LOCATION: The Secret Movie Club Theater, 1917 Bay Street, 2nd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90021

*Please note entrance/parking is actually in the back of the building. Make a right on Wilson Street, then a right behind the building. We’re the first set of black steps after the big gate.

7:30pm Resistance Comedy Show: Halloween Horror Edition!

8:50pm PATRICK STILL LIVES (1980, dir. Mario Landi, Italy, 92mns, 35mm) *Re-dubbed live by members of the Resistance and Special Guests

[WARNING: This movie contains graphic scenes of Italian schlock sex, sexual assault with a flying poker, and just really bad gore and horror. The Resistance will be live re-dubbing it. But you best come prepared to see things you can’t unsee.]

Okay. If you’ve been to one of these shows, you know they’re hilarious. Our favorite improv comedy troupe The Resistance (https://resistancecomedy.com/) joins us for a double header of hilarity.

First up, the Resistance sets up residence in our huge back room, asks for suggestions, and will improv a hilarious horror movie, live, based on your suggestions at the beginning.

Then after a 20 minute intermission, we move into the main theater where we run a 35mm print of 1980 Italian schlock horror jaw dropper Patrick Still Lives about a boy who comes out of a coma after a car accident and uses his newly found psychic powers to brutally kill folks.

The Resistance have their work cut out for them as they try to make a scene of a flying fire poker sexually assaulting and then killing a character (the actor complained the director always loved to film such scenes in the winter when everything was really cold) into something...acceptable?

These nights have always been a blast with the ridiculously talented (and increasingly well-known) members of the Resistance always bringing the comedy heat and fun.

So join us for a night of comedy. . .Halloween edition!

Best always,
