Happy Friday guys! It's almost the end of the month, which means the last Sunday of the month is almost here... and that means the second ever Video Vortex will be screening in just a couple of days! But for those who want something cool to play tonight, check out Midnites for Manics, which will be a triple feature happening, for the first time, at the Drafthouse. But that's not all this weekend has in store; it's also surprisingly musical, but you must read on.

"Apathetic gym teacher Freddy Shoop (Mark Harmon) is ready to take the summer off in Hawaii, but he's forced to either teach summer-school English or risk losing his tenure. Now he's stuck teaching a group of unmotivated students as disappointed to be stuck in school over the summer as he is. But with the help of a friendly history teacher (Kirstie Alley), Shoop is at least learning how to act the part of supportive mentor and perhaps even learning something about himself as well."

But their reputation is at risk when a ski school of snobs -- headed by pompous and preppy Reid Janssens (Mark Thomas Miller) -- shows up looking to win the end-of-season downhill competition. Now, the stakes have never been higher because, if Section 8 is beaten, they'll lose more than bragging rights. They'll also lose their jobs."

Now it's 1990, and Ralph is determined to break the cycle of reincarnation and death. But, before he can think about saving Mona's life, his first order of business is winning her affections.

"This is the movie that you were never meant to see. Shot on Super 8 in the back alleys of London and completely unreleased to this day, BLOODSTREAM is the DAVID HOLZMAN’S DIARY of D.I.Y. trash-horror. When filmmaker Alistair’s latest slasher -- also called BLOODSTREAM -- is rejected by a scumbag producer, all seems lost. But when Alistair finds out that the rejection was a ruse to cut him out of the profits, he does what any self-respecting weirdo would do -- he dons a skull mask, calls himself The Angel Of Death, and embarks on a revenge-fueled bloodbath!!"
