SUMMARY:Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
DESCRIPTION:Featuring a live Zoom Q&A with Michael Rooker! \n4K Restoration! Freaky Fridays takeover! \nJohn McNaughton’s (WILD THINGS) infamous take on Henry Lee Lucas’ true crime story returns to theaters with a new 4K presentation that cements its reputation as one of the most harrowing\, original American films of all time. \nHenry (Michael Rooker\, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) is a psychopathic drifter who has coldly murdered a number of people for no particular reason and without any remorse. Leaving scores of bodies in his wake\, Henry makes his way to Chicago and settles into the rundown apartment of his drug-dealing former prison friend Otis (Tom Towles\, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES). Also moving into the space is Otis’s younger sister Becky (Tracy Arnold)\, who is fleeing from her abusive husband. Unbeknownst to Becky\, Henry continues to commit a series of random killings along with Otis\, who has quickly developed a taste for murder… \nOriginally premiering at the Chicago International Film Festival in September 1986\, the film had a long and controversial path to distribution. Saddled with the disreputable “X” rating for violence in 1989\, the film was finally released unrated in January 1990. Along with Peter Greenaway’s The Cook\, the Thief\, His Wife & Her Lover and Pedro Almodóvar’s Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!\, McNaughton’s notorious film is often-cited as the inspiration for the Motion Picture Association’s creation of the NC-17 rating. \n  \nIn September programmers Tim Anderson and Paige Babbage let the Uncomfortable Brunch team take over Freaky Fridays for a screening of Harmony Korine’s Trash Humpers in 35mm!  Now Josh and Kat are returning the favor and the Freaky Fridays team are bringing you this special screening of one of their favorite controversial masterpieces. \n  \nAbout Michael Rooker: \n \nBorn on April 6\, 1955\, in Jasper\, Alabama\, into a family of eight children\, Rooker lived in a house with a dirt floor and no indoor plumbing. As a young child\, he and a cousin would scour the ground to find bottle caps from RC Colas in order to exchange them for free admission to the local movie theater. Six bottle caps\, he once recalled\, were enough to get him a ticket. Rooker’s parents divorced when he was 12\, and the following year his mother moved with the children to Chicago\, where they lived in what Rooker describes as a rough neighborhood. Rooker has credited his hardscrabble upbringing with fostering his determination and fight to succeed as an actor. In high school\, he worked as a lifeguard at Chicago’s North Avenue Beach\, winning Rookie Lifeguard of the Year and saving some 10 people in one of his summers at the job. \nEncouraged by an instructor at Wright Junior College in Chicago to audition for admission to the prestigious Goodman School of Drama (now the Theater School of DePaul University)\, Rooker debated for two years on whether to try out and finally applied and was accepted. He graduated in 1982 and worked in the theater for several years thereafter. He later professed his love for film acting because it gave actors the chance to improvise and create\, as opposed to the rehearsed and technical nature of stage performing. He once equated film acting with being a jazz musician in its possibilities for personalizing a role. \nHis breakthrough role was the title role in John McNaughton’s low-budget cult film Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer\, which is based on the life of serial murderer Henry Lee Lucas. The film was shot in 1986 but was not released until 1990 because of continuing debate over its rating. Rooker received critical acclaim and an Independent Spirit Award for best actor in 1991 for the film. Footage from the unreleased film sent to director John Sayles led to Rooker being cast as one of the main characters in the 1988 baseball film Eight Men Out\, which was based on the game-fixing scandal of the Chicago White Sox in the 1919 World Series. Rooker has recounted the story of winning the role of Charles “Chick” Gandil by going to the town where the film was shooting\, knowing that Sayles had seen the footage of his performance in Henry\, and finagling his way into an audition. Despite getting into a shouting match with the casting director\, he still won the role. The film was critically acclaimed and widely popular at the box office\, and Rooker credits it with bringing him more opportunities\, including roles in some of the highest-grossing films of the late 1980s and the 1990s: Mississippi Burning\, Sea of Love\, Days of Thunder\, JFK\, Cliffhanger\, and Tombstone. He also appeared in Kevin Smith’s 1995 cult indie film Mallrats. \nIn addition to his film work\, Rooker has appeared on a number of popular television shows\, including Burn Notice\, Criminal Minds\, Law and Order\, and the 2006 miniseries Thief. Despite his more than 100 film and television acting credits\, however\, Rooker did not become a widely recognized figure until he was cast as Merle Dixon\, a racist southern drug addict\, in AMC’s The Walking Dead series about the zombie apocalypse. Merle Dixon and his brother Daryl struck a chord among devoted Walking Dead fans. Rooker has said that people responded to the character and the show because provided them a sense of relief and the belief that they live in a safer world. In 2011\, Merle Dixon’s popularity led Rooker to be hired as a character voice to play Merle in the Call of the Dead video game\, which is part of the Call of Duty series of games and centers on a zombie-infested future. \nRooker’s name recognition exploded internationally when he was cast as Yondu Udonta\, the blue-skinned leader of a band of space pirates in the blockbuster 2014 superhero film Guardians of the Galaxy\, one of the major installments in the Marvel Comics Cinematic Universe. He reprised his role in 2017 in Guardians of the Galaxy\, Volume 2\, and his character’s sympathetic turn and sacrificial death earned Rooker wide praise. He has continued to be a popular choice for fantasy and science fiction films\, appearing in 2019’s Brightburn and 2021’s The Suicide Squad. He also continues to appear in television and video game voice roles.

