On the eve of Valentine's Day, Alamo Drafthouse's
Horror Remix turns its creepy eyes toward a familiar movie subject: love. "We play the very best moments of horror and exploitation films," Remix creator and producer Edward Anttila says. The result is a kind of mixtape of VHS-era horror films. "It's very fast-paced," he says. "The material we are working with has such frail plots and characters, the movies can easily be edited down to 35 minutes without anyone noticing." At 7:30 p.m., see if you do, in fact, notice.
Killing Spree (1987),
Haunting Fear (1990) and
Super Vixens (1975) get the Anttila treatment at the Drafthouse (1400 Main, 816-474-4545). This event is free; see
horrorremix.com for details.
