The latest edition of Cort and Fatboy‘s Midnight Movie takes place Friday, October 1st at the Bagdad Theater (3702 SE Hawthorne). The film is a doozie: The Lost Boys!
“Before “24,” Before “Speed 2,” Before “Dream a Little Dream,” Kiefer, Jason and the Corey’s gained large amounts of fame by baring fangs and trashing Santa Clara, CA, a town that would be a wonderful place to stay if it weren’t for all the damned vampires.” [more]
