"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! 96min. 35mm.

9:45pm Carrie – (1976)
Directed by Brian DePalma
Containing: Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, 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! 98 min. 35mm.

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! 90min. 35mm.
