Presenting Forbidden Zone party

(Fri 19th / 8pm / £5/4)
(Richard Elfman / USA / 1980)

A screening of an all-time classic of the underground cinema, featuring original music by Oscar-nominated composer Danny Elfman. It is a musical fantasy of a mysterious but forbidden door to another dimension in the basement of the Hercules family's new house. It doesn't take long for daughter Frenchy, returning home from her bizarro school that features a machine gun- toting teacher and a chicken boy, to succumb to temptation and open it. Frenchy is then trapped in the Sixth Dimension, ruled by randy midget King Fausto who is looking for a new concubine. Unfortunately she also incurs the jealous Queen Doris's wrath, and is imprisoned along with the ex-queen. While Frenchy's brother Flash and her Gramps set off to save her, a dancing frog, robot boxers, Oingo-Boingo, and Danny Elfman as Satan, all make appearances.
Join us for a crazy night of surreal magical film with DJs in the bar.
