TRANSCRIPT

  • DRACULA DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION

    THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES Feast with Victoria Price (1971)To celebrate the new 50th anniversary edition of Vincent and Mary Prices A Treasury of Great Recipes, join us for a special evening with Victoria Price, Vincents daughter.

    After years in solitude, Dr. Anton Phibes emerges to unleash his vengeance on the nine surgeons who failed to save his true love. But he isnt alone. Armed with dozens of torture devices, a clockwork robot army, and a demented brain to match his grotesque body, Phibes annihilates his enemies with creative derangement.

    Well be serving up a delectable feast using recipes from the book and screening THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES, a Vincent Price classic. Before the film, Victoria will take the stage to share memories of her father with her multi-media presenta-tion Explore, Savor, Celebrate: Life with Vincent Price. Shell also be available after the screening to sign copies of her book, Vincent Price: A Daughters Biography, as well as the new edi-tion of A Treasury of Great Recipes.

    BRAIN DAMAGE (1988, 35mm)Director Frank Henenlotter in person! Brian meets Aylmer, a mysterious, ancient, snake-like (ok, phallic) parasitic creature that lives off of brain juice, which it consumes by poking a fang into the hosts spine. The reward (or bait) that Aylmer offers for his meals is an overpowering color-soaked mind-trip that proves to be quite addictive. Gory, goopy, and hilarious, BRAIN DAMAGE is also somehow personal and touching.

    The Ultimate Wonka Party (1971)With Mike TeeVee (Paris Themmen) and Veruca Salt (Julie Dawn Cole) Live In Person! Come with me, and youll be in a wooorld of pure imagina-tion... and youll also be in a theater with two of the original kids from WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FAC-TORY! Well have a full Q&A after the screening, so you can ask Mike TeeVee what it was like to be so tiny and find out what happened to Veruca after she got dumped down the Bad Egg shoot. Each member of the audience will also receive a special edition Wonka poster signed by Paris and Julie!

    The Action Pack is pulling out all the stops with little surprises around every corner...but nothing too dangerous. Bubbles for everyone, candies to eat along with the kids on screen and more. Wed hate to ruin it all for you, so sign the contract at the bottom line and youll be in a world of pure imagination...if you truly wish...to be.

    THE KEEPING ROOM (2015)Playing from 10/16 - 10/22 In this radically reimagined American Western set towards the end of the Civil War, Southerner Augusta (Brit Marling, Arbitrage, The East) encounters two renegade, drunken soldiers (Sam Worthington, Avatar & Kyle Soller, BBCs Poldark) who are on a mission of pillage and violence. After escaping an attempted assault, Augusta races back to the isolated farmhouse that she shares with her sister Louise (Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit, Pitch Perfect 2) and their female slave Mad (newcomer Muna Otaru.) When the pair of soldiers track Augusta down intent on exacting revenge, the trio of women are forced to take up arms to fend off their assailants, finding ways to resourcefully defend their homeand themselvesas the escalating attacks become more unpredictable and relentless.

    Based on Julia Harts revered 2012 Black List screenplay, and directed by Academy Award Nominated Daniel Barber (Harry Brown), THE KEEPING ROOM is a tense and uncompro-mising tale of survival that also shatters both gender and genre conventions.

    BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II (1989)Great Scott! Weve partnered with Universal on an exclusive BACK TO THE FUTURE II pint glass featuring artwork by Mondo and artist Tom Whalen. You can only purchase your glass with your ticket to this screening!

    COMMANDO (1985)Celebrate 30 years of COMMANDO and the launch of NECAs brand new Schwarzenegger figure! Decades before Liam Neeson played the cunning, badass dad who sets out to find his kidnapped daughter in TAKEN, Arnold Schwarzenegger was John Matrix, a retired Delta Force colonel whose new calm life of ice cream eating and deer feeding is interrupted when mercenaries kidnap his daughter (played by Alyssa Milano!!). Springing into action and armed to the teeth with automatic rifles, a rocket launcher and biceps, Matrix takes down the mercenaries one by one, punctuating each encounter with one-liners that many of us now use in our daily lives.

    GOODFELLAS DINNER PARTYCelebrate the 25th anniversary of GOODFELLAS with a screening of the new 4K restoration!Our Goodfellas Dinner Party will serve you a platter of deli-cious Italian dishes inspired by the film, including a bright Caprese tomato salad, an Olive Salad with Roasted Garlic Bulb, Baked Ziti with housemade pork sausage and a rich tomato sauce, finishing up with a creamy, light tiramisu.

    THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW SING-ALONG (1973)As the cult of Rocky Horror enters its fourth decade, the Drafthouses twenty-first century celebration of the daddy (and mommy) of interactive movies has incorporated new breakthroughs, elusive ingredients, and that...SPARK!, which will make the RHPS experience better than ever! With thrill-ing props, the most outrageous callbacks, boisterous singing along, and stimulating pre-show games, we want these events to be your ultimate ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW whether this is your 1st or 500th time.

