Special EventsVideo Hoarder Presents... THE NIGHT TURKEY (1973) — THEATRICAL PREMIERE!Thursday, November 19, 2026 at 5:30 PM
JUST IN TIME FOR TURKEY DAY... A GIANT WERE-TURKEY RUNS AMOK!
Gobble gobble! Join us for the FIRST-EVER theatrical screening of William Malone's THE NIGHT TURKEY (1973), a long-lost artifact from the very first wave of shot-on-video (SOV) filmmaking, finally making its big-screen debut after more than 50 years!
Follow intrepid reporter Karl Kornchek as he stalks a monstrous WereTurkey through the black-and-white, monster-filled streets of 1970s Los Angeles! A hilarious homemade riff on the classic TV movie KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER (1972), THE NIGHT TURKEY is an outrageous early effort from director William Malone (CREATURE, FEARDOTCOM).
Shot on a Sony AV-3400 portable video recorder, this wonderfully bizarre oddity also features early special effects work from legendary makeup artist Rick Baker (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, THE FUNHOUSE)!
Long thought lost, THE NIGHT TURKEY has finally resurfaced, and we're bringing it to the big screen for the very first time! Director William Malone will also introduce the film with a special pre recorded introduction before the screening! Don't miss what may be your only chance to experience this spooky, silly, turkey-fueled treasure in a theater!
