Community Event #3: All About Evil, SF Premier

On May 1st I attended the world premier of "All About Evil" at the Castro Theater in SF. The movie was directed by Joshua Grannell, aka Peaches Christ, and stars Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Dekker, Cassandrea Peterson (aka Elvira), and Mink Stole.

What made this horror/comedys premier different than others was the live stage show which segued into the showing of the moving. Most premiers have an introduction of the film followed by the screening and the director and actors there to answer questions, make comments, etc, at the end. All About Evils premier featured an introduction of to almost all the stars, including (but not starring) John Waters who was seated in the crowd, followed by several live performances. Featuring a great sound track of several Bay Area post-punk bands and artists, the movie blends Dead Alive type gore, John Waters humor and Argento/Savini type death scene concepts into a well executed midnight movie sure to be a cult classic!

I thought this segue was particularly great! ...also check out the trailer on youtube...
