WEEKEND VIRTUAL CINEMA! NEON MARQUEE PRESENTS FRANKENHOOKER (1990) AND HOUSE OF WAX (1953) + THE FLY (1958)

Halloween is on the way so we’re diving into a cult fave and some Vincent Price greatness to mark the occasion!

First up on Friday Oct 22nd tune in at 9pm EST for FRANKENHOOKER (1990) where a New Jersey mad doctor (James Lorinz) rebuilds his girlfriend (Patty Mullen) with exploded body parts in a movie that infamously boasted a glowing recommendation from Bill Murray on it's poster! Shot on the grimy streets of pre-Bloomberg New York City it was awarded the B Movie of the Year by E! Entertainment News in 1990.

Plays with a short retro NYC themed horror trailer pre-show!

Stream via Facebook Live at 9pm EST Fri 10/22 HERE

And on Sunday Oct 24th at 7pm EST, we’re taking it back to the 50s with a Vincent Price Double Feature of HOUSE OF WAX (1953) + THE FLY (1958)! The man with a face and voice synonymous with horror chills stars in both, with HOUSE OF WAX originally released in 3D, itself a remake of 1933’s MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM. After intermission, stick around for the kitschy terror of THE FLY. An absolute classic, it spawned sequels and remakes after it left it’s iconic mark on cinema history.

Stream via Facebook Live at 9pm EST Sun 10/24 HERE

WEEKEND VIRTUAL CINEMA: BODACIOUS TURTLE SPECIAL!

We’re diving head first into the sewers for a Friday night NINJA TURTLES SPECIAL!

Load up on pizza and soda (as any Turtle fan would) like school’s out, the weekend’s here and you’ve got no homework to distract you! For the evening’s entertainment, we’ll be presenting a Double Feature of ‘TURTLE TRACKS’, the original 1987 Pilot Episode of the animated series that kicked off the Turtles mainstream pop culture rise as part of a five part mythology origin story. Following that will be the beloved 1990 classic TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: THE MOVIE, still the original and the best of all the big screen outings!

On top of that it’s a lineup of Turtle clips, toy ads, music videos and much more before and between the features!

Stream via our Twitch Livestream at 8pm EST Fri April 4/16 HERE

Stream via our Twitch Livestream at 7:30pm EST HERE

Fri March 19th 7:30pm (EST)
CHOPPING MALL (1986)
It's the mall of the future with three security robots turning maniacal, and on a killing spree against a group of teenage employees who stay behind at work for a late night party in one of the stores. But when the mall goes into lock-down, the robot security system malfunctions and all hell breaks loose! A film that couldn't be more 80s if it tried!

OUR MIDWEEK VIRTUAL CINEMA SCREENING: THE WARRIORS ORIGINAL CUT!

Stream via our Twitch Livestream at 7:30pm EST HERE

Wed March 17th 7:30pm (EST)
Midweek Special!
THE WARRIORS - ORIGINAL 1979 THEATRICAL CUT
With Taxi Driver, Mean Streets and The French Connection, The Warriors is the epitome of the bad old days of New York on film. The original cut of the film fell out of print in 2001 (the last time the original version was made available for home or cinema viewing) and was re-edited in 2005 with a new intro and ridiculous comic book style scene transitions that outraged fans of the film, to coincide with the video game release. We are pleased to present the original legendary version of this iconic film!

A MIGHT MARVEL MISFIRE IN OUR VIRTUAL CINEMA THIS WEEK!

Between Dolph Lundgren in The Punisher, Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four and this outing for Captain America, it’s kind of fortunate the Marvel Cinematic Universe didn’t head in this direction!

Stream via our Twitch Livestream at 7:30pm EST Friday 3/12 HERE

Fri March 12th 7:30pmn (EST)
CAPTAIN AMERICA (1990)

Looooong before Iron Man changed the face of cinema, Marvel just couldn't get their act together on the big screen (Blade was still 8 years away), and boy does it show in this laughably bad straight to video version of Marvel's mightiest patriot! Starring (and we're serious) the son of author J.D Salinger as Cap, the shield wielding hero comes across as bulked up wimp in what must be the heaviest and hottest rubber costume ever made. Laugh out loud, face palming fun! Screens with a treasure trove of retro Marvel trailers from the 70s and 80s plus some super oddball Marvel clips to set the ludicrous mood!

THIS WEEK IN OUR VIRTUAL CINEMA LIVESTREAM

Two screenings this week in our ongoing Virtual Cinema dedicated to cult movie favorites! Both commence on their respective dates at 7:30PM via the link below. Each session features a trailer pre-show!

