FRIDAY NIGHT: The ScareHouse Moonlit Matinee Film Festival at The Oaks presents a rare 35mm screening of George A. Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD (filmed right here in Pittsburgh.)

DAY OF THE DEAD is the third and concluding chapter in George Romero's zombie trilogy. Set in Florida, as the film begins the dead have taken over the world, outnumbering humans 400,000 to one. A handful of surviving humans have taken refuge in an underground missile silo: Sarah (Lori Cardille) -- a scientist who is trying to reverse the process whereby the dead turn into flesh-eating, irrational zombies -- and Dr. Logan (Richard Liberty) -- an out-of-his-mind psychologist who wants to capture the zombies and turn them into domestic help. Things heat up when the military tries to take over the scientific experiments.

This is an extremely rare 35mm print screening of the film, and the final film on the 9th annual Moonlit Matinee Film Festival.

Before the film, cast and crew members reunite on stage for an extended Q & A with local zombie fans.  Plus, a chance to win Pittsburgh Zombies merchandise from ScareHouse AND a chance to purchase the limited edition poster from Screaming Brain Studios.  

Click here for more information!  $8.00 General admission, $6.00 for seniors, youths, and students. More information is available at www.theoakstheater.com

If you miss Friday's screening, you can also catch a screening of DAY OF THE DEAD at the Oaks on Saturday at midnight - right after the 7:30 screening of the Graphnation Film Festival.  Click here for more information about this wild collection of short films, both live action and animated. 

The Oaks Theater, a gloriously refurbished 430-seat single-screen movie house, presents the best in current, classic, and non-traditional cinema entertainment.

SATURDAY: Are you ready for a double-header or roller derby action? The Steel City Derby Demons, sponsored by The ScareHouse, offer a pair of exciting bouts for you this weekend.  The Steel Hurtin’ will be playing the Cincinnati Black Sheep and the B-Unit will be playing the Cincinnati Silent Lambs.  This game excites us, folks.  The Hurtin’ and the Black Sheep have met twice before.

Door open at 6:30 - the action starts at 7pm! Come to the Romp n Roll Skating rink, 1661 E. Sutter Rd, Glenshaw PA 15116

Ghost World

"I wanted to hug this movie. It takes such a risky journey and never steps wrong. It creates specific, original, believable, lovable characters, and meanders with them through their inconsolable days, never losing its sense of humor."  Roger Ebert

"Ghost World is a movie for anyone who ever felt imprisoned by life but crazy about it anyway." Entertainment Weekly

"Unlike those shrill, hard-sell teen comedies on the other screens, Ghost World never becomes the kind of empty, defensive snark-fest that it targets. Clowes and Zwigoff keep the organic pace of the original, and its empathic exploration of painfully changing relationships" Time Magazine

Ghost World is a 2001 comedy-drama film directed by Terry Zwigoff, based on the comic book of the same name and screenplay by Daniel Clowes. The story focuses on the life of two teenage friends, Enid and Rebecca (Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson), who are outside of the normal high school social order in an unnamed American city. 

The ScareHouse Moonlit Matinee presents a 35mm screening of Ghost World, only at The Oaks Theater in Oakmont. Friday night at 10pm and Saturday night at midnight at The Oaks Theater in Oakmont. $8.00 General admission, $6.00 for seniors, youths, and students. More information is available at www.theoakstheater.com

Our summer-long film festival is almost over!  Join us at The Oaks on August 19th and 20th for screening of George Romero's living dead classic Day of the Dead! There will be prizes. There will be zombies. And there will be an extended Q & A on Friday night with John Amplas, Tim Dileo, Mark Tierno, Debra Gordon, and Mike Gornic.  Click here for more information.
