Yes, this is a the kind of Friday I like to see: one with plentiful horror and genre film playing all over the bay area! We have two new movies coming to theatres in the San Francisco area, one of which was a last minute addition to Monday's Screenings in the Bay post. The Endless will be at the Alamo Drafthouse starting tonight and will be playing into next week! I'd recommend catching it this weekend if possible, because the showtimes are much earlier next week. And if you took my advise and got tickets for the 7:30 show, you'll also get to see an intro by directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, as well as a Q&A. There are still tickets left for the 10:15pm show, which will also be introduced by the pair.
But what if I'm not into movies about cults?? Well, Midnites for Maniacs also has something going on tonight! They've teamed up with Spoke Art once more to present the 4K restoration of Dead Man, AND give attendees the opportunity to buy the limited run of the print shown below. There are only 100 of these printed! And be sure to stick around at the Roxie afterwards so you can catch the only screening of Vampire Clay that they have scheduled! It looks insane!
