MONSTER SQUAD (1987)
Only one 80s masterpiece can claim the title of The Killingest,
Swearingest, Monster-est Kids Movie of All Time. Ill let
you guess which flm it is, but Ill give you a hint: Its THE
MONSTER SQUAD, dammit!! A group of horror-obsessed
adolescents are joined by the Frankenstein Monster to combat
Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy and a Swamp Creature.
Childhood innocence is forever lost in a blinding storm of
silver bullets, sharpened stakes and enormous explosions. 10/9
THE EVIL DEAD (1981)
Whether youre a rabid gore nut or the wimpy old Pope, youre
well aware that the most monumental horror series of the 20th
Century is THE EVIL DEAD trilogy. Big-time flmmaker Sam
Raimi and big-chin actor Bruce Campbell knocked out their
baby teeth on these movies, heading deep into the woods to
scare up massively effective shocks on a miniscule budget. And
when the frst EVIL DEAD hit theaters, horror cinema was
altered forever. Join not-quite-fearless warrior Ash in a fuid-
soaked chainsaw-wielding battle with undead demonoids who
possess, violate and kill using methods that would make Satan
himself blush! Its the fright flm that reinvented nightmares for
an entire generation, and its bigger, bloodier and backer than
ever to tear your skull out through your eye sockets! 10/14
GHOSTBUSTERS Quote-Along (1984)
Its possible that GHOSTBUSTERS is the worlds only univer-
sally adored movie. Spectre-destroyers Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis
and the vastly under-appreciated Hudson collectively defned
everything we enjoy in 80s cinema, unleashing a supernatural
adventure that busts funnybones as well as ghosts. Together,
the four hopped in a converted ambulance and made an entire
decade safe for hilarity, action, and transdimensional demon
combat. Quoting, props and fun are mandatory! 10/6 & 10/12
SHAUN OF THE DEAD Quote-Along (2004)
A fawlessly perfect flm, SHAUN OF THE DEAD is not
just the worlds frst ZomRomCom of note, its also one of
the most quote-able movies of all time. From the ubiquitous
Youve got red on you to oh, hes got an arm off . Featur-
ing foam cricket bats to whack your neighbors brains out with.
10/13
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS Sing-Along (1986)
A singing plant. A daring hero. A sweet girl. A demented den-
tist. And one of the most outrageous Action Pack Sing-Alongs
in years! Join us as we all sing-along to Suddenly Seymour,
Dentist, Skid Row, and all of the other now classic songs from
this masterpiece of a musical. Well have all sorts of great props
for everyone, too, including a custom Smell-Along card you can
inhale from every time Steve Martins dentist breathes in his
gas, candy blood to eat whenever Seymour is feeding Audrey II,
and more! 10/27
THE EVIL DEAD II: DEAD BY DAWN (1987)
If imitation is the sincerest form of fattery, then Sam Raimi
must be the happiest man on earth. Not content with creating
one of the most ferocious and ground-breaking lo-f horror
movies ever, Raimi one-upped himself by reimagining the
original EVIL DEAD as a parody. And also a sequel. The
gonzo, ultra-creative EVIL DEAD II reunites the iconic Ash
with a possessed cabin in the woods. But this time, Raimi and
co-writer Scott Spiegel wanted more! And so, the spirit of the
original EVIL DEAD was combined with The Three Stooges
to create the defnitive horror-comedy of 1987 and also all
years forever after infnity. 10/21
ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992)
Listen up, you primitive screwheads! Cult superstar Bruce
Campbell reunites with director Sam Raimi to battle the deadly
forces of evil in mad cap fnale to the EVIL DEAD Trilogy.
The outrageous, effects-fueled action epic that will make you
scream with fear and laughter. Forced to lead a makeshift Dark
Ages army against the demonic Deadites, who possess all the
deadly magic of hell, the shotgun-toting, chainsaw-armed,
reluctant 20th century time traveler Ash must save the living
from the dead, rescue his medieval girlfriend and get back to his
own time. 10/28
ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW (1975)
All-American couple Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and fance
Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) decide to visit their old professor.
Unfortunately, their car breaks down outside a sinister house,
and they are forced to stay the night. Inside the house Brad and
Janet fnd a world flled with subversive sexuality.
The flm itself is flled with great tunes and a slightly loopy plot.
So its just like your common-or-garden musical in that way.
Where the flm really takes off is in its subversion of sexual
mores as Brad and Janet break free from their normality.
Richard OBrien created THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE
SHOW for the London stage, and in addition to writing duties
also shows up as butler Riff Raff. But the flm belongs to Tim
Curry as cross-dressing scientist Frank N Furter.
And if youve seen it so many times that youre tired of singing
along, you can gain new thrills by seeing it at the cinema and
entering the world of audience participation. Dress up! Shout
at the screen and enter conversations with the characters in
the flm! Many claim that audience participation is the essence
of the Rocky Horror experience, and the flm itself merely an
excuse for this mayhem.
Will it appeal to everyone? Certainly not. But for those willing
to experiment with something a little bit different, a little bit
outr, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW has a lot to
offer. 10/17 & 10/18
Video Vortex:
HAUNTEDWEEN (1991)
In 1970, grade-schooler Eddie Burber impaled a girl in his
familys Halloween spookhouse. Twenty years later, the bros
of Sigma Pi fraternity re-open the house for a fundraiser. Big
mistake. Because grown-up Eddie dons a hobo mask and turns
his vengeful wrath on the customers of the haunted house.
