THE DEADLY SPAWN (1983) — Friday Night WTF — $5!
October 3 : 9:30 pm – 11:00 pm
Friday Night WTF screenings are cheap, weird, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night.
“Nonstop entertainment and ridiculously impressive…as regional sci-fi horror films with practical effects go, this film is damn near Citizen Kane!” – MondoChaos
What’s better than watching a movie with a vagina-shaped alien dismembering humans in a basement during a thunderstorm? Nothing! When a fallen meteorite unleashes carnivorous beastoids in New Jersey, no one is safe. Grandmas, horror-obsessed kiddies and anything with a heartbeat is fair game for this unstoppable eating machine and its leech-like minions. Crammed with ambition, volcanic gore, unbelievable creature FX and a wicked E.C. Comics-like tone, THE DEADLY SPAWN builds a special self-contained universe with ties to rational thought. If D.I.Y. backyard horror perfection existed, this movie would eat it for breakfast.
