A Nightmare on Franklin Street welcomes back Tampa’s own Joe Davison (Sorority of the Damned, Beauty is Skin Deep, Stranger Things Season 2 & 5, Up All Night with Rhonda Shear) for the world premiere of his newest film, Demon Queen Pinball Machine.

It is the story of two deadbeat delivery drivers tasked with transporting a pinball machine that — unbeknownst to them — is possessed by a revenge spirit dead set on killing.

Shot entirely in Tampa, the film stars Joe himself, alongside Francesco S. Viola (Night of Blood, Lonesome Solider, Cupid’s Christmas), Renee Daw (Sorority of the Damned, Gimme a D!), Elissa Dowling (Death Racers, Night of the Tommy Knockers, The Most Dangerous Game), and Mike Ferguson (The Last Hit, Bullet Train, The Hawk, Pancake Man, Dracula Eternal, The Boatyard).

Following the screening, Davison will be joined onstage by cast and crew for a panel discussion and audience Q&A.

This screening is held in the Historic Duncan Auditorium. This space utilizes open seating for this event, seat selection is not required.