SUMMARY:The Bat Woman
DESCRIPTION:4K Restoration! \nWrestlers\, mad doctors\, and human-fish hybrids abound in The Bat Woman (La mujer murciélago)\, a colorful showcase for the talents of Italian Mexican sex symbol Maura Monti. \nWhen Acapulco’s wrestlers start being murdered and their pineal glands mysteriously extracted\, the wealthy luchadora Gloria (Monti) adopts her crime-fighting persona of the Bat Woman. Donning her disguise of shiny blue mask\, cape\, and micro-bikini\, she teams up with agent Mario (Héctor Godoy) to foil the evil Dr Williams (Roberto Cañedo) in his dastardly plan to create an army of amphibious ‘fish-men’. \nProduced by Guillermo Calderón (Santo vs. the Riders of Terror) and directed by the legendary René Cardona (Night of the Bloody Apes)\, The Bat Woman is an eye-popping\, high-camp blend of lucha libre and superhero action. \nFreaky Fridays ticket prices include a free popcorn and soda\, tea\, or lemonade for all attendees! Alcohol can be purchased at Eden Bar. Regular food service will not be available for Freaky Friday events. So\, come early\, and fuel up outside for the night ahead!

SUMMARY:Trash Humpers
DESCRIPTION:Special 15th Anniversary — 35mm Screening! \nUncomfortable Brunch take-over! \nScuzz poet Harmony Korine (Spring Breakers\, AGGRO DR1FT) takes a dumpster dive into the freakiest fringes of weirdo America with this singular paragon of pop-art transgression. Shot on appropriately grimy VHS\, TRASH HUMPERS brings us a gang of elderly degenerates who film themselves in the backlots and alleyways of Nashville\, drinking heavily\, defiling garbage and anything else at hand\, and spreading destruction wherever they go. An unclassifiable work of post-cinema that plays like the most bizarrely unsettling home movie ever uncovered in a flea-market bargain bin\, TRASH HUMPERS is graced with the strange beauty and proudly outsider spirit that runs through all of Korine’s films. \nFreaky Fridays’ programmers Tim Anderson and Paige Babbage are out of town this month\, so they’ve handed the reins over to Joshua Martin and Kat Whitacre of Uncomfortable Brunch. Combined\, they are promising you one of the most legendary evenings of cinema this year! Complete the takeover in November\, when the Freaky Fridays team takes over Uncomfortable Brunch for a screening of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer!

SUMMARY:Video Diary of a Lost Girl
DESCRIPTION:Meet the Filmmaker: Writer/director Lindsay Denniberg will be in attendance for a Q&A! \nThe feature film debut from writer-director (and University of Central Florida grads) Lindsay Denniberg and co-writer Chris Shields\, VIDEO DIARY OF A LOST GIRL is a hypercolored dreamland that combines a love for genre film history with a gorgeous handmade aesthetic. Louise (Pris McEver) works in a video store. But she’s also a demon. A descendent of biblical demon-mother Lilith\, Louise fulfills her predestined obligation to have sex with a man—and then kill him—every full moon. When she meets Charlie (Shields)\, a reincarnated partner from her past\, Louise struggles to not do what she does best. Meticulously crafted with the use of repurposed art materials and green screen\, VIDEO DIARY is a valentine to the VHS aesthetic and an exploration of personal themes via the guise of body horror. The movie was influenced by everything from LIQUID SKY to ROCKULA\, from HEATHERS to DEAD RINGERS\, resulting in an absurdist\, experimental horror-comedy that was years ahead of its time.

