Carrie on

The Film Society of Lincoln Center is ready for Halloween with a five-day, 13-movie showcase it calls “an onslaught of spine-tingling flicks,” both old and new.

The spookathon opens Wednesday with Jim Mickle’s low-budget “Stake Land” (2010), in which zombies have brought down the US government.

Don’t expect a “Twilight”-type soaper. “Stake Land” is a return to the genre’s gory old days. One of the stars, Kelly McGillis, is scheduled to introduce the screening.

The fun ends next Sunday with Aussie Sean Byrne’s prom-night horror show “The Loved Ones” (2009), winner of the audience award at the Toronto Film Festival.

Speaking of proms, one of the fest’s vintage items is Brian De Palma’s “Carrie” (1976), featuring Sissy Spacek (who was nominated for an Oscar), John Travolta, Amy Irving and Piper Laurie (who also got an Oscar nom).

Another oldie but goodie is “Dead of Night” (1945), a collection of six “Twilight Zone”-like tales. Best is director Alberto Cavalcanti’s story of a ventriloquist (Michael Redgrave) possessed by his dummy.

All the movies will unreel at the Walter Reade Theater. Details: filmlinc.com

* On the 20th anniversary of its debut, “The Unbelievable Truth” has been re-released on DVD. Not only did the oddball comedy mark the feature debut of Long Island-raised director Hal Hartley, it featured the then-unknown Adrienne Shelly and Edie Falco.

Who could have imagined then that the talented Shelly would be murdered 16 years later, after making her mark as an actress, director and screenwriter.

The DVD, which includes a documentary about Hartley, is available at possiblefilms.com.
