Monster Monday Movie Mash
Something has been awaken in the cinema.
From the depths of dusty film cans, late-night television broadcast, forgotten drive-ins and questionable basements… the monsters are returning, one by one.
Movie Monster Mash is a cinematic ritual devoted to the glorious age of monsters, mostly from before 1970, and occasionally after, if the creature insists.
Every Monday night we summon all vampires, mutants, swamp creatures, radioactive nightmares, gothic specters, and all the beautiful horrors that crawled out of the golden age of monster movies.
Before the screening begins, we enter a one-minute meditation guided by the sacred mantra of heavy metal to properly align mind, body and monster spirit. Then the lights go down.
Grab a drink. Take a seat. Eyes wide open.