SUMMARY:The Films of the Gay Girls Riding Club
DESCRIPTION:The Films of the Gay Girls Riding Club \nSpearheaded by filmmaker Ray Harrison\, the Gay Girls Riding Club (GGRC) took California’s 1960s underground gay scene by storm with drag spoofs of classic Hollywood films. These pioneering DIY takes on films like WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE and ALL ABOUT EVE provide an essential snapshot of mid-century drag culture that would feel right at home with the dreamy work of Mike and George Kuchar. AGFA\, in partnership with the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project\, is thrilled to present this overlooked chapter of queer cinema—preserved from the only known 16mm film elements in existence. \nWhat Really Happened to Baby Jane? \n1963\, USA\, 31 minutes\, Directed by Ray Harrison\, Unrated \nCreated by the GGRC less than one year after the massive box office success of Bette Davis’ and Joan Crawford’s histrionic horror flick Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? One might ask the question can you out camp a camp classic!  And the answer is a resounding yes! \nAll About Alice \n1972\, USA\, 68 minutes\, Directed by Ray Harrison\, Unrated \nThe queens are back\, and this time the GGRC is setting their spicy-flair on sending up Joesph L. Mankiewicz Oscar®-winning cat-fight classic All About Eve! “Fasten your seat belts\, it’s going to be a bumpy night”. \nRestorations courtesy of the American Genre Film Archive\, UCLA Film & TV Archive and The Outfest Legacy Project.

SUMMARY:Terminal USA
DESCRIPTION:A force of nature since 1985\, underground icon Jon Moritsugu—in partnership with wife Amy Davis—creates candy-colored genre riots that feel like NC-17 sitcoms from outer space. Moritsugu’s fearless\, protopunk deconstructions function as a giant middle finger to everything from racism to gender expectations—while also exploring themes of Asian-American identity. \nHolly (Jenny Woo)\, Marvin (writer/director Jon Moritsugu)\, and Katzumi (Moritsugu again) are average Asian-American teenage siblings with not-so-average predilections for backstabbing\, kinky sex\, and drug-fueled freakouts. Neglected by their parents\, the kids turn to outside “help” (including the scene-stealing Amy Davis\, Moritsugu’s wife and longtime collaborator) in order to escape their bored existence. Naturally\, this leads to gore killings\, sex tapes\, and the most hilarious phone conversations ever captured on 16mm film. \nFunded with a $350\,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts with the intention of being distributed on PBS; Once the film was completed\, virtually no stations would dare to air it! \nA candy-colored hellscape that feels like an episode of STRANGERS WITH CANDY that was filmed by Dario Argento during a three-day acid bender\, Jon Moritsugu’s TERMINAL USA is a crucial piece of 1990s alternative cinema—smart\, shocking\, and one of the most deranged films to ever be funded by American taxpayers. This is the film HEATHERS wished it could be.

SUMMARY:Cemetery Man
DESCRIPTION:30th Anniversary Director Approved 4K Restoration. \nFrancesco Dellamorte (3-time BAFTA award nominee\, Rupert Everett) is the groundskeeper at the Buffalora cemetery where the dead just won’t stay dead—and it’s up to him to deal with those who come back to life with a hunger for human flesh. But Dellamorte’s job soon becomes much more complicated when he falls for an enigmatic young woman (Anna Falchi) whose husband has recently died.  Will his resurrected lust for life become greater than his bond with death? François Hadji-Lazaro (THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN) co-stars in the finest erotic-romantic-existential-black-comedy-zombie-gorefest of our time. \nBased on the novel by Tiziano Sclavi (DYLAN DOG) and directed by Dario Argento protégé Michele Soavi (THE CHURCH)\, CEMETERY MAN is a late masterpiece of Italian horror.

