H.G. Lewis—The Wizard of Gore—does Mother Goose (hopefully not literally, but, who knows?)! Ed Wood's BRIDE OF THE MONSTER! Cathie Lee Crosby as WONDER WOMAN! Nilbog is goblin spelled backwards—why is the movie called TROLL 2?!
Really, how could I not go? =)
Please don't let me die in vain, tho. Visit my Watch-A-Thon sponsorship page and make a (wholly tax deductible!) donation to the Brattle in my name. Thank you! =)
Tonight's line-up...
SHANTY TRAMP (1967) The town tramp prefers her black neighbor to the sleazy advances of a local evangelist. Tragedy ensues! A low-rent Florida production by the legendary schlock producer K. Gordon Murray.
TROLL 2 (1990) A young boy moves with his family to the town of Nilbog. Can he save his family from being turned into plants and solve the mind-bending puzzle behind the town's name before it is too late? The Citizen Kane of bad movies (and not actually a sequel).
WONDER WOMAN (1974) The little-seen original pilot episode of the classic 70s TV series! Featuring Cathie Lee Crosby as Wonder Woman.
BARB WIRE (1996) Pamela Anderson's unexpectedly entertaining starring debut. Is it really a sci-fi variation on CASABLANCA? Believe it!
JOYSTICKS (1983) Sex-crazed teenagers band together to save their local video arcade.
POOR PRETTY EDDY (1975) A homicidal Elvis impersonator kidnaps a black lounge singer (Leslie Uggams) for his own sick enjoyment. Shelly Winters looks on.
THE MAGIC LAND OF MOTHER GOOSE (1967) The Wizard of Gore himself, Herschell Gordon Lewis, attempted this attempt at children's entertainment and failed spectacularly.
BRIDE OF THE MONSTER (1955) No schlocky marathon would be complete without an offering from the inimitable Edward D. Wood Jr.
THE TERROR OF TINY TOWN (1938) Let's face it: Midgets acting like cowboys is hilarious. A true classic of the genre.
In addition to these rarely-screened, one-of-a-kind films, attendees can expect complimentary snacks, trivia prizes and more!
Don't cry for me... I'm already dead...

Keep on keepin on~
