Stephen King's 'Thinner' Reunion Screening

After the postponement of our previous summer date, Oceanside Intl Film Festival proudly presents the Stephen King's "Thinner" Special Reunion Screening. Save the date for Saturday, January 20, 2024. Brought to you by Visit Oceanside, join us for this exclusive screening at the Star Theatre in Downtown Oceanside. Attending the event are legendary horror director Tom Holland, stars Robert John Burke, Joe Mantegna and monster makeup Artist Vincent J. Guastini.

In Stephen King's "Thinner", an obese lawyer (Billy Halek, played by Robert John Burke) finds himself growing “Thinner” when a mysterious carny (Michael Constantine) places a hex on him. Now the lawyer must call upon his friends in organized crime (Joe Mantegna) to help persuade the old man to lift the curse. Time is running out for the desperate lawyer as he draws closer to his own death & grows ever thinner by the day.
