"ARE YOU GOIN' TO PROM?"
Triple Feature
Friday, APRIL 13TH, 2007
at The Castro Movie theatre
in San Francisco, CA.
7:30pm Pretty
In
Pink – (1986)
Directed by Howard Deutch, Written by John Hughes.
Containing: Molly Ringwald, John Cryer, Andrew McCarthy, James Spader, Andrew “Dice” Clay, Kristy Swanson, Gina Gershon & Harry Dean Stanton.
We
kick our
Prom Night
off with
that ancient
80’s
battle: The
Yuppies vs.
The New Wavers.
As the kooky
Duckman does
his best
to win the
heart of
fellow off-beat,
post-punker
Andie, the “major
appliance” Blaine
attempts
to prove
that there’s
more to yuppie-love
than hawt
cars & blonde
bimbos. With
the red-headed
charm of
Ringwald,
the dramatic
romanticism
of Cryer,
and the soft-spoken
words of
McCarthy
(not to mention
the sleeze-drenched
scenes of
Spader-man),
nothing captures
late-80s
High Skool
Hollywood
better than
this. And
beware, there’s
gonna be
some ‘80s
Teen-trailers
that will
be as much
fun as the
feature!

DePalma
Containing:
Sissy
Spacek,
Piper
Laurie,

Nancy
Allen,
John
Travolta,
P.J.
Soles
Combining
female
empowerment,
witch
mythology,
young
adult
novels & some
good
ol'’ fashioned
T&A,
Stephen
King's
first
novel
makes
for the
perfect
big screen,
blood-drenched,
fright-fest.
Carrie
White's
(Spacek)
good-natured
innocence
is put
to the
ultimate
test
by the
most
deliciously
mean-spirited
teenagers
you ever
did see.
Even
with
the help
of her
Gym teacher & “The
Greatest
American
Hero” (Katt),
Carrie's
nightly
battles
with
her over-bearing
mother
(Laurie) & the
random
cruelty
from
principals & neighborhood
boys
punctuates
just
how hellish
High
Skool
truly
is.Come
on
out
and
support
poor “Creepy
Carrie” from
all
the
meanies
in
the
world!

Prom
Night – (1980)
Directed
by Paul
Lynch
Containing Jamie Lee Curtis, Leslie Nielsen, Casey Stevens, Anne Marie-Martin
We
round
out
the
night
with
this
Canadian
knockoff
of
John
Carpenter’s
Halloween,
which
packs
quite
a punch
with
it's
ominous
camera
angles,
brutal
deaths
and
bitchin’ soundtrack.
As
the
teens
are
hunted
down
by
an
axe-wielding
maniac
for
a childhood
crime
they
all
committed,
Jamie
Lee
Curtis
will
be
awarded
(by
me)
the
Prom
Queen
crown
for
being
totally
sexy
and
for
her
show-stopping
Disco
dancing
routine.
Here’s
your
chance
to
see
a true
Stalker
classic
before
the
official
remake
disgraces
theatres
later
this
year.
Plus,
there’s
gonna
be
some
killer
trailers
from
obscure
Stalker
films
before
the
film!