Wed March 3rd 7:30pmn (EST)
Midweek Special!
SOUTHLAND TALES (2007)
A sprawling epic, from the creator of Donnie Darko, set in an alternative pre-2008 election America that has become a fascist police state, following the nuking of Texas and outbreak of WW3. Savaged at Cannes and re edited for it's theatrical release, it became a cult film due to it's deeply involved world building and extremely unlikely ensemble cast including Dwayne Johnson, Seann William Scott. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mandy Moore, Justin Timberlake. Miranda Richardson, Wallace Shawn, Jon Lovitz, Christopher Lambert and Kevin Smith. A film that was ahead of the game with an expanded world that unfolded via comics and short films, it is ripe for reassessment as an underappreciated movie. Music by Moby.x

Fri March 5th 7:30pm
DEATH RACE 2000 (1975)
In a dystopian future, a cross country automobile race requires contestants to run down innocent pedestrians to gain points that are tallied based on each kill's brutality! Starring David Carradine (the titular Bill of Tarantino's Kill Bill saga) and a very young Sylvester Stallone, the tone of the film is far more kitschy than it sounds. Fantastic vehicle design and an all over goofy feel make this a brilliant night of pure 70's entertainment!

NEON MARQUEE PRESENTS: 'ROBOT MONSTER (1953) + PLAN FROM OUTER SPACE (1959) ' LIVESTREAM (Fri 2/26)

For our next Livestream join us for a Double Feature that’ll send you back in time to the 50s; complete with retro trailer pre-show and an old style intermission! It’s back to back B-Movie sci-fi with two of the worst (but incredibly hilarious) movies of the genre kicking off with ROBOT MONSTER (1953) featuring perhaps the goofiest ‘alien’ ever put on film (a gorilla suit with a papier-mâché space helmet) menacing the apparent last human on earth. Never mind the fact that some curious onlookers wander into frame, and that the entire film seems like it was shot over a weekend in a quarry in California. Dime store special effects feature throughout naturally!

After intermission, it’s the Citizen Kane of bad movies with Ed Wood’s legendary PLAN FROM OUTER SPACE (1959) in which a race of humanoid aliens (which are just humans actors) arrive on earth to concoct a plan to take over the world by raising the dead resulting in a movie that really doesn’t know what genre it wants to be. The film features some of the flimsiest sets you’ll likely see like a plane cockpit consisting of a plywood wall, curtain and two sticks for steering, and most notably, the final performance of horror royalty Bela Lugosi. The actor died midway through production and was replaced by a stand in who had to keep his face covered the entire time! The result is a baffling film that is undoubtedly full of passion from director Ed Wood

NEON MARQUEE VIRTUAL CINEMA CALENDAR IS UP!

We’re plumbing the depths of B Movies, mining the best (and worst!) of cult movies, combing through genre upon genre and digging through midnight classics for our new Virtual Cinema! To complete the experience, every session is preceded by a retro trailer and clip pre-show to set the mood!

Join us for each session at twitch.tv/neonmarquee

Check out a full rundown of each session underneath the poster!

SEASON 1 LINEUP!

Fri Feb 19th 7:30pm (EST)
ALIENATOR (1990)
She's a lethal fem-bot from outer space, tasked with capturing a fugitive hiding out here on Earth! It's big hair and big guns in this outrageous Sci-Fi schlock favorite.

Fri Feb 26th 7:30pm (EST)
Double Feature with old style Intermission!
ROBOT MONSTER (1953) + PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1959)
Two absolutely legendary sci-fi blunders from the paranoia era of the 1950s! ROBOT MONSTER is the tale of the last (pathetic) group of humans on Earth being meanced by an alien (a man in Gorilla suit with a diving element), and all shot pretty much in the one location. After intermission, it's the gold standard of B Movies from Ed Wood himself! PLAN 9 sees a valley town under attack from flying saucers and aliens whose grand plan is to resurrect the dead. Horror legend Bela Lugosi stars, however he died midway production, so a body double stood in, and had to cover his face naturally...

NEON MARQUEE PRESENTS: 'CLASS OF 1999' LIVESTREAM (Fri 2/12)

For our second Live Stream join us for the 1990 vision of the future that is CLASS OF 1999! Starring the queen of Blaxpolitation Pam Grier and Malcolm McDowell (taking a big step down from A Clockwork Orange), this absurd sci-fi effort centers on a principal's attempt to demilitarise his high-school battle zone with android educators backfires. It begs the question; why is anyone actually going to school here?
