THE ALAMO GETS SPOOKED


THRILLS, CHILLS, BLOOD AND GUTS

SCREAM (1996)
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. Heavily influenced by slashers
of the late 70s/80s it singlehandedly ushered in the return of
the popular horror sub-genre. And yet, at the same time, it took
a new stab at the rules (the virginal final girl, the bait and
switch with the killers identity, eff and youll die, etc.). And to
top it all off, a master of horror himself, the late Wes Craven
sat behind the camera to riff on the very subgenre he helped
pioneer. 10/6
HOUSE OF WAX 3D (1953)
Back in the early 50s, 3D was something of a nine days wonder. Within a year, the fad faded, thanks to lots of mediocre
quickies. But one that transcended the trend was Vincent Prices
HOUSE OF WAX, a nifty thriller adapted from Lionel Atwill
and Fay Wrays 33 hit THE MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM. If you saw HOUSE OF WAX in 3D -- it was the first
major 3D feature photographed in color -- you were impressed
by director Andre de Toths expert use of the format (even
more impressive when you learn that de Toth was blind in one
eye and couldnt actually see any of the 3D effects he was staging). If you saw HOUSE OF WAX without 3D, you still got a
classy, memorably creepy horror show. 10/8

TTHE ALAMO GETS SPOOKED


THRILLS, CHILLS, BLOOD AND GUTS

CARRIE (1976)
We have Stephen King and Brian DePalma to thank for ruining
proms for popular kids for ever and ever! Sissy Spacek makes
Carrie a truly frail creature, whose wide eyes are so much like a
cat caught in the light, youd rather keep your distance to avoid
the scratch. Enduring the humiliation that is the true stuff of
teenage girl nightmares. 10/10
THE MUTILATOR (1984)
By sword. By pick. By axe. BYE BYE!! Easily one of the most
deranged trash-slashers of 1984, THE MUTILATOR is a feelbad, coming-of-age violence machine that lives up to its name
ten times over. Feeling like it was assembled by a schizophrenic
on a meth binge and oozing with chaotic gore and creamy
synths, THE MUTILATOR is one of the last undiscovered
treasures from the golden age slasher boom. 10/17
THE EXORCIST (1973)
Anchored by a quartet of brilliant performers (Ellen Burstyn,
Max Von Sydow, Linda Blair and Jason Miller), the film feels
like an intimate play moreso than an epic horror film. This
makes the primal fear of a single mother having a possessed
daughter to be all the more intensified and personal. The setup
is simple, but the execution is flawless. Few films seek out to
achieve the emotional goals of THE EXOCIST and even fewer
accomplish them. 10/31

the SECRETY SOCIETY of FILM-MASONS | Session XXVI


GOODFELLAS (1990)
In this brand new 4K remastered print, Martin Scorsese
explores the life of organized crime with his gritty, kinetic
adaptation of Nicolas Pileggis best-selling Wiseguy, the truelife 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. 10/14

BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II Quote-Along (1989)
Cinematic history is about to be made. The date that Marty and
Doc head into the future on October 21, 2015. Were still awaiting JAWS 19, power laces and hover boards but well be there
for one of the best parties around. 10/21

the SECRETY SOCIETY of FILM-MASONS | Session XXVIII


HAUSU (1977)
The surprise film at this years Sundance Film Festival, director
Explaining HAUSU is like explaining the wind. It just exists.
Possibly the Most Brilliant and Bizarre Film of the 20th Century! 10/28

ARCADE FIRE: THE REFLEKTOR TAPES (2015)


THE REFLEKTOR TAPES is a fascinating insight into the
making of Arcade Fires international #1 album Reflektor.
The film recontextualizes the album experience and the bands
creative journey, transporting the viewer into a kaleidoscopic
sonic and visual landscape. Including, filmed only for cinema
audiences, never before seen personal interviews and moments
captured by the band. 10/5

THRILLS, CHILLS, BLOOD AND GUTS

EVIL DEAD DOUBLE FEATURE (1984)


Watch Sam Raimis horror classic THE EVIL DEAD and his
sequel/remake horror-comedy EVIL DEAD II back-to-back!
Big-time filmmaker 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 first EVIL DEAD hit theaters,
horror cinema was altered forever. If imitation is the sincerest
form of flattery, then Sam Raimi must be the happiest man on
earth. Not content with creating one of the most ferocious and
ground-breaking lo-fi horror movies ever, Raimi one-upped
himself by reimagining the original EVIL DEAD as a parody.
And also a sequel. With all of its glorious one-liners and ThreeStooges like mishaps were giving it the Quote-Along Action
Packed treament. 10/18
ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992)
Featuring a limited Mondo giveaway!
All primitive screwheads, listen up! Cult superstar Bruce
Campbell reunites with director Sam Raimi to battle the deadly
forces of evil. 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. 10/29

Tough Guy Cinema
PREDATOR (1987)
When a dreadlocked, massive beast of an alien armed with top
notch hunting equipment makes camp in the jungle and starts
picking off humans, who could possibly stop it? The best band
of muscles ever to stomp through 80s sci-fi, thats who. Arnold
Schwarzenneger leads the charge with every weapon imaginable
and an arsenal of one-liners. 10/13 & 10/15
Video Vortex
SOUL OF THE DEMON (1991)
Halloween night just isnt Halloween night unless someone
gets sawed in half by a demon wearing a Freddy Krueger mask
from Target. Shot for the price of three tacos, SOUL OF THE
DEMON is the worlds first-est, best-est, and only-est shotin-Las-Vegas NIGHT OF THE DEMONS rip-off. When two
kids find a gargoyle statue by a lake, they unknowingly 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!! SOUL OF THE DEMON is
an unheralded no-fi dimension-warp with incredible homemade
effects, unbelievable guitar wailing, and characters who say
things like, This is a mixture of MAGNUM P.I., DRACULA,
and your fu**** mom! That is to say, this movie is everything
youve ever wanted on Halloween. 10/27

THRILLS, CHILLS, BLOOD AND GUTS

GHOSTBUSTERS Movie Party (1984)


Its possible that GHOSTBUSTERS is the worlds only universally adored movie. 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. 10/19
THE LOST BOYS Quote-Along (1987)
We wont make you eat maggots or trick you into drinking
blood that will somehow turn you into half of a vampire, but
we will let you say all of your favorite lines out loud along with
the film, and our hosts will be starting the show off with a
special game of Are You a Vampire? on stage. Expect plenty
of garlic and holy water if youre brave enough to volunteer for
that challenge! 10/12
ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW Sing-Along (1975)
Youve arrived on a very special night.
Were teaming up for a fundraiser night hosted by the toughest
ladies on four wheels. Join The Alamo and the NOVA Roller
Derby Girls for a Halloween experience you wont forget. The
Quote-Alongs that started our love of all other Quote-Alongs
is returning to The Alamo. 10/30

ATTACK ON TITAN (2015)
A century ago, Titans suddenly appeared on Earth. These
titans soon drove human civilization to the brink of collapse.
Humans then built a giant wall to defend themselves. Within
these confines humans lived in peace, but 100 years later the
wall was broken. The result is intense action in a deadly postapocalyptic setting where humans fight monstrous Titans for
their very survival. Where will they end up? Will the humans be
able to reclaim their world, to secure their survival? The fate of
mankind will rest with a ragtag team of Army Corps members.
Only time will tell if they can end the Titan menace.
