Killer Workout at the Emporium Arcade Bar

The Drop Box Presents: KILLER WORKOUT
Sunday, January 19, 10 pm at Emporium Arcade Bar (1366 N. Milwaukee).
Free!
Sponsored by Tallgrass Brewing Co.

“Killer Workout is unequivocally awesome.” -Joseph A. Ziemba, BLEEDING SKULL! A 1980s Trash-Horror Odyssey

Already regretting those New Year’s resolutions? The Drop Box has the perfect excuse to cancel your gym membership– the supremely silly slasher flick KILLER WORKOUT (1987, dir. David A. Prior, 85 minutes). One of two in the uniquely ’80s sub-genre of “aerobics horror” (the other is 1989’s DEATH SPA, in case you’re wondering), KILLER WORKOUT is the definition of a guilty pleasure.

There’s not much in the way of “plot” or “character development”, but what KILLER WORKOUT does have is over-the-top performances, a killer tanning bed, a catchy synth-pop soundtrack, death by giant safety pin, and enough braindead hunks and blonde bimbos in (and out of) spandex to satisfy even the most jaded horror fan.

So slip on your leg warmers and join us at Emporium Arcade Bar on Sunday, January 19 at 10pm. With specialty brews by Tallgrass Brewing Co. on tap, you’ll be laughing your way to fitness in no time! (Did we mention it’s FREE?)

ABOUT THE DROP BOX: The Drop Box is a film series that showcases the wildest movies ever rescued from the bargain bin. Curated by Katie Rife of Everything is Terrible! and Wednesday Rewind at the Logan Theatre, The Drop Box features everything from post-apocalyptic action to supernatural Southeast Asian horror to the most unhinged ’80s slasher flicks. They’re not exactly award winners, but we guarantee that these movies are supremely entertaining, always outrageous, and definitely not available on DVD!
