A Grimy & Gruesome Austin Classic.

Step into the chilling world of Confessions of a Serial Killer, a film based on the horrifying true story of Henry Lee Lucas. This screening offers a rare opportunity to experience a far more accurate depiction of events than the more well-known Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

What truly sets this film apart (and why we’re excited to show it) is the unforgettable lead performance by Austin’s own eccentric film legend, Robert A. Burns. Known as the creative mastermind behind the macabre set design of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and creator of the original Leatherface mask, Burns took on the role of the fictionalized Lucas, delivering a harrowing portrayal of a grim human predator. While Burns is celebrated for his work as an art director on horror classics like The Hills Have Eyes, The Howling, and Re-Animator, Confessions showcases his haunting acting talent like never before.

Don’t miss this chance to honor the legacy of a true Austin icon and witness a film that’s as unsettling as it is compelling. This is a must-see for fans of true crime, cult cinema, and the dark artistry of Robert A. Burns.
