This Tuesday night I have the pleasure of co-hosting Junk Food Dinner movie night at the Project Parlor bar in Brooklyn. They do a double feature of classic cult cinema every other Tuesday. I picked Slime City, obviously to help get everyone hyped for the Slime City Massacre DVD Release Party we are hosting here at FP on Friday and Mark picked Blood Freak, probably cause he has a turkey fetish.
Slime City -1988- Directed by Greg Lamberson – Slime, Booze, and Broads… What more could you ask for? Murder, of course.
Blood Freak – 1972 – Directed and Written by Brad Grinter and Steve Hawkes – Bikers, drugs and Science… What else you say? More murder!
Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
