Repeating event. Participants welcome at any session
This film series will serve as a celebration of the unorthodox, the surreal, and the camp-driven. While Hollywood sticks to its broad sense of genre classification, the Midnight film breaks it down with loose labels bordering on fetish. Nazi zombies, LSD psycopaths with killer cleavage, kung-fu drunkards, flesh-eating mannequins, and deranged mystics in search of a holy mountain.
Warning: there will be exposed skin, buckets of gore, shoddy camerawork, irreligious attacks, surreal psycopaths, and an absence of bras or scripts. If this is not your dish, then please don’t eat off it.