Goofy, fun, and oozing with the warmth of no-budget ambi-
tion, HAUNTEDWEEN is the new Halloween tradition for
weirdos who like it when adults wearing Hawaiian swim trunks
get decapitated by a killer with a baseball bat. VHS-only insanity
projected from VHS for only one buck! 10/29
HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH (1982)
One week before October 31, a mysterious corporation unveils
a series of adorable monster masks that are secretly devised
to transform children faces into a mass of gore and crawling
insects. There are people who hate this brilliant movie. There
are also people who enjoy vegan cuisine, listen to Nickelback
or think Kevin James is funny. None of those things can be
blamed on HALLOWEEN III. So what if it has nothing to do
with the masked maniac that founded the famous series? Now
that Rob Zombie has made Michael Meyers about as scary as
Austin Powers, join us in enjoying some true HALLOWEEN
excitement. 10/30
AS YOU WISH: THE PRINCESS BRIDE
WITH CARY ELWES LIVE STREAM
A Quote-Along screening of THE PRINCESS BRIDE with
an exclusive Cary Elwes live stream Q&A on the big screen?
Inconceivable! But true! The Action Pack has teamed up with
Simon and Schuster to create an incredible one night only
event that may be the greatest celebration of THE PRINCESS
BRIDE of all time: AS YOU WISH.
The night will begin with a Quote-Along screening of the flm
where audience members will be encouraged to call out all of
their favorite lines from the flm. And in true Rocky Horror
fashion, everyone will also receive a collection of props to bring
the action on screen out into the theater:
After the movie, join us in an extended conversation and Q&A
with the Dread Pirate Roberts himself, Cary Elwes! Mr. Elwes
will discuss all of the best anecdotes and behind-the-scenes
stories from the making of one of the most beloved movies of
all time, and attendees at Alamo theaters will be given access to
ask their own questions for the Man in Black via Twitter!
After the screening, everyone in attendance will receive a signed
copy of Mr. Elwes new memoir, AS YOU WISH, which is
flled to the brim with even more facts and inconceivable tales
from the making of the flm, AND all guests will also receive a
limited edition, silk-screened PRINCESS BRIDE pint glass to
commemorate the evening! So lace up your boots, draw your
swords, and prepare for a miracle because this is true love. You
think this happens every day? 10/20
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978)
One of those rare remakes that imporves upon its predeces-
sor. The plot involves a San Francisco health inspector and his
colleague who discover humans are being replaced by duplicate
aliens who appear to be perfect copies of the persons replaced,
but devoid of any human emotion, who attempt to install a
tightly organised, conformist society. 10/4
DEAD SNOW 2: RED VS DEAD (2014)
Its the age old story. Martin accidentally killed his girlfriend
with an axe. He cut his own arm off with a chainsaw. And his
friends STILL got devoured by a battallion of Nazi Zombies.
This morning, he woke up in a hospital bed with a new arm
but its a super-powered Zombie arm that wants to kill him, and
anything else it can reach. Martins PISSED. And with the help
of his new Zombie Squad pals (including Apatow alum Martin
Starr), hes gonna deliver some payback to Colonel Herzog by
raising an undead army of his own. Thats all. 10/10
THE THING (1982)
Kurt Russells beautiful beard captains an all-star cast in John
Carpenters monster masterpiece of aliens, paranoia and sub-
zero temperatures. This flm has no equal. Twelve men have
just discovered something. For 100,000 years it was buried in
the snow and ice, now it has found a place to live...inside, where
no one can see it, or hear it...or feel it. 10/16
VICE PRESENTS:
FISHING WITHOUT NETS (2014)
Shot in East Africa using Somali non-actors, Fishing Without
Nets tells the mesmerizing and sobering story of the bandits
from the Somali point of view. First-time feature flmmaker
Cutter Hodierne combines the epic cinematic vision of a glori-
ous action-thriller with intimate, textured qualities of an art
flm, humanizing the pirates by bringing us inside their moral
dilemmas and gut-wrenching struggles. 10/23
DC BRAU PRESENTS:
FIGHT CLUB (1999)
The 1st rule of fght club is: do not talk about FIGHT CLUB.
So I cant tell you about the story of a depressed insomniac
who frequents support groups to which he has no connection
and fnds himself engaging in bare-knuckle brawls to feel even
the slightest spark of life. But I CAN tell you that we are team-
ing up with DC Brau and providing you with some Ultra Rare
On The Wings Of Armageddon. 10/15
DRAFTHOUSE FILMS:
20,000 DAYS ON EARTH (2014)
An inventive, lyrical ode to creativity featuring musician and
cultural icon Nick Cave. Fusing drama and reality by weav-
ing the journey of a fctional day in Caves life, the flm is an
intimate portrayal of the artistic process. The flm made its
world premiere at this years Sundance Film Festival where it
was awarded both Best Directing and Best Editing Awards
in the World Cinema Documentary category. 10/11

THE BIRDS DINNER PARTY
What Spielberg did for the ocean, Hitchcock did for the skies.
The adorably sinister director of PSYCHO, REAR WINDOW,
VERTIGO and so many others, took his talents to creating a
winged terror on a small Northern California town. Weve had
it with those birds so were taking back our revenge with a four
course avian feast. 10/22
