Popcorn (1991)

In the grimy spotlight of an abandoned theatre, a group of film students are preparing to host an all-night horrorthon, blissfully unaware of the eerie echoes of the building's sinister past. Among them is Maggie, a young woman whose fears go beyond the flickering shadows on the silver screen. She is convinced that the venue once bore witness to a chilling live execution carried out by Lanyard Gates, a maniacal filmmaker infamously known for his murderous finale that claimed the lives of his family. As the night unfurls, the students stumble upon a chilling relic - a recording made by the very murderer who has haunted their dreams. The recording's disturbing echoes awaken a shadowy figure. Shrouded in the macabre garb of a "Leatherface" type killer, the figure wears its victims' faces as grisly trophies and begins to stalk the students one by one in the labyrinthine theatre. Is it merely an obsessed fan, or has the ghost of Lanyard Gates returned to complete his unfinished masterpiece? The ominous figure seems to harbor a particular interest in Maggie, who is believed to be Sara, the surviving daughter of Gates. As the horrorthon continues, the line between the reel and the real blurs, turning the theatre into a nerve-shredding stage for a final showdown. Now, the students must survive not only the horrors on the screen, but the bloodcurdling reality unfolding around them in the decaying theatre.