    AGFA Presents: DEMON WITCH CHILD

    CARRIE (1976)Enduring the humiliation that is the true stuff of teenage girl nightmares - public shame for getting your period - Carrie is constantly on the receiving end of her classmates pranks. At home she is taunted with religious nonsense and talk of dirty pillows, so whats a girl to do but transfer all that rage into telekinetic powers? This film is so effectively terrifying, repeat viewings wont numb you to it.

    DISMEMBER THE ALAMO (35mm)Presented by the American Genre Film Archive!Every good dose of horror deserves a sequel. Thats why were bringing you a four horror movie marathon, this time on Halloween proper for maximum ghoulishness! All titles will be in 35mm, and once again be secret until the projector rolls. All well tell you is dont expect the obvious! In addition to the killer move line-up, well have 35mm trailers, food & drink specials and a costume contest, so be sure to dress to unrest!

    DRACULA (1931)Introduced by Ken Hanley, whose monster self-help book The I in Evil comes out this month.Handsome, mysterious and alluring, Lugosis Dracula was at once so sexy and so haunting that audiences gasped when he first opened his mouth to speak. After a half-year run on Broadway, Dracula toured the United States to much fanfare and critical acclaim throughout 1928 and 1929. There have been many portrayls of Dracula since and even a few before, but none as iconic as Bela Lugosis.

    GHOSTBUSTERS (1984)Spectre-destroyers Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis and the vastly under-appreciated Hudson collectively defined 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. This special Movie Party Screening features a gorgeous new digital restoration while simultaneously singing the theme song loud and proud and quoting along with all of your favorite lines.

    THE HAUNTING (1963)No one lives in the 90-year-old Hill House. Or so it seems. But come in. Four people come to the house to study its supernatu-ral phenomena. Or has the house drawn at least one of them to it? Indisputably one of the best haunted house films ever made, THE HAUNTING is still capable of genuinely frightening an audience with its masterful use of suggestion and atmosphere.

    Victory Screening: KILL BILL VOL I (2003)Alamo Victory members are invited to this FREE screening! To sign up for Victory, visit drafthouse.com/victory. To reserve tickets, you must be logged into your Victory account!Maybe Tarantinos most ambitious effort, the KILL BILL films are one of the most audacious odes to cinema an American film-maker has ever made. Told in two very similar, yet completely different volumes, the story is about The Bride and her quest for revenge on those who tried to murder at her own wedding. Her survival is unknown to them, which leads to one surprising and action-filled confrontation after another.

    THE MUTILATOR (1984, 35mm)Co-presented by Arrow Films!Easily one of the most deranged trash-slashers of 1984, THE MUTILATOR is a feel-bad, coming-of-age violence machine that lives up to its name ten times over. And its a tale as old as time. When a little kid accidently shoots his mom in the back with a rifle, his Dad flips out and sets Moms corpse against the couch. Then Dad sips a cocktail. Ten years later, Dad asks the now-grown-up kid -- and five of his friends -- to close up the familys tacky beach-side condo for the autumn season. And thats when the medieval hatchet shows up.

    SCREAM (1996, 35mm)It may be a little too clot with blood now to see -- given the less than killer sequels and the countless copycat teen horror flicks in the late 90s/2000s -- but SCREAM was groundbreaking for the horror genre upon its release in 1996. Heavily influenced by slashers of the late 70s/80s it singlehandedly ushered in the return of the popular horror sub-genre. This was a film written by a gore geek about gore geeks getting killed by gore geeks because they had watched too many scary movies...

    Mondo X Chiller: ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992)Featuring a limited Mondo giveaway!Cult superstar Bruce Campbell reunites with director Sam Raimi to battle the deadly forces of evil in this outrageous, ef-fects-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 (Campbell) must save the living from the dead, rescue his medieval girlfriend and get back to his own time.

    Monday Night Thread Up: DEAD HEAT (1988, 35 mm)DEAD HEAT starts out as a crime flick, turns into a schlocky zombie movie and then becomes a race against time, with cop Roger Mortis (Treat Williams) being killed while pursuing an evil Vincent Price (in one of his final screen roles) only to be reanimated giving him twelve hours to solve his murder with the aid of his partner played by Joe Piscopo before he decom-poses. Its brash, politically incorrect, gory genre cinema that just happens to feature reanimated frozen chickens.

    AGFA Presents: DEMON WITCH CHILD (1975, 35mm)Introduced by Temple of Schlocks Chris Poggiali.A butt-ugly ol witch, suspected of kidnapping a baby for hu-man sacrifice, is brought to the local police station for question-ing. Threatened with truth serum to reveal the location of the child, the witch kills herself by diving out the nearest window. Seeking revenge, the witchs coven places a curse on the police commissioners daughter -- and its only a matter of time before the cursing and levitating begins. This grim shocker has been available for years in lousy VHS transfers, but heres a rare chance to catch it in 35mm and on a big screen!

