For me, the happiest surprise of this year's #AeroHorrorthon was the 35mm print of DESTROYER, a solid '80s supernatural slasher pic I somehow hadn't seen before. The fun cast, bonkers plot and style-on-a-budget direction give it a PRISON-meets-TRICK OR TREAT vibe. Good stuff!
The first film at tonight's #AeroHorrorthon was the crowd-pleasing A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET PART 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE. The 35mm print looked great, and the sold-out audience definitely got into the spirit of this fun franchise sequel.
The fifth film at the #AeroHorrorthon was DESTROYER, an obscure 1988 prison-set thriller with echoes of Shocker and The Horror Show. Seeing this entertaining oddity in 35mm was a treat!
The sixth film at the #AeroHorrorthon was the 1976 TV movie THE SAVAGE BEES, my favorite entry in the killer bee craze! And now, as the remaining crowd stumbles bleary-eyed from the theater at 6:40 a.m., we give thanks to @am_cinematheque for another memorable horrorthon.
Now seated for tonight's 12-hour, all-night #AeroHorrorthon! The six titles are being kept secret, so we won't know what we're seeing until each film hits the screen. But I trust the folks at @am_cinematheque to deliver the gory goods. Hoping for a few vintage 35mm prints!
I revisited the wild 1982 TV movie WILL: G. GORDON LIDDY last night. I'd forgotten it starred Danny Lloyd, two years after THE SHINING, as the young, rat-eating Liddy. Robert Conrad is unhinged in one of the strangest, most psychologically twisted self-portraits ever broadcast.

Thank You Matthew
Just when I thought I couldn't love @TulsaKing more than I already do, the great @RobertJohnDavi unexpectedly shows up in the Season 4 premiere and pulls a severed head out of a bowling ball bag in a scene reminiscent of Cimino's YEAR OF THE DRAGON. Hope we see more of Turco!

I'm about to enjoy a narrow-gauge monster rally at the @ArchivesClub microcinema, featuring FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN and HOUSE OF DRACULA both screening in 16mm!

Terrific to meet @MatthewChernov in Lone Pine last weekend! My favorite thing about festivals (and cruises!) is the great people.
#LonePineFilmFestival
It was a treat to wrap up this year's #LonePineFilmFestival by meeting classic movie blogger extraordinaire @LaurasMiscMovie, who was kind enough to snap this striking pic of me setting up a comparison shot. Same time next year, Laura!

A peek at the adorable #LonePine street parade, signalling the end of another film festival. Thanks to all who made this such a lovely weekend.
It's the final day of the #LonePineFilmFestival, and I toured locations from the 1951 Western thriller RAWHIDE! Here are several comparison shots showing how things looked 75 years ago and how they look today. (1/4)
For classic movie fans looking to visit the locations where their favorite Westerns were shot, you can't beat the #LonePineFilmFestival. (4/4)
