about the fan-fueled and fan-funded project, the similarities between himself and Leslie Vernon and a tease of what fans can expect from the next chapter in this growing franchise.
While announcing a sequel is pretty much business as usual in the horror world, Glosserman's announcement regarding his plans for his upcoming sequel,...

During the Weekend of Horrors in Los Angeles, some exciting news was presented to fans of the surprising hit Behind the Mask regarding it's anticipated sequel. Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon , an indie film which blended horror and comedy elements, was about a young man whose dream is to be the next great psycho horror-slasher. He gives a documentary crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo, all the while deconstructing the conventions and archetypes of the horror genre for them. The film was in limited release in theaters but was a huge success at festivals and with critics. Since it's DVD release, it has received an even larger following; making it a new cult favorite.

With the Creation La Weekend of Horrors in its second day, some Really interesting news came out of the Behind the Mask reunion panel just minutes ago, and being that we were on the scene, we've got all the latest gory details on Before the Mask: The Return of Leslie Vernon.
According to director/creator Scott Glosserman, they want to do a sequel, but it is far from a certainty. The script for it picks up right at the end of the first film. Same tone, same aesthetics. Together with Behind the Mask co-writer David J. Stieve, Glosserman has found a way to continue the story of Leslie (Nathan Baesel) and Taylor (Angela Goethals) that makes sense. They've already spoken with Robert Englund to reprise his Ahab role of Doc Halloran. The filmmakers even have locations waiting, and most of the cast is in place and nailed down, but there no financiers as pf uet.
