HEY NYC - go to SCREAMPLAY this week at @anthologyfilm.bsky.social This one deserves the big screen. What a fun weird time--with such technical precision (including @muscledistribution.bsky.social's restoration!) Plus: George Kuchar as a convincing sweaty heterosexual misanthrope. Go!

NEW RESTORATION! Rufus Butler Seder's SCREAMPLAY 9/25-10/1 When a screenwriter channels his frustrations with his kooky neighbors into fodder for his latest script, his murder scenes start to happen for real. SCREAMPLAY is a marvel of campy charm, gothic horror tropes, & inventive set design & SFX.
Still from SCREAMPLAY. A mustachioed man grabs a screaming young woman by the arms.Still from SCREAMPLAY. A grinning man types at a typewriter in a dark room.Still from SCREAMPLAY.
