Evil Film School: Good News/Bad News

Hi Kids,

So the good news is that there will be an Evil Film School tonight (June 30)!!

Doors: 7:30
Start: 8:00
Admission 10 - 5 sliding

Popcorn & beer will be available.


Now for the bad news: Turkish Wizard of Oz has not come in. Despite being ordered over a month ago, and several attempts to contact the supplier, it looks unlikely that I'll have it in time for tonight's screening. However, there is an alternate and it's almost as good:

Alyas Batman en Robin [1993] -- That's right, it's the Philipino Batman and Robin musical!! Charming and hilarious. In Filipino/Tagalog with a good smattering of nonsensical English.

There will still be a shorts program before the main event, so come early so you don't miss out.

See you there,

Evil Film School Presents: Summer Camp!

That's right, I've already figured out our next film night:

Friday July 28th.

Doors: 8pm

8:15pm: Mooch Goes to Hollywood [1971] – Bizarre 70’s kid flick involving an ambitious mutt who strives to be a star with some help from Zsa Zsa Gabor. Also featuring Vincent Price and a cavalcade of stars including, Mickey Rooney, Cesar Romero, Phyllis Diller, Darren McGavin and Sam Jaffe. Narrated by Richard Burton.

9:30pm: I Woke Up Early the Day I Died [1998] – From a script by Edward D. Wood Jr. This little seen film features Billy Zane in a masterful performance as an escaped mental patient who spends a good deal of the film in nurse drag. There is no dialogue, only the occasional voice over and the supporting cast has to be seen to be believed (Tippi Hedren, Ron Perlman, Christina Ricci, Andrew McCarthy, Ann Magnuson, Bud Cort, Taylor Negron, Max Perlich, Will Patton, Rain & Summer Phoenix, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Tara Reid, John Ritter, Rick Shroder, Nicollette Sheridan, Steven Weber, Karen Black, Sandra Bernhard, Eartha Kitt, Leif Garrett, Dana Gould, Vampira and MANY more). A rare treat.

Admission is on a sliding scale of $10 - $5.

Beer and popcorn will be available at the venue.
