This will be a special night celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Ashland Elks. The entire population of Southern Oregon is invited but due to fire restrictions only the first 299 people will be allowed to through the doors. Please bring a tasty dish for a nummy-num pot luck dinner. It's delish. Bring your most abysmal and atrocious old videos to give away as door prizes. The main feature will be the Oregon premier of "The Catskill Chainsaw Redemption." The Bad Film Society has obtained the film directly from the filmmakers J.R. Havlan and Matt Unger. Havlan is a writer for "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and the bestseller, "America (the book)." The film is the story of a chainsaw-wielding maniac who goes on an unexpected odyssey of self-discovery. After a lifetime of cutting people open, can he finally learn what they're really like inside? The Killer is played by Kevin VanHentenryck, the star of the cult film "Basket Case." Although it is unimaginable that this film will ever to be commercially released, it has been hailed at several film festivals around the world. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Other special treats include the best part of "Just Imagine," a loony 1930 film about going to Mars in 1980 and "Duck and Cover" where Bert the Turtle teaches kids what to do if the atomic bomb is dropped. Also up is the electrifying final chapter of the 1936 serial, "Undersea Kingdom" starring Crash Corrigan and Lon Chaney, Jr. featuring robots, spiked tanks and ray guns in the Lost City of Atlantis. A spectacular climax!
