This '50s era sci-fi horror parody was actually just made last year. It Is a brilliantly detailed ode and homage to the long forgotten style of bad films we love so much. It lovingly captures the magic of that whole kooky pre-digital special effects and hokey costumed penny-a-prop look. There's nothing missed from the clich�d bohemian love dance by a sultry beatnik babe, to the dialog that's perfectly redundantly hysterical, to the man in a cheesy three eyed monster suit dragging the American-ad personification of housewife - who has fainted (natch) - through the woods. Plus space ships, stranded aliens and, of course, a creepy skeleton! This is the best intentionally bad film ever. Also up is the ninth 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. The event takes place downstairs at the Ashland Elks. There will be a deliciously grotesque potluck dinner followed by delightfully preposterous cinema. Bring your ludicrous old videos to give away as door prizes!
