CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON IN 3D!

CREATURE 5/23! 

Audiences of all ages are getting the "yell" scared out of them at Professor Morte's SILVER SCREAM SPOOK SHOW, a unique brand of eerie entertainment.

With a cast of creepy, colorful characters, the SILVER SCREAM SPOOK SHOW mixes classic spook show scares, comedy and horrifically hip hijinks. Morte --the ghost host with the most-- presides over this twisted variety show featuring magic tricks, dance numbers and fun-filled frights! Think "Pee-wee's Playhouse" meets "The Munsters."


Watch the episode of PBS' THIS IS ATLANTA featuring the Spook Show!

A classic horror film follows each show. From "Frankenstein" to "The Creature From the Black Lagoon," the SILVER SCREAM SPOOKSHOW shares its love of scary cinema with a new generation. And this monstrous double bill and interactive movie-going experience gives guests more boo for the buck!


Watch the original CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON trailer on You Tube!

Creature from the Black Lagoon is a 1954 monster film directed by Jack Arnold, and starring Richard Carlson, Julia Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, and Whit Bissell. The eponymous creature was played by Ben Chapman on land and Ricou Browning in underwater scenes. A scientific expedition searching for fossils along the Amazon River discover a prehistoric Gill-Man in the legendary Black Lagoon. The explorers capture the mysterious creature, but it breaks free. The Gill-Man returns to kidnap the lovely Kay, fiancée of one of the expedition, with whom it has fallen in love.

There are many strange legends in the Amazon. Even I, Lucas, have heard the legend of a man-fish.

Fagbug with special guest Erin Davies - Thu at 7:30pm.
On the 11th annual National Day of Silence (April 18, 2007), Erin Davies was victim to a hate crime in Albany, NY. Because of sporting a rainbow sticker on her VW Beetle, Erin's car was vandalized, left with the words "fAg" and "u r gay" placed on the hood and driver side of her car. Despite initial shock and embarrassment, Erin decided to embrace what happened and film a documentary about her 58-day cross country tour around the US and Canada in her car known worldwide as the fagbug.

MIL MASCARAS VS THE AZTEC MUMMY
MIL MASCARAS VS THE AZTEC MUMMY
After 15 years, Mexican wrestler superstar Mil Mascaras returns to the big screen, reestablishing the real legacy of the Luchador, in MIL MASCARAS VS THE AZTEC MUMMY and the Plaza is bringing it to Atlanta! The JUNE 2ND screening will be hosted by Amy Dumas, formerly known as LITA of the WWE. Four time women's champion and arguably the most famous female wrestler in the company's history, Lita's wrestling style was very influenced by the Luchadors and much of her training took place in Mexico.

Mil Mascaras is a renaissance man of international repute. He is a connoisseur of the arts, a scholar of science and humanity, and a masked wrestler. Like his fellow luchadores, El Santo and Blue Demon, Mil Mascaras is often called upon to assist the authorities in combating threats to mankind, whether they are seductive vampire women, lycanthropic madmen, or invaders from other worlds. However, no threat has ever been greater than that posed by the Aztec mummy. In this story, the Aztec mummy is resurrected by the power of the gem of Tonauac. Using its power, the Aztec mummy is able to control the minds of men, even those of strong pedigree and erudition. Determined to lead the ascendancy of the Aztec nation over the descendants of its past conquerors, the Aztec mummy conspires to manipulate men of power for his own ends. Whether Mil Mascaras can be corrupted by the influence of his undead adversary is not clear, but the answer hinges upon the secret of his mask -- a mask which has been passed down to him from his ancestors since time in memoriam.

WHO IS MIL MASCARAS? FIND OUT ON YOU TUBE NOW!

Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy (aka Mil Mascaras: Resurrection) is the most spectacular and colorful lucha film ever made, with appearances by El Hijo del Santo, Blue Demon Jr, Huracan Ramirez Jr, Neutron, Dos Caras, Argozan, La Torcha, and even the legendary American wrestler, Harley Race. It is the first genuine lucha film to be originally produced in English, and it is the first to include major Hollywood co-stars since John Carradine starred with Mil Mascaras in the classic 1970 film Las Vampiras.