SUMMARY:Death Trip: The Films of Richard Kern
DESCRIPTION:In 1985\, the New York City ‘zine “The Underground Film Bulletin” published a manifesto credited to one “Orion Jeriko” that defined a new cinematic movement that would henceforth be know as “The Cinema of Transgression”.   The architects of this movement included a close nit group born of the lower-east side NoWave scene that included Nick Zedd (who used the alias of Jeriko to pen the article)\, poet/punk musician Lydia Lunch\, artist David Wojnarowicz\, and filmmakers Beth B\, Casandra Stark\, Tessa Hughes-Freeland\, Tommy Turner and Richard Kern.  Along for the ride were musical collaborators like Henry Rollins\, Sonic Youth and Foetus (J.G. Thrilwill).  Declaring that “nothing is sacred” they commanded that the violation of all that had come before was nothing less than the end game of their movement. \nThe Museum of Modern Art has called Richard Kern the “undisputed master of transgressive cinema: and a “hardcore social satirist”.  Kern is creator of some of most recognizable and often controversial films of the Cinema of Transgression.  Films that are at the extreme ends of a genre\, obsessed with perversion\, sadism\, and pitch black humor.  This collection of 10 films\, provided by Kern and preserved with the assistance of Anthology Film Archives and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts includes Kern’s first film Goodbye 42nd Street\, the Anthology Series Manhattan Love Suicides (with Nick Zedd) and his most controversial classic Fingered with co-creator Lydia Lunch. \nContent Warning: These films contain strong sexual content\, including violence\, nudity\, language\, and adult themes.  No one under 18 will be admitted. \n  \nGoodbye 42nd Street \n1983\, USA\, 5 minutes \nShots of walking down 42nd Street showing storefronts including everything from Texas Fried Chicken to 25 cent adult film arcades. \n  \nYou Killed Me First \n1985\, USA\, 12 minutes\, Featuring Karen Finley\, David Wojnarowicz\, Lung Leg with music by J.G.

SUMMARY:Cannibal Campout
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the Shot-on-Video era with a special VHS screening! \nJoin us for this special screening presented in conjunction with Terror Vision who will be introducing the film and hosting a table in the lobby with exclusive merchandise! \nThe late 1980s were the golden age for video rental stores\, as well as for homemade movies. Shot-on-video titles shared shelf space with Hollywood’s latest and greatest from coast to coast\, and in the midst of it all came standout Cannibal Campout from directors Tom Fisher and Jon McBride (Feeders)\, a film that pushed the boundaries of gritty realism and mind melting gore. \nAmy (Amy Chludzinski) and her friends break away from college for a weekend of camping in the peaceful New Jersey forest\, but they are not alone. Holding true to a bizarre promise to their dear\, departed mother\, a group of madmen besiege the vacationing quartet\, hellbent on torture and a feast of human flesh in Cannibal Campout.

DESCRIPTION:Shot on the sweaty backroads of Dallas and Waco\, SHE MOB is an underground miracle that feels like an alt-Earth FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! as realized by a young John Waters. Big Shim (the incredible Marni Castle in dual roles!) is the cone-bra-wearing butch leader of a wild girl gang that’s running from the law. After kidnapping a gigolo named Tony\, Shim and the girls demand a ransom from Tony’s wealthy lady keeper . . . OR ELSE!! \nProduced and directed by NBC News veteran Maurice Levy (and disavowed by his entire family)\, and featuring actresses culled from Jack Ruby’s infamous Dallas nightclub\, SHE MOB is an essential jewel in the other-dimensional vortex known as Texploitation.

SUMMARY:Robot Monster (in 3-D)
DESCRIPTION:It’s the end of the Hu-Man race as we know it! Alien visitor Ro-Man (regular gorilla impersonator George Barrows\, wearing a hairy ape suit and a deep-sea diving helmet)\, wipes out most of the Earth’s population with his “awesome calcinator death ray.” There are six survivors who have taken a neutralizing serum: a scientist\, a professor\, the professor’s wife\, and their three children. Ro-Man receives instructions from the leader of his planet\, “The Great One” (also played by Barrows)\, on how to kill the survivors\, but love gets in the way when Ro-Man falls for the professor’s comely eldest daughter. With echoes of King Kong\, Ro-Man’s lustful desire makes him want to be Hu-Man too\, and this will lead to his downfall. Made for a budget around $20\,000\, this cheapie camp classic just gets more ludicrous – and fun – with every sequence.  Part of the first wave of 3-D releases in early 1953\, Robot Monster’s excellent stereoscopic effects have been lovingly restored by 3-D Film Archive in honor of the movie’s 70th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Pride Month in the freakiest way possible\, with this overlooked\, chapter of early queer cinema! \nDropping somewhere between PINK FLAMINGOS\, BLOOD FEAST\, and an episode of THE BRADY BUNCH on acid\, SOMETIMES AUNT MARTHA DOES DREADFUL THINGS is a histrionic psychodrama that could only have originated in the alternate dimension known as Florida. After robbing a bank in Baltimore\, Paul (aka Aunt Martha) and his partner Stanley hide out in the Miami suburbs. But it’s only a matter of time before Paul’s paranoia forces him to embark on a demented killing spree. Hardly progressive\, even for its era\, the film is a remarkable curio as it was a production destined for the regional drive-in movie circuit and marketed as a crime drama.  What must audiences have thought as they watched two men (one dressed as a woman\, to avoid being recognized in public) spend 90 minutes arguing like an “old married couple” and sharing a single twin bed when there was a whole house up for grabs!?! The American Genre Film Archive is thrilled to present one of the most unforgettable exploitation movies of all time—preserved from the only 35mm theatrical print in existence.

