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.

There are no hard facts out there – only specualtion – but one can hope that the seminal horror magazine has not closed it’s doors forever. Stay tuned to Mutantville.com for another Fangoria Unboxing video to celebrate the horror goodness that Fangoria has brought us over the years.

While the phrase “grand-guignol” has become commonplace in describing anything bloody or gory, its origin has its roots in an almost forgotten theater at the end of one of Paris’ alleyways. This theater, which started out life as a Catholic church, became famous for showing blood, guts, dismemberment, thrown eyeballs, acid burned faces, and severed tongues.
The Théâtre du Grand-Guignol (literally, The Theatre of the Large Puppet) was born in a part of town well-known for its roughnecks and whores in 1897. By the time it closed its doors for good in 1962 it had entertained hundreds of thousands of people and had a lasting influence on the worlds of literature, art, film, and theater.
The theater did not start out with the blood and guts, but was a theater dedicated to showing reality; taking its stories from the local papers. The theater had been running for several years before it hit on the formula of turning the most salacious stories into popular plays. Once they began with murder and rape, their popularity soared.
