Yes, a delightful holiday double feature: Black Christmas and Silent Night, Deadly Night...on the big screen, introduced by John effing Saxon.
BLACK CHRISTMAS director Bob Clark is well known for his holiday perennial A CHRISTMAS STORY, but years before that he crafted a very different holiday film. BLACK CHRISTMAS is one of the earliest and best of what later devolved into the 'slasher film' genre and is not to be missed. This is our third annual holiday screening of the film, which we intend to continue as an ongoing tribute to Bob Clark. The film will be introduced by star John Saxon.I am sooooo excited to see Black Christmas on the big big screen with a big big crowd! That's right, I'll be there and I'll be square. If you go, look for me: I'll be decked out in my finest movie-watchin' muu-muu, though I may cover up with a nice appliqued holiday sweater...it's been a bit chilly in the evenings. Say hi, but please, no photos! The event is about the films, not me.
Director Charles E. Sellier's SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT was faced with nationwide protests over it's "killer Santa" premise upon release in 1984, becoming one of the most controversial films of all time. While we don't expect angry parents picketing outside the theater this time around, we do expect that everyone will have a great time with this entertaining film from the man previously best known as the creator of the Grizzly Adams franchise.
The event starts at 7:30pm, and admission for the double feature plus a reel of rare exploitation trailers and a free raffle is only $8.00.
