Monster Movie Club presents Mother’s Day (1980)

Looking for a Mother’s Day movie night that’s a little… untraditional? Join Monster Movie Club for a screening of Mother’s Day (1980), a cult horror classic that flips the idea of wholesome family bonding into something much darker—and a lot more entertaining.

A sweet little reminder that your mom may be a lot… but she could always be worse. 💕🩷

This delightfully deranged film blends camp horror, exploitation cinema, slasher thrills, and sharp satire into one unforgettable experience. Directed by Charles Kaufman and produced by Troma Entertainment, Mother’s Day has earned its reputation as a must-watch for fans of vintage horror movies, cult cinema, and gritty 1980s exploitation films.

The story follows three women on a seemingly peaceful camping trip that spirals into chaos when they encounter two sadistic brothers—and their terrifyingly unhinged mother. What unfolds is equal parts shocking, absurd, and darkly funny, making it a standout for anyone who loves retro horror screenings, midnight movies, and cult film events.

Expect outrageous performances, low-budget charm, and the kind of boundary-pushing storytelling that defines the best (and wildest) of classic horror cinema.

Bring your mom—if you dare. Or bring friends who appreciate campy horror, grindhouse films, and offbeat Mother’s Day events.

Note: Not for the faint of heart. This film contains disturbing themes, violence, and dark humor. We recommend looking into it beforehand if you’re unsure—but adventurous viewers may prefer to go in blind for the full experience.
