To celebrate the Halloween season, Master Pancake dreams up fun ways to eviscerate the Wes Craven classic A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984), or as we like to call it "Scissorhands vs. Razorgloves". Featuring a baby-faced Johnny Depp (21 JUMP STREET, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS) as a preppy horn-dog who just wants to get with Heather Langenkamp (NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3, GROWING PAINS) the girl next door with a fantastic set of lungs. Of course it's Robert Englund (C.H.U.D. II: BUD THE CHUD, THE ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE) who steals the show as the well-clawed Freddy Krueger, who, like most 80's horror villains, only seems to stalk teenagers who are in danger of copulating. Join Master Pancake as they riff apart this creepy nail biter. (John Erler).

Actual showtime is 7:15 PM, but the Alamo frowns on saving seats ... so ... if you plan on going please show up early.

Sorry for the short notice, but the organization of the group has just recently changed hands.

If I can get a small number of committed RSVPs I'll check into reserving the balcony. Otherwise, we'll just plan for the main theater.

Anywho, hope your plans allow for this one.

If there's interest after the show we can go somewhere near ( Iron Cactus ? ) for a beverage to discuss the film.

Hope to see you there.

The Warriors is Walter Hill at the top of his game. Show starts at 7pm, so we'll meet at 6pm to get seats together. Hope you can make it. Usual links below:

There is ONLY ONE MOVIE that captures the sweaty, gravel-n'-blood desperation of late '70s New York street gangs, blasting open the seedier side of youth culture with a rampaging action adventure like nothing else you'll ever see. And that American goddamn classic is clearly THE WARRIORS. I don't even need to tell you the plot of the movie, but I will anyway because just writing about it gets me PUMPED. A powerful underworld leader calls a summit of every gang in New York, but is brutally assassinated before he can bring them together against the police. The blame is wrongly placed on iron-willed, pure-hearted Coney Island rumblers The Warriors, and they've got to run for their lives to make it home by daybreak. On their way through subway tunnels and darkened alleys, they'll face an impossible gauntlet of cops, face-painted maniacs, rollerskating switchblade slashers, spastic skinheads and countless other urban terrors. Dress up as your favorite gang, wrap a chain around your knuckles and come out and play-ee-yay with the cold-blooded gutter soldiers of the Alamo Drafthouse at this big-screen presentation of Hollywood's greatest action film of the '70s: THE WARRIORS!

FANTASTIC FEST presents an AUSTIN SCHOOL OF FILM fundraiser event
A special NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE of the long-awaited goreblaster...
CABIN FEVER 2!!!

With special live guests
Rider Strong
Rusty Kelley
Marc Senter
Noah Segan
...plus producer Lauren Moews!

Following the events in Eli Roth's midnight hit CABIN FEVER, CF2 picks up with a truck full of tainted water bottles heading straight for the local high school (on prom night!). Fan favorite Deputy Winston (Giuseppe Andrews) is back to stop the shipment from coming in, any way he can.

CF2 take us into a world of that has timeless quality, incorporating elements of modern day, the '80s and even the '70s (complete with a disco prom!) You'll be reminded of the camp of John Waters, the '80s teen school aesthetic of BETTER OFF DEAD and the outrageously fountainous gore of EVIL DEAD II. In the same way that film took the EVIL DEAD franchise and pushed it into a more slapstick, comedy-based plateau, CABIN FEVER will tear your head off just before you laugh yourself to death.

This one's not just for horror fans, but for cult movie freaks of all kinds, the ultimate post-modern teen gutbuster of the current millennium. Do not miss it.

All proceeds from this show go to Austin's most beloved non-profit film resource, AUSTIN SCHOOL OF FILM.

Special thanks to Lions Gate Films.

It's a free movie, with Kung Fu, in 3D, say no more. We'll meet at 9pm for a 10pm start as this will fill up.

Please note: while the movie is free, the 3D glasses will cost you $1. We recommend them highly. Also, due to the technical requirements of showing 3D in 35mm, this screening will be at Lamar. REVENGE OF THE SHOGUN WOMEN is one of the few 3D kung fu movies. Like most films of the 3D mini-boom in the late '70s and early '80s, it really goes all out to throw things at you. The mind boggles. That means you can be sitting comfortably in your theater chair and at the same time besieged by flying hands, feet, knees, forearms, nunchakus, throwing stars, swords, staffs, garden implements, hammers, fans, flails, whips, needles, spears, hooks, arrows, tridents and more. Do you think you can handle all that? If not, better stay home!
