#MacabroNocturno presents: It's alive in memoriam Larry Cohen
This Macabro Nocturno is dedicated to the recently deceased director and screenwriter Larry Cohen, one of horror's most beloved masters for his contribution to fantasy cinema, horror, and B movies, thanks to titles such as Black Caesar, God told me to and The Stuff, among others. At Macabro we celebrate his work with the screening of one of his most memorable films, It’s alive.
