Society - 35MM | The Surreal Nightmares of Screaming Mad George
Horrowr Comedy | 1989 | 99MIN
Brian Yuzna’s tangle of class warfare, scatalogy and ugly sex is a stupendously unsubtle eat-the-rich satire. The film’s central metaphor, which suits the 21st century even better than it did the Reagan-Bush 80s, presents the wealthy as literally inhuman gluttons. Since time immemorial, this cupidinous race has parasitically feasted on the inferior homo sapiens during “shuntings,” Burroughsian nightmares of viscera, gobs of lube and denatured flesh. The mutations are the greatest showcase of the unnerving surrealistic makeup designs of Screaming Mad George—which went on to be the primary influence on the make-up designs of films like The Substance and Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil.

Nosferatu + Live Score
Horror, Fantasy | 1922 | 95MIN
The vampire film that started them all gets its shadow back. The Andrew Alden Ensemble performs an original score live beneath F.W. Murnau's 1922 landmark -- the New York chamber group whose violin, cello, keys, drums, and voice sit somewhere between contemporary classical and rock, writing music built for the room rather than the recording booth: immediate, physical, and made for this film alone. On screen, Count Orlok (Max Schreck) uncoils out of the Carpathians -- all talons and teeth and rat-borne plague -- and crosses the sea toward a town that cannot wake from him. A hundred years later the images still crawl.

Vampyr + Live Score
Horror | 1932 | 70MIN
Carl Theodor Dreyer's 1932 fever dream is less a horror film than a nightmare filmed at the moment of waking -- fog, drifting shadows, a scythe, a burial seen from inside the coffin. The Andrew Alden Ensemble scores it live with violin, electric guitar, piano, synthesizers, and percussion, the New York group's music moving with the film's logic of dread rather than against it. A young traveler, Allan Gray (Julian West), arrives in a riverside village held under the spell of a vampire, and the world begins to come loose at the edges. Dreyer made it as sound cinema was being born and produced something stranger than either silence or speech; performed with a live original score, it turns stranger still.

Freaked - 35MM | The Surreal Nightmares of Screaming Mad George
Horror, Comedy | 1993 | 80MIN
One of the quintessential early-’90s cult films, Freaked was adapted by Alex Winter and Tom Stern from their psychotronic MTV series The Idiot Box. Winter plays a vain Hollywood actor who takes a gig promoting an evil South African fertilizer company. But an airplane incident lands him in the middle of a grotesque amusement park, where he is transformed into a member of its expansive freak show. A deliriously grotesque live-action cartoon, Freaked is a carnivalesque melange of eye-popping make-up effects and fun-house set design. It also features an all-star cameo casting ranging from Gibby Haynes of The Butthole Surfers to Mr. T, plus masked appearances from Keanu Reeves and future Wicked director Jon M. Chu. Must be seen to be believed.

The Guyver | The Surreal Nightmares of Screaming Mad George
Horror, Comedy | 1991 | 92MIN
Screaming Mad George’s sole directorial feature is a tokusatsu film about a guy who finds an alien suit that turns him into a superpowered cyber-bug. This puts him on a collision course against a shadowy mega-corp called Chronos and a slimy, reptilian race known as the Zoanoids, who get mad and kidnap his girlfriend. With the help of rogue CIA agent Mark Hamill, it’s up to The Guyver to rescue the girl, take down the man, and save the planet. Co-directed with adrenaline junkie Steve Wang (1997’s Drive), The Guyver is a fantastic showcase for SMG’s icky creature effects.

Post-screening Q&A with filmmaker Philip Hartman!

On the Relentless Destruction of Beauty: Short Housing Films + Q&A
Short Films | 1967-2026 | 67MIN
On The Relentless Destruction of Beauty features artist studios, communized parks, and residential buildings as spaces produced through—and for—collective creativity, labor, and cohabitation. Spanning the 1960s to the present, the program traces the ways everyday acts of living and making come into conflict with capital’s logic of private property, which seeks to empty such spaces of life in the pursuit of profit. Across these four films, however, the home emerges not as a commodity to be exchanged—nor as an asset to be valued through speculation and dispossession—but as a site of ongoing creative struggle.

