What a way to spend $10. It was entertaining, funny, and featured of Lemmy Klimster zombie...what more can one ask for?
An existential tour de force zombie movie featuring a naked Rupert Everett (pre scary plastic surgery), that's what.
I am sold and will be at the next one of these in October. If you are old enough, pregame. It will make the experience in the line even better.
What a brilliant marriage of sex and death! J. Cannibal is a true showman and eloquently emcees the evening which consists of a mind-blowingly good band (Walter Sickert and the Army of Toys, Vagiant) playing you to your seat, a horror burlesque act or tow and a zombie costume contest. Â The films are always zombie classics that you can never get enough of (Evil Dead, Wild Zero, Cemetery Man, Dead Alive) as they were meant to be seen- on the big screen with an enthusiastic and likely drunk audience. Kudos to Boston's King of Horror for putting on such a highly anticipated event!
Review Source:If you like horror movies, zombies and metal/rockabilly bands, Feast of Flesh is the event for you. It's "Rocky Horror Picture Show" meets "Cry Baby" and "Popcorn". Â
There's even costume contests (usually zombie-related) with prizes for lots of area shops like Horror Business, Dick Blick Art Supplies, Anna's Taquiera, stuff like that. Â They'll have some local bands play, show a horror movie, have some of the hotties from Black Cat Burlesque perform....it's quite the night and worth every penny. Â :)
Every few months the Coolidge will host one of these events. The last one, sponsored by Black Ocean, and hosted by undertaker J. Cannibal, was an absolute blast.
Local band Bad Ash played, the Black Cat Burlesque performed, and a crowd of zombie afficionados enjoyed the first cut of Evil Dead.
Boston needs more nights like this--even my straight laced, wall street type sister had an awesome time. The whole night reminds me of David Spade's line from PCU: "you, in typical fashion, throw a big obnoxious party and all the freaky freakies come out of the woodwork..."
Can't wait for the next one. Â I'll take any excuse to dress up, yell, and watch a campy horror flick.
