REVIVAL OF EVIL + UNARIUS + SUB-GENIUS +
Holy crap! For our annual Halloween SPOOKTACULAR, we couldn’t get any freakier than the contemporary hellscape of “alt religion”…and here is a veritable Flood of eschatological SPEW and wide-eyed WHEW!! We’ve got Pat Boone speaking in tongues, clips of Poke Runyon’s Magic of Solomon, Holy Ghost Hysteria, Mark of the Beast, Cult Explosion, the ever-visionary adventures of our flying-saucer/past-lives pals Unarius, and a couple clips (Arise!, X-Day Drill) from the Texas Slack sect with strong connections to SF, The Church of the Sub-Genius! Praise Bob!! The night’s 16mm high/low point is a conspiratorial section from Jeremiah Films’ ultra rare, utterly wicked Revival of Evil, with intro by collector Anthony Buchanan. ALSO the Mormon Ancient America (claiming Jesus preached in Meso-America), the post-Mormon doomsday sect Nesara, 700 Club on Burning Man’s Satanic connections, Joe Schimmel on backward-masking, black magic, sorcery, and witchcraft, and the energized rants and intra-Christian attacks of many other bizarre belief-systems. DJMysterious Music Meister will be spinning the vinyl backwards, of course, as well as dispensing free trick-or-treats!