SUMMARY:Urotsukidōji: Legend of the Overfiend
DESCRIPTION:For a long time\, Japanese animation had a bad rep in America: “those freaky violent cartoons with the schoolgirls and the tentacle monsters.” UROTSUKIDŌJI: THE LEGEND OF OVERFIEND is the film that’s largely responsible for this reputation. Hideki Takayama’s gruesome adaptation of Toshio Maeda’s horror comic had a brief stint in U.S. theaters rocking a well-earned NC-17 rating. Grim-faced and grotesque\, it’s a hellish Freudian vision of torn bodies\, and bitter pessimism. The apocalyptic film picks up just before the prophesied rise of the demon-god The Overfiend\, whose re-birth would merge the worlds of men and demons. As time of prophecy draws closer\, demons flood into the dimension of men\, throwing the Earth into a chaotic storm of sex and violence. \n  \nDue to graphic content\, including sexual assault\, no one under 18 will be admitted.

SUMMARY:Monster of Camp Sunshine
DESCRIPTION:“The motion picture that follows is a fable. In it there are many nudists but only one monster. In life\, it is generally the other way around.” \nShot by anonymous maniacs in New York\, this is a trash-art berserker that feels like what would happen if a 1980s slasher was teleported inside of a 1960s nudist film. A nurse and fashion model head to Camp Sunshine for a weekend of fun\, sun\, and cigarettes. But little do they know that Hugo\, the camp’s gardener\, has been transformed into an axe-wielding psychopath after drinking radioactive water! Combining experimental visuals with camp flair\, this is a crackpot time capsule featuring Monty Python-esque animation\, someone named Ron Cheney\, Jr.\, and\, at the end\, “a brief summary of the movie for those who wish to relive its magic moments.” Newly restored from the original 35mm negative!

SUMMARY:Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating Russ Meyer’s 100th Birthday! \nIn 1970\, Twentieth Century-Fox\, impressed by the visual zing “King of the Nudies” Russ Meyer had been bringing to bargain-basement exploitation fare\, handed the director a studio budget and the title to one of its biggest hits\, Valley of the Dolls. With a satirical screenplay by Roger Ebert\, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls follows three young female rockers (Dolly Read\, Cynthia Myers\, Marcia McBroom) going Hollywood\, in hell-bent sixties style\, under the spell of a flamboyant producer—whose decadent bashes showcase Meyer’s trademark libidinal exuberance. Transgressive and outrageous\, this big-studio version of a debaucherous midnight movie is an addictively entertaining romp from one of cinema’s great outsider artists.

SUMMARY:The Shining: Forwards and Backwards
DESCRIPTION:Immortalized in Rodney Asher’s documentary ROOM 237\, THE SHINING: FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS is a masterwork of experimental video manipulation. John Fell Ryan and Akiva Saunders’ hallucinatory palindromic love letter to Kubrick’s finely tuned symmetric compositions. Created in 2011\, Ryan explained “we put the US DVD version into Final Cut\, removed all corporate logos and leaders at the beginning\, and cut all credits at the end. The entire film image sequence was then copied\, reversed\, and superimposed over the original forwards version.” What results is a mesmerizing acid trip experience of uncanny coincidences (or perhaps like the ‘satanic panic’ of the 1980s\, secret hidden messages when played in reverse) wherein the images and themes contained in Kubrick’s film are at times contradictory and complimentary to the story being told.  In short\, this is THE SHINING as you have never seen it (or dreamed it) before. Join us on this rare journey into the literal and figurative fracturing of cinematic sanity and get ready to get freaky!

