Freaked
With Hollywood Entertainment and Freak Nature Puppets

Thursday, September 25
Doors: 7 PM / Show: 7:30 PM
Tickets: $20

Freaked—the sick and silly sideshow classic— is the perfect kick-off to the Spooktacular season as circus summer fades to freaky fall... and Hollywood Entertainment is excited to partner with Freak Nature—the bad kids of the alt-puppet scene and sworn enemies of the Bob Baker Marionette Theater—for a night of brilliant bad taste, twisted cinema, magnificent marionettes, and roaming puppets!

The anarchic tale of former child star Ricky Coogin's imprisonment in a freakshow (on his way to promote a toxic fertilizer) is an underscreened lunatic classic with some of the greatest ever effects, animation, monster makeup, production design, and puppets in film freak history by a slew of geniuses including Stephen Chiodo, David Daniels, Screaming Mad George, Bill Corso, Catherine Hardwicke and many more. Plus one of the most iconic soundtracks of its era and a profoundly stacked cast including Randy Quaid, Mr. T, Bobcat Goldthwait, Brooke Shields, Morgan Fairchild, Megan Ward, William Sadler, Keanu Reeves, and Deep Roy.

Co-directed by star Alex Winter and Tom Stern (The Idiot Box), don't miss this one-of-a-kind screening of a uniquely oddball and extremely funny ode to milkmen, cow-men, sentient sock puppets and all the demented, dripping, and dogfaced wonders of our weird world. 

Please note, this screening is recommended for ages 13+
