The Innkeepers in 35mm Tonight at Back Alley Film Series!

The Innkeepers tonight at Back Alley Film Series!

Charlotte, NC –Our good friends at the Back Alley Film Series in Charlotte are hosting a screening of Ti West’s The Innkeepers in 35mm. The film starts at 7:30pm at the Carolina Cinemas Crownpoint.

“Hey Mutanville fans … tomorrow night (March 1st, 2012) at 7:30 PM BAFS brings you a good old fashioned ghost story! Ti West’s The Innkeepers. 1 screening only and in 35mm. Hope to see you there!”

After over one hundred years of service, The Yankee Pedlar Inn is shutting its doors for good. The last remaining employees -Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy) – are determined to uncover proof of what many believe to be one of New England’s most haunted hotels. As the Inn’s final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage “ghost hunters” begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel’s long unexplained history.

Nightbreed Director’s Cut to Screen at Mad Monster Party this March!

Nightbreed Director's Cut to Screen at Mad Monster Party this March!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CLIVE BARKER’S (3 HOUR!) NIGHTBREED DIRECTOR’S CUT AT MAD MONSTER PARTY!

Clive Barker’s Nightbreed, one of the most fan adored monster movies of all time is available for the first time in a never before seen 3 hour long director’s cut at the Mad Monster Party on Saturday March 24th, 2012. In addition to this special rare event Nightbreed stars Craig Sheffer and Anne Bobby (marking their very first convention appearance) will be in attendance for a Q&A
session following the screening and will be signing autographs in the dealer room throughout the weekend.

Mark Miller, Hellraiser comic writer, and Nightbreed expert will also be on hand to introduce the film on behalf of Clive Barker and share some insights into Barker’s vision for the future of Nightbreed.

Join Mad Monster Party to champion the cause and be a part of the growing movement to give the Director’s cut of this beloved film its much deserved special edition DVD/Blu-Ray release. We’re doing our part by sharing this cut and conducting panels which will explain the great opportunities fans will have to offer their support. Many thanks to Nightbreed distributor and owner Morgan Creek for giving us their blessing to show the film. They will be watching, with interest, for audience and fan reaction so let’s show them how much we want this to happen.

Once again, THIS VERSION HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE. Pulling from three separate cuts of the film, and working closely with Nightbreed’s original director of photography Robin Vidgeon, Clive Barker’s team at Seraphim Films has assembled a composite that will be the most complete version of the film that has ever been shown.

Come show your support. As a work in progress, it is possible that you may never again get to see this version of Clive Barker’s masterpiece Nightbreed, as it was always meant to be seen.

Get the full rundown after the leap! Continue Reading…
