Sam Neill in "In the Mouth of Madness" at “12 Hours of Terror XIII: 13 Hours for 13 Years" at Rozz-Tox -- October 24.
Saturday, October 24, 11 a.m. - midnight
Rozz-Tox, 2108 Third Avenue, Rock Island IL
Treating fright-flick fans to a full half-day of cinematic shivers (and more than a few laughs), Rock Island's Rozz-Tox and East Moline's Death Stitch Custom Clothing + Scare Shop host the 2026 12 Hours of Terror event on October 24. The venue's 13th-annual marathon, however, is being upsized to 13 hours this year, the event boasts what Rozz-Tox promises are "some absolute bangers from the '90s and 2000s, plus a nasty '70s grindhouse to cap off the night."
After the showing of a favorite "Treehouse of Horror" episode of The Simpsons, the eight feature presentations will begin, all but the unrated Driller Killer rated R. On the schedule for 2026, and with adjoining commentary from Rozz-Tox's website:
Ticks (11:35 a.m.): A 1993 release directed by Tony Randel. "a fun summer camp creature feature staring a young Seth Green, Carlton from Fresh Prince, and genre legend Clint Howard."
Sleepwalkers (1:05 p.m.): A 1992 release directed by Mick Garris. "a Stephen King joint starring Mädchen Amick off the heels of Twin Peaks, horror-legend cameos, and some incredible 90s shapeshifting fx."
Ice Cream Man (2:40 p.m.): A 1995 release directed by Paul Norman. "another fantastic Clint Howard performance. and fuck Eli Roth."
Bad Moon (4:10 p.m.): A 1996 release directed by Eric Ed. "badass werewolf flick with a badass dog."
In the Mouth of Madness (5:40 p.m.): A 1995 directed by John Carpenter. "an existential nightmare love letter to Lovecraft. RIP Sam Neill <3"
Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (7:20 p.m.): A 2000 release directed by Joe Berlinger. "can we not slag off Book of Shadows, please?! this movie rips. a solid sequel and some great atmosphere and scares."
Thir13en Ghosts (8:55 p.m.): A 2001 release directed by Steve Beck. "unhinged 2000s energy starring Matthew Lillard and Shannon Elizabeth."
The Driller Killer (10:30 p.m.): A 1979 release directed by Abel Ferrera. "a bizarre, grimy, video-nasty artifact of 70s NYC."
In addition to the screenings, the October 24 12 Hours of Terror XIII: 13 Hours for 13 Years event will have horror and Halloween goods for sale all day and night, and there will also be a raffle with prizes awarded.
