Moonlit Matinee Film Festival starts Friday!

We're kicking off The ScareHouse Moonlit Matinee Film Festival with the so-bad-it's-good cult phenomenon, "The Room." A hilarious indie black comedy detailing the goings-on of one steamy San Francisco love triangle. Johnny is a successful banker who is a bit too trusting at times. Lisa, his beautiful blonde fiancée, is (unbeknownst to Johnny) a manipulative taker with a double personality. And finally, there's Johnny's best friend, Mark, who has a good heart, but ultimately gives in to Lisa's temptations. "Are you ready to see reflection of your own life?" Lies, betrayal and tragic consequences... oh, my!

Since its initial release, the film's popularity has grown, with monthly screenings becoming an interactive experience similar to that of "Rocky Horror". Audience members dress up as their favorite characters, toss footballs at short distances, and shout commentary about the dialogue, the sets, and an inexplicably recurring close-up of a spoon. Audience participation is encouraged. Let it be stated, however, that throwing spoons AT the screen is not a good thing. Throw them up... and duck!
