Hey on the Upper West Side in Manhattan, at the Makor Film Center next
Saturday, April 22, there's a special double bill of Zombie's awesome
retro exploitation horror comedies House of 1000 Corpses and The
Devil's Rejects. Also, it will feature a Q&A with Ken Foree from The
Devil's Rejects, who you might (and should) remember as Peter, the
male lead from Romero's original Dawn of the Dead.
Here's more info, sounds awesome:
A ROB ZOMBIE DOUBLE FEATURE
POST-SCREENING DISCUSSION WITH ACTOR KEN FOREE
Sat Apr 22 / 8 PM / $20 (includes discussion)
HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES (2003) / THE DEVIL'S REJECTS (2005)
Heavy metal rocker turned genre auteur Rob Zombie has become America's
most skilled neo-exploitation filmmaker. With tongue firmly in cheek,
Zombie offers this gruesome twosome: a diabolical
avant-haunted-house-slasher flick and an unexpectedly gonzo,
Peckinpah-ish vengeance western, featuring the same characters in two
very different American film genres. Bring a strong stomach and an
open mind and settle in for a night of magnificent mayhem.
Following the film is a discussion with actor Ken Foree, who portrays
Charlie Altamont in The Devil's Rejects. Ever since his breakout
leading role as Peter Washington in George A. Romero's indelible Dawn
of the Dead, Foree has been something of a cult phenomenon. His
subsequent appearances in Romero's Knightriders and Stuart Gordon's
From Beyond, have solidified him as a veritable horror movie icon.
