Hey Chicago! Wanna Get Massacred By Linnea Quiggley And Jack Hill?

One of Chicago's longest running horror movie marathons is back and we have two pairs of admit two tickets to giveaway. The show is going to be great. Linnea Quiggley will be on hand for a special screening of Return of the Living Dead (1985). But the big news for me is the presence of legendary horror/exploitation filmmaker Jack Hill and the special screening of his cult classic Spider Baby (1968)! If you've never seen Spider Baby there's really no preparing yourself. The film stars Lon Chaney Jr. as the caretaker of a bizarre and savage young family  that includes Sid Haig in one of his earliest roles. Whether you find it disturbing, funny, or a metaphor for our current national identity, you will be wildly entertained. Make sure to get on youtube and learn the words to the theme song so you can sing-a-along.

In addition, a late-night pristine 35mm print of Hausu (1977) will be presented under the auspices of Chicago Cinema Society.

As usual there will also be a ton of other films and shorts, vintage trailers, a lobby full of vendors, a Zombie Make-Up Station, and a live charity auction for aids help organization Vital Bridges.
