There’s No More Room in Hell, So Let’s Go Shopping — Facets Night School presents Dawn of the Dead
Saturday, June 27th
Facets Night School presents
“There’s No More Room in Hell, So Let’s Go Shopping”
A midnight lecture on George A. Romero’s 1978 zombie classic Dawn of the Dead, followed by a screening and post-screening discussion. Only $5!!
Romero’s sequel to Night of the Living Dead ups the zombie action, violence, blood and nihilism to follow a quartet who find refuge from the flesh-eating undead in an abandoned shopping mall. Or do they?
Facets editor Phil Morehart dishes on this landmark horror masterpiece, from its bleak satire of American consumerism, comic book action and groundbreaking gore FX to its impact upon the horror genre and regional independent filmmaking.
About Facets Night School:
Facets Night School digs into cinema’s wild side with special Saturday night, midnight lectures on cult favorites led by Facets’ expert staff, followed by screenings of the films and post-screening discussions. It’s a schooling in Midnight Movies that you won’t find anywhere else! Priced at only $5 per class, Facets Night School is a mind-blowing bargain.
Each student receives an educational packet for the films full of notes, essays, articles, a bibliography for further reading and more with admission. DVD give-aways and pre-class grindhouse trailers round out the night.
Lectures start at midnight!! Held at Facets Cinematheque, 1517 West Fullerton Ave., Chicago, IL