SUMMARY:Deadbeat at Dawn
DESCRIPTION:“Jim Van Bebber’s shot-on-16mm masterpiece came careening out of Dayton\, Ohio in 1988 like a runaway lawnmower blade\, setting the standard for all nihilist street-gang movies to follow. Visceral\, unspeakably violent\, and fearless\, Van Bebber could have easily lost his life making this film. You may lose yours watching it.” — Austin Film Society \nShot over the course of 4 years using his college tuition—an absolute definition of DIY filmmaking—DEADBEAT AT DAWN is a cult classic that deserves the moniker — an indie revenge movie with more thrills and bloody spills than all of Chuck Norris’ films combined. ‘80s visionary wunderkind Jim Van Bebber wrote\, directed\, did stunts and makeup FX for and starred in this raucous tale of Goose: a former gang leader whose girlfriend is slaughtered when he leaves the thug life behind. As he’s pulled back into the gang during an uneasy alliance\, Goose exacts his head-crushing revenge… You will not believe your eyes when you see Van Bebber giving 1\,000% during every frame of this film.

SUMMARY:Forbidden Zone
DESCRIPTION:During the late 70 s Richard Elfman and his younger brother Danny got together with fellow musician friends and formed a theater group known as The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo . They performed inventive and bizarre avant-garde stage shows\, written by Danny and featuring twisted versions of Cab Callaway music and original compositions (also written by Danny). Richard wanted to capture the energy of the stage shows on film\, and the end result is Forbidden Zone\, released in 1980 and featuring Danny s music with the Mystic Knights\, and one of the most twisted stories you’ll ever see in a motion picture. It involves the kooky Hercules family\, who live in a house that has a basement\, which leads into the mysterious Sixth Dimension. What follows features nearly constant musical numbers\, a dwarf king (Hervé “DA PLANE!” Villechaize)\, a giant frog butler\, the freaky introvert Chicken Boy \, and a crooning Danny Elfman as the devil himself. Take The Rocky Horror Picture Show as imagined by David Lynch and John Waters\, while smoking LSD and listening to an Oingo Boingo record. Shake well. Forbidden Zone is the flashy trashy freaky result.

SUMMARY:Nude on the Moon
DESCRIPTION:“NUDE ON THE MOON represents everything that’s perfect about American pop culture. Exploitation legend Doris Wishman’s second feature…less a movie than a catalog of pure kitsch delirium. Stupid to the point of breathtaking\, NUDE ON THE MOON is also one of the most enjoyable examples the long-extinct ‘nudie-cutie’. \nCrew-cut hunk Jeff uses a $3 million inheritance to build a spaceship for he and his pal “The Professor”. They blast off in one rocket (a little toy model)\, and land on the moon in another (also a toy model). Donning hilarious red and green pajama-like suits that make them look like wacky superheroes\, the two exit the ship to discover a Miami-like tropical paradise. And\, yes\, yes\, they also discover a nudist camp right there on the lunar surface\, populated by naked moon people. You can tell they’re moon people because they have pipe-cleaner antennas on their heads. \nThe Queen of the Moon speaks telepathically and carries a magic wand which renders humans dizzy. She’s also a dead ringer for Jeff’s secretary back home\, which\, inexplicably\, neither Jeff nor the Professor seem to notice. \nBilled here as ‘Anthony Brooks\,’ you can spot pioneering director Doris walking across the screen in the film’s very first shot!” (Frank Henenlotter)

SUMMARY:THE F13TH FAN FILM MIXTAPE
DESCRIPTION:In the 1980s and 90s\, no psychopathic maniac was more popular than Jason Voorhees. So it makes perfect sense that any kid with access to a camcorder would film their own Voorhees-inspired epic . . . even if it meant lighting themselves on fire with a homemade blowtorch. AGFA and Bleeding Skull! are proud to present THE F13TH FAN FILM MIXTAPE — an awe-inspiring compilation of the best-of-the-best in DIY Voorhees tributes from Jason’s biggest fans. Underage driving! Cameos from Michael Myers! Illegal usage of songs by The Beastie Boys! Featuring digest versions of our favorite full-length rippers\, unseen trailers\, and deranged clips\, THE F13TH FAN FILM MIXTAPE is a valentine to the greatest horror franchise in history. And also teenage lunatics everywhere.
