Fright Club hosted a community watch-along of John Schlesinger's 1987 horror film The Believers, starring Martin Sheen as police psychologist Cal Jamison investigating ritual killings in New York. The screening emphasized the film's notorious electrocution sequence that frames a crucifix and reminded viewers that Mark Frost holds a screenplay credit, with an interview featuring Frost coming soon. The event served as a nostalgia-driven reappraisal of Satanic Panic-era horror, placing The Believers alongside films like The Serpent and the Rainbow and underscoring Martin Sheen's recurring presence in genre cinema.
