5/30 Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill!
Big opening series night for what John Waters calls "beyond a doubt, the
best movie ever made". Russ Meyer's black and white classic stars Tura
Satana in her legendary role of Varla. This feature will be preceded by a
Tura Satana look-a-like contest hosted by Peaches Christ and the fabulous
Lady Miss Lana. Prizes still to be announced.
6/6 Showgirls
Starring "Saved by the Bell's" Elizabeth Berkley and "Bound's" Gina
Gershon, this laugh riot chronicles the rise and fall of one incredible
dramatic Vegas showgirl. The Bridge will be decked out Vegas style for
this one with an amateur strip contest to precede the show. Winners chosen
by audience applause.
6/13 The Big Doll House
This is the Jack Hill and Roger Corman vehicle starring blaxploitation
queen Pam Grier that re-launched the genre of women-in-prison films for the
seventies. With women-in-prison being this evening's theme- look for a
"behind bars" inspired pre-show performance that will bring you to your
knees!
6/20 Female Trouble
John Waters' cult classic starring Divine follows "thief and shitkicker"
Dawn Davenport from the teen years to her final destiny with an electric
chair. This evening Peaches Christ and very special guest Deena Davenport
will audition audience members willing to undergo extensive makeovers.
Lucky winners get made-over by Deena and her Glama Rama Beauty Salon
staff, only to be paraded out at the end of the film to show off their new
outrageous looks.
6/27 Straight Jacket
The William Castle film starring Joan Crawford as an ax murderess- need we
say more? When the film was first released lucky audience members each
received bloodied cardboard axes. Well, Midnight Mass viewers too will
receive their own bloody ax. It's been rumored that Joan herself may make
an appearance. What could be more horrifying?
7/4 Who Killed Teddy Bear?
Directed by Joseph Cates, this film stars Sal Mineo. It involves an
obsessed stalker who's object of desire is a go-go dancer at 60's disco.
Because many viewers will show up just to see the "Sal Mineo sporting a
Speedo" scene we will host our own wet Speedo contest. Interested in
competing? Call Peaches but beware because she's bringing her super big
and high-powered water gun!
7/11 To Die For
In this Gus Van Sant masterpiece all Nicole Kidman wants is a little
attention and she's willing to do anything to get it. Tonight Peaches will
raffle off 15 minutes of genuine fame. Each To Die For viewer is entered
with admission into the raffle. The winner is treated like a big name
celebrity for 15 minutes. This includes hearing an audience of hundreds
chant your name, experiencing a paparazzi mob, being interviewed on-stage,
and more.
7/18 The Bad Seed
Directed by Mervyn Leroy, little Patty McCormack raises hell as a lovely
eight year old whose murderous villainy drives her innocent mother to the
brink of suicide. Tonight is kiddie night at the Bridge featuring a
carnival type lobby. Look for clowns, stilt walkers, face painting, cotton
candy, and much more. Let your wicked inner child out for one night, be
bad, and have fun.
7/25 Homicidal
This William Castle film was inspired (that's putting it nicely) by Psycho
and closes the series. It stars Jean Arless as a homicidal blonde who has
some pretty big and shocking secrets. Tonight audience members will
receive an official "Fright Coupon" they can use to get a full money refund
if they are too frightened to watch the films shocking finale. The film
will pause 5 minutes before the end and scared patrons will be instructed
to follow a yellow line on the floor to the "Coward's Corner". Also, each
patron will receive with their fright coupon a wooden "Helga Knocker" to be
used for fright relief when things get too scary. Look for a Peaches
closing night performance to follow the feature.
