Lucio Fulci Triple Feature This Thursday in CA!
The Silent Movie Theatre’s Zombies, Zombies, Zombies festival, co-hosted by BC and Bloody-Disgusting, is sadly coming to a close. But Cinefamily has saved the best for last: a Lucio Fulci TRIPLE FEATURE!!! Fulci’s unofficial trilogy of zombie awesomeness: The Beyond, Gates of Hell, and of course Zombie (aka Zombi 2), will be screening this Thursday (October 30th) at the theater, located at Fairfax and Melrose in Los Angeles. Plus, BC will be on hand to chat a bit about the movies and, as always, give away free DVDs to B-D readers! Keep reading for more info and how you can score FREE passes to the event! 
The zombie–a real Romero zombie, not the voodoo kind–is the first new monster in decades that has captured the public imagination with the same kid of archetypal recurrence as werewolves and vampires, rising up again and again. It’s a modern, urban terror; humans aren’t necessarily supposed to be surrounded by millions of other humans. What if these faceless hordes of people of people we have to deal with, packed into one location, all mindlessly turned on each other? On us? But the zombie-take-all scenario isn’t just a fear–it’s a fantasy too, exposing our secret desire to guiltlessly blow away row after row of hungry, stupid humanoids, with no repercussions. When is it gonna be most okay to shoot someone in the head? In the zombie apocalypse, that’s when.

The Silent Movie Theatre, located on 611 N Fairfax (at Melrose), is the only still operating silent movie theater in the US, but also has new sound/projection to offer a quality film experience.
1995’s pumpkinhead scarecrow is back in the sequel Jack-O 2, and filmmaker Fred Olen Ray (Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, Evil Toons) has unveiled the first trailer.
Ray writes and directs the sequel.
“JACK-O 2 pushes our characters—and our audience—to the edge while honoring the outrageous spirit of the original,” says Ray. “It’s a return to practical, in-your-face horror filmmaking.”
The original film introduced its killer pumpkinhead scarecrow as he was summoned on Halloween night to seek vengeance on behalf of a warlock. The new trailer continues the Halloween murder and dark wizardry exploits.
Genre stalwarts Sybil Danning (Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf), Richard Gabai (Demon Wind), Sushii Xhyvette Holder (Naked Cannibal Campers), Martin Nicholas (The Alien Dead), and Annah Arias star.
“My passion springs from the heyday of the 1970s drive-in movie theater where I thrilled to great homegrown exploitation movies like Slithis, Death Curse of Tartu , and Gator Bait,” noted Ray. “When I began my career, it was in movies like Shock Waves and my swamp epic The Alien Dead starring serial legend Buster Crabbe. I have long awaited a return to the genre I love so much, and now Jack-O 2 is my chance.”
Ray will produce alongside Sean Donohue, with original Jack-O director Steve Latshaw and exploitation maven William Grefé (Mako: The Jaws of Death) executive producing.
There’s no official release date yet, so stay tuned.
