Late Night with the Devil meets Blue’s Clues in this unsettling, existential horror that will forever change the way you see safety scissors.

The presenter of a children’s TV show spends his days smiling, singing songs, and playing with his puppet pals Beaver, Bird and his best friend Monkey. That’s until he realises that he seems to have lost all his memories and his puppet co-stars are dead set on keeping it that way. Ready for a ride on the Magic Merry Go Round?

This film is part of our all-night horror film marathon Night of the Dead. You can book individual tickets for the screening of the film on this page or buy a Night of the Dead pass for the whole night on this link.
