Super Bowl Super-8 Movie Madness

“SUPER BOWL SUPER-8 MOVIE MADNESS ”at the Way Out Club will be held on (Super Bowl) Sunday, February 7th from 8pm to Midnight. If you’re not familiar with the madness, here’s a brief rundown: Remember (before video tapes) the Super-8 films they used to sell in the 1950’s and 60’s that were condensed versions of features? In the 1970’s they sold SOUND versions of these films and 16 of these will be projected on a large screen at the Way Out Club (they average about 15 minutes each).

Admission is a measly TWO BUCKS!!!!

In honor of the Super Bowl, I’ll be showing five football-related films. They are: TWO-MINUTE WARNING (Charlton Heston vs a Sniper at the Super Bowl), BLACK SUNDAY (Bruce Dern and his blimp full of exploding nails at the Super Bowl), M*A*S*H (with the football game climax), HORSE FEATHERS (The Marx Brothers playing football), and FOOTBALL FOLLIES (hilarious football bloopers).

The other (non-football) films showing are THE OMEN, Warren Oates in DILLINGER, MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, EMMANUELLE, The Three Stooges (w/Shemp) in STUDIO SNOOPS, HERBIE RIDES AGAIN, a Vincent Price double feature: THE RAVEN and THE PIT AND THE PENDULUM, and encore screenings of Joan Crawford in STRAIGHT-JACKET, and the skeleton battle from JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS. I’m also showing Lon Chaney in THE WOLFMAN and the guys from Allied Advertising will be there giving away T-Shirts, posters, and passes for the new version of THE WOLF MAN (starring Anthony Hopkins) which opens the following weekend.

The Way Out Club is located at 2525 Jefferson Avenue in South St. Louis (corner of Jefferson and Sydney). This time there will be FREE popcorn and Bob sells yummy Way-Out pizzas for $8.00. Spread the word to all local movie (and football) lovers.
