Tuesday, October 28 at 8:30: Introduction by series programmers Elizabeth Purchell and KJ Shepherd

“Not even an Exorcist could help!”

All hell breaks loose when John’s last-minute anniversary gift inadvertently causes his younger lover Jim to become possessed by a Sex Demon who wreaks havoc on New York’s gay cruising spots. Openly inspired by both The Exorcist and its Blaxploitation cousin, Abby, J. C. Cricket’s Sex Demon is a ferocious mix of the erotic and the grotesque that was lost for forty years until its recent rediscovery. In the words of Gay Scene critic Bruce King, “the squeamish may not want to watch, but if you do, you won’t forget it!”

Paired with a special gay erotic trailer reel assembled by the Cruising the Movies team.

Screening as part of our monthly queer series programmed and hosted by Elizabeth Purchell and KJ Shepherd, Cruising the Movies