    Girlie Night: HOCUS POCUS Quote-Along (1993)There have never been more fabulous witches than Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy, which makes it hard to remember that theyre the villains. Especially when Midler sings, because she really can put a spell on you. But angsty teenager Max (Omri Katz) and adorable little Dani (Thora Birch) are worthy heroes, and how could you not root for a talking cat named Thackery Binx? Mix all of these elements together, and youve got a potion for a Halloween classic. This year, weve made this film even more of a treat by turning it into a Quote-Along! Youll be encouraged to say your favorite witchy lines, sing along, and interact with the movie using themed props.

    Video Vortex: SOUL OF THE DEMON (1991)VHS-only insanity projected from VHS for only $1! When two kids find a gargoyle statue by a lake, they unknow-ingly unleash a demon with an insatiable bloodlust for humans. After some BMX tricks and a basketball scrimmage between bros with hairstyles that look like piles of dead skunks, some rejects from BILL AND TEDS BOGUS JOURNEY throw a pizza party in an abandoned house on Halloween. The demon shows up! And the mega-gory mutilation begins!!

    Staff Picks: STARSHIP TROOPERS (1997, 35mm)Staff pick of Brian!Giant bugs, space flights, awesome machine guns, and co-ed showers. Johnny Rico was just your average ordinary twenty-something-looking high school kid, until BUGS attacked his hometown of Buenos Aires. Fired up for revenge, Johnny and his pals join the Federation Army to fight back because the only good bug...is a DEAD BUG. Would you like to know more?

    Prints of Darkness: TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT (1995, 35mm)Introduced by Fangoria managing editor Michael Gingold.William Sadler in person!Successfully evoking the same mix of gruesomeness and giggles that made the TV series so successful, this film pits a pair of supernatural enemies against each other, with a host of nasty, icky, perfectly realized demonic imps joining the battle. The staging area is a boarding house inhabited by a great gallery of rising stars and character actors, including Jada Pinkett (before she got Smithed), Thomas Haden Church, CCH Pounder and the inimitable Dick Miller, who here has one of the most memorable scenes of his 60-year career.

    IFC at the Alamo: THIS IS THE END (2013)Join us for this FREE screening presented by IFC! Reserve your seat with a $5 voucher good towards food & beverage.Were screening one of our favorite nutso films in celebration of IFCs new show, GIGI DOES IT, which premieres on Thursday, October 1st at 10/9c only on IFC.

    Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel star as themselves along with Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, and Craig Robinson in this end-of-days comedy that finds the actors hiding out with James Franco in his house as the apocalypse decimates L.A.

    ATTACK ON TITAN THE MOVIE: PARTS I & II (2015)A century ago, Titans suddenly appeared on Earth. These titans soon drove human civilization to the brink ofcollapse. Humans then built a giant wall to defend themselves. Within these confines humans lived in peace, but100 years later the wall was broken. The result is intense action in a deadly post-apocalyptic setting where humans fight monstrous Titans for theirvery survival. Where will they end up? Will the humans be able to reclaim their world, to secure their survival?

    BORUTO: NARUTO THE MOVIE (2015)With Naruto as the Seventh Hokage, Hidden Leaf Village is planning to host the Chunin Exams to train new shinobi from the village and from their allied villages. Among the entrants are Sasukes daughter, Sarada, Mitsuki, an exceptionally talented yet mysterious shinobi And Boruto, Narutos talented but impetuous son.

    DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION PARTS 1-3After years of being secretly bootlegged and publicly unavail-able, at long last THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZA-TION is finally back in theaters and just as relevant as the day it was born. Penelope Spheeris sweaty gut-puncher of a film isnt a nutty punk rock doc, its as fundamental as GIMME SHELTER or STOP MAKING SENSE. For those who werent able to see Black Flag, The Germs or X live in their prime, DECLINE may be your most intimate experience, just as if your fists were clenched in the middle of a rambunctious pit.

    GOODFELLAS (1990)Martin Scorsese explores the life of organized crime with his gritty, kinetic adaptation of Nicolas Pileggis best-selling Wise-guy, the true-life account of mobster and FBI informant Henry Hill. Set to a true-to-period rock soundtrack, the story details the rise and fall of Hill, a half-Irish, half-Sicilian New York kid who grows up idolizing the wise guys in his impoverished Brooklyn neighborhood and his rise through the mafia ranks.

    MY FAIR LADY (1964)Join us for a screening of the breathtaking new restoration playing in cinemas nationwide for two days only. In honor of its 50th Anniversary, MY FAIR LADY has been restored frame-by-frame from the original 65mm negative and scanned (8K to 4K or 2K) utilizing start-of-the-art technology. This screening will also feature The Fairest Fair Lady, a 10 minute theatrical trailer produced by Warner Bros. for the films original release. The trailer takes a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the remarkable efforts that went into making this film.

    ROGER WATERS THE WALL (2015)Roger Waters, co-founder and primary songwriter of Pink Floyd, fuses the epic and the personal in ROGER WATERS THE WALL, a concert film that goes well beyond the stage. Af-ter the film we present The Simple Facts, a unique opportunity to see Roger Waters and his Pink Floyd bandmate Nick Mason reunited, unscripted, and in conversation to answer questions submitted the fans from around the world.
