All Hallows Eve has come to a close, and the ghosts and ghouls have returned to their graves and/or costume closets. As a result, the kids of the land are already in the process of making sure that their teeth rot right out of their heads and that each child ends up looking more like a zombie than when they were actually dressed up as one. However, just because your kids are already on their never-ending quest to see how much sugar they can consume in one sitting doesn’t necessarily mean that the spooky fun has to end. In fact, if you missed out on the Halloween fun last night or you’re simply looking for more, here are a couple of events this weekend that are sure to keep you amused.
First, if you’re a fan of classic horror movies, the Responsible Grace Church in Somerville, MA is hosting a show tonight at 8:00 P.M. and tomorrow at 2:00 P.M. that you simply cannot miss. This show, presented by the Post-Meridian Radio Players, is a radio version of the cult classic movie that brought the whole zombie genre to life (or undeath as the case may be), Night of the Living Dead. This means that once the show begins, each member of the group will stand up on stage in front of a microphone and read each of their parts, complete with sound effects, just like War of the Worlds and all of the other radio shows of old. Best of all, this show is actually a double feature, as the Post-Meridian Radio Players will not only present Night of the Living Dead, but will also present an episode of Suspense as well. For more information and/or to order tickets, please visit the Post-Meridian Radio Players website.
Secondly, if you’re a fan of truly cheesy movies or you were always a fan of the TV show, Mystery Science Theatre 3000, the Wilbur Theatre may have the show for you. This is because the Wilbur Theatre is hosting Cinematic Titanic, which is a comedy group made up of many of the same people behind the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 series. This group, as you might have already guessed, makes fun of movies, and this show will feature the group making fun of one of the worst movies you can possible find, The Doll Squad. As a result, if you’re looking for a movie in which the most frightening thing about it is that someone actually thought it was a good idea to make it, the Wilbur Theatre has you covered. For more information and/or to order tickets, please visit the Wilbur Theatre website or the Cinematic Titanic website.
