I've Got Your Halloween Weekend Plans Covered
Brazilian werewolves and all-night mystery marathon chills
Houston - are you looking for something spooky to kick off your Halloween weekend?
Join me tomorrow at 7 PM at the Museum of Fine Art’s Lynn Wyatt Theater for a screening of GOOD MANNERS.
This Brazilian movie is one of my favorite werewolf films - not only of the last decade but ever. It’s a drama (with musical interludes!) that understands a big part of any werewolf legend involves a love story. Here’s the thing, though - GOOD MANNERS is not just one love story. It’s two! The film explores how love can spread and take root just as tightly as any curse of the werewolf. It’s a beautiful movie that’s not afraid to be scary, funny and weird. It’s a movie I haven’t stopped thinking about since I first watched it five years ago. I cannot wait to watch it again with an audience tomorrow night and I’ll hope you’ll consider joining me. I’ll be presenting the screening and, after the film, signing copies of WHERE WOLF.
Come watch one of the best werewolf films of the last decade on the big screen, listen to me wax poetic about lycanthropy, and, maybe, pick up my wolfman funny book while you’re at it. I promise not to bite.
Also, thanks to the Houston Press for this kind bit o’ coverage:
Because rest is for the weak, I’ll follow up my first hosting gig of the weekend on Friday night with an overnight horror movie marathon on Saturday night at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema - LaCenterra.
This twelve-hour, seven-film mystery marathon kicks off at 7 PM. I carefully curated a selection of scary movies that are hopefully going to send thrills and chills down audiences’ spines. I’m talking bat-shit bangers, underseen and underappreciated scarefests of the highest order, wooly and weird oddities from the farthest reaches of good taste and maybe even a sneak preview of horror film yet to happen.
I don’t know for how many more years I can keep doing these all-night marathons. My body and sanity certainly take a toll. In fact, my plans for Saturday and Sunday - both before and after the night spent at the theater - involve copious napping. That said, I’m planning to rage against dawn while I still have the energy left in me so I hope you’ll make a plan to join me for a night that’s guaranteed to be filled to the brim with fearfully frightful fun.
