We are in for a very exciting week of movies! Not only in Terror Tuesday playing a well known San Francisco based film, but the director will be at the screening in person; the Balboa Theatre's haunted ventriloquist doll double feature is happening this Wednesday; and the Roxie has been killing it with great horror movies! This is a very good week to be in horror nerd in the bay area! I was also surprised to see that AMC Van Ness make this list this week. They are screening a Korean zombie apocalypse survival movie all week. Read on to find out more.

"Two homicidal Southern California drifters (played to creepy perfection by Warren Oates and Corey Allen) wander off the beach and into the seemingly-perfect Beverly Hills home of unhappy housewife Kate Manx, in this long-lost film noir gem written & directed by The Outer Limits creator Leslie Stevens. Shot through with shimmering sexual tension and lensed in stunning B&W by master cameraman Ted McCord (The Treasure of the Sierra Madre), PRIVATE PROPERTY is both an eerie, Jim Thompson-esque thriller and a savage critique of the hollowness of the Playboy-era American Dream. When Manx, in irresistible blonde beehive and tight capri pants, purrs that she’s ready for love, her husband waves her off, muttering “Wife noises” to his buddy on the phone."
