Looks like you’ll have to drive about 75 miles outside of Loop 1604 to attend this one, but it’s just too cool not to mention.
Austin’s FERAL CINEMA is presenting a screening of movies based on the work of Texas horror legend JOE R. LANSDALE, which will be attended by none other than Joe, his ownself.
The screening takes place Wednesday, June 16, at the United States Art Authority in Austin (part of the Spider House/I Luv Video compound at 2908 Fruth St.). Doors are at 6 p.m., and the first movie starts at 7.
In addition to Don Coscarelli’s “Bubba Ho-tep” and “Incident On and Off a Mountain Road,” Feral Cinema will screen Lansdale-scripted episodes of “Batman: The Animated Series” and “Superman: the Animated Series.”
Entry is five bucks or free with a copy of Joe’s “The Complete Drive-In: Three Novels of Aliens, Anarchy and the Popcorn King.” And it just so happens Joe will be at AUSTIN BOOKS & COMICS on Thursday, June 17, doing a signing for said volume.
I don’t know about you, but this sure sounds like an excuse for a road trip and some popcorn-fueled nightmares.
