Hey Kids!
Thanks to everyone who showed up on Friday. It was a great solid turnout, some familiar faces, some new faces... some familiar people with new faces... And the movies were better than even I had expected (and I programmed them)! Oh, and for fans of Old Dracula, I highly recommend checking out the Hammer Studios vampire movies if you haven't already done so. Similarly atmospheric & well dressed, but played totally straight (for the most part). The Horror of Dracula & Dracula Prince of Darkness are two of my favs, although Dracula 1972 A.D. is a great guilty pleasure. Their Frankenstein series also kicks total ass. And for those who like their blood sucking with a little soul, Blacula is totally worth a look and much more faithful and creepy than you would expect. However, the sequel (Scream, Blacula Scream) is even better. Having Pam Greer as a Voodoo priestess kinda does that to a movie.
Which brings me to next month's program: Blaxploitation Rarities!
When: Fri. Sept 29th, Doors 7pm
Where: blim (197 E. 17th Ave @Main)
7:30pm: Darktown Strutters [1975] -- Bizarre action-musical-comedy about an all girl biker gang taking on an evil fast food magnate who looks just like Col. Sanders. Starring Trina Parks (a.k.a. Thumper from "Diamonds Are Forever"). Did I mention it's a blaxploitation MUSICAL?!?! "Refreshments" highly recommended.
9pm: The Candy Tangerine Man [1975] -- Sleazy, violent and unrelenting. Directed by Matt Cimber (The Witch Who Came From the Sea), and starring John Daniels (Black Shampoo). Samuel L. Jackson's favourite pimp movie. Need I say more?
Admission: $5 - $10 on a sliding scale.
Beer & popcorn available from the concession (for real this time).
