Coming This October...

I have good news for you if you live in the Boston area...OR if you feel like driving to the Boston area. About 2 blocks away from my apartment is the Coolidge Corner Theater.

An amazing little independent theater that showcases independent movies, good movies, and best of all--wonderful midnight showings of some of the most spectacular movies out there.

This October, I have teamed up with The Coolidge Corner Theater in order to promote the great events happening throughout the month. These won't kick off officially till October begins but I figured it best to start letting people know ahead of time and also letting you know how my blog will be celebrating and bringing you the happenings all at once. It might get a little intense, it might get a little bit messy. But here goes.

Nightmares on Harvard Street

The Films of Wes Craven

Almost every Friday and Saturday night in October at 12 AM that's right, MIDNIGHT, The Coolidge Corner theater will be showing a Wes Craven film. Every week I will be writing a post coinciding with the movie that is being shown that week. This means double the underwear because it's going to be double the excitement. The schedule is as follows.

October 1st and 2nd: SCREAM

October 8th and 9th: THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS

October 15th and 16th (Weekend off non Wes Craven...) ALIEN

October 22nd and 23rd: A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET

October 29th: THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW

Tickets are priced at 9.75 for these midnight showings and all prints are 35 mm. I can think of few other people I would want to spend October with than Wes Craven, and so should you.

Halloween Horror Movie Marathon

Now for the REALLY exciting stuff. Starting on October 30th at Midnight and going until Noon on Sunday is the Halloween Horror Movie Marathon. For $20 you get to enjoy 12 nonstop hours of horror. Come see Hausu (House) and Re-Animator on the big screen. Be apart of history as a real psychic does a live spiritual reading for an audience of 400 people. Experience Devilicia and Black Cat Burlesque and hear the vibrant sound of the Dick Panthers. Aside from House and Re-Animator there will also be 4 other films shown that you'll have to see for yourself.

Tickets are $20 or $15 if you just want to see House and Re-Animator.

Out of money? Fear not because I will be giving away 10 FREE TICKETS to the horror marathon right here on this blog. The contest will start October 1st with details to follow. Keep checking back here for more info and fun stuff as the events gets closer and closer to happening.

The Results Are In! Winners and Answers to The Ultimate Screen Grab Challenge!

Well that's it kids. 6 o'clock has come and gone and with a total of 14 entries and some contestants with really good eyes and evidently, thinking caps--we have come to the winners.

1st Place: THE MIKE! With a whopping 27 correct! Nice job The Mike- I was very amazed you got some of the these because they were HARD. Seriously great job! You win John Carpenter's Master of Fear Collection and another prize that you will get hopefully soon!

2nd Place: Emily Cline (which I hope is my super commenter Emily C?) with 17 correct answers! Great job. Especially on a few of those which no one else was able to get. You win the Shallow Grave DVD and a $10 gift card to Amazon! Congrats!

3rd Place: Was a tie between Rob and Dorian Gray who both got 10 correct. I'm not sure how to handle ties so I made Emmy Doomas pick out of a hat and Dorian's name was picked! But since I love you both, Dorian will get the copy of a Carnivore's Inquiry and the amazon card and Rob will just get the amazon card (I only have one book guyz). Congrats to you both!

Honorable Mention goes to Chuck Conry who guessed All Dogs Go to Heaven for picture number 20, who will receive a cyber pat on the back.

And now the moment you've all been waiting for.....THE ANSWERS!
