Sunday Night Scares on IFC!

Not quite ready to close your own weekend drive-in. Tune to IFC for a pretty cool double feature.


Underrated western vampire flick "Near Dark" kicks things off at 5:45 p.m. (CST). This cinematic bloodbath is pretty much the anti-"Twilight." A group of roving vamps travel to small towns in a sun-proof van for feeding frenzies and fun. Along the way, they turn unsuspecting farm kid Caleb (Adrian Pasdar) into a blood sucker. The gang includes "Aliens" stars Jenette Goldstein, Bill Paxton (now the star of HBO's "Big Love") and Lance Henriksen. It also stars B-movie king Tim Thomerson. It's directed by Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow.


Next up is Brian DePalma's classic "Carrie" at 7:45 p.m. Sissy Spacek plays the telekinetically gifted and socially awkward title character. She's treated terribly by her nutcase mom (Piper Laurie) and even worse by her high school classmates (including John Travolta and William "Greatest American Hero" Katt).