Bush admin... and the repercussions of it today.

A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master - 35MM | The Surreal Nightmares of Screaming Mad Georgee
Horror, Comedy | 1988 | 93MIN
Freddy Krueger’s popularity was at his peak for A Nightmare on Elm Street's fourth installment, which more or less abandons any pretext that it is not treating the wisecracking undead childmolester as the hero. Often referred to as “the MTV entry” in the series, Nightmare 4 represents the absolute zenith of pre-CGI, practical horror effects in a big-budget popcorn spectacle. Screaming Mad George is the mastermind behind the surreal cockroach transformation sequence, which wizened gorehounds often rank among the series' very best kills.

Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker - 35MM | The Surreal Nightmares of Screaming Mad George
Sci-Fi, Horror | 1991 | 86MIN
The series curator’s dark horse pick for must-see movie in the Screaming Mad George retrospective, the late entry from the direct-to-video years of the long, byzantine Christmas series is shockingly entertaining. The story involves a young boy who is traumatized when bizarre mystery toys kill people including his deadbeat father, his school bully, and a landlord (yes!) in strange and gruesome ways. This puts him in touch with a toy seller named Joe Petto—owner of “Petto’s Toys” (say it out loud)—played by a typically unhinged late-career Mickey Rooney. And from there, the story takes a twist into being a… Terminator knock-off? To the best of our knowledge, Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker has never screened theatrically in New York City on 35mm.

Suspiria
Horror | 1977 | 98MIN
Masterfully employing dream logic (the script was co-written by then wife Daria Nicolodi) and gloriously garish lighting techniques, the film is a true modern fairy tale that tells the story of a ballet student (Jessica Harper) who transfers to a German dance academy only to find it is run by a coven of murderous witches.

Bride of Re-Animator | The Surreal Nightmares of Screaming Mad George
Horror, Sci Fi | 1990 | 96MIN
The original Re-Animator adapted Frankenstein-by-way-of-Lovecraft into a bloodsoaked med school nightmare. And like any great sequel, Bride of Re-Animator goes bigger, zanier, and gorier, with moments that represent the zenith of practical effects work. Reuniting stars Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West and Bruce Abbott as former medical student Dr. Dan Cain, Bride sees the duo expand their experiments to re-animating individual severed limbs. Their goal: to resurrect Cain’s fiance by cobbling pieces of other women around her preserved heart. And from there, the creations only get crazier. Bride of Re-Animator is an extraordinary follow-up to Brian Yuzna and Screaming Mad George’s previous collaboration Society with an all-star special effects team also includes John Carl Buechler and the KNB EFX Group.

When a new friend’s fiancée is kidnapped, the pair find themselves thrust into the middle of a supernatural gang war that pits them against dueling sorcerers, freakish fiends, and black magic. Big Trouble in Little China combines John Carpenter’s affinity for burly men-on-a-mission narratives with the fantastical tropes of vintage adventure serials—an even more colorful, cartoonish, and muscular take on the Indiana Jones formula. Its jaw-dropping array of practical effects includes several pieces by Screaming Mad George, including a sewer demon and floating creature dotted with dozens of bloated eyeballs.

16mm Cartoons: Raunchy, Sexy & Risqué + Q&A
Puppet | Various | 90MIN
Back in the 'pre-code' era of the 1920s and early 1930s, animated cartoons were made to entertain the adults in the audience. The results were often sexually suggestive, if not borderline explicit. Much later, with the long overdue relaxation of old censorship codes, independent and experimental animators of the 1960s and beyond became free to openly explore the raunchy and risqué once more. Salacious sexiness, lustful adultery, queerness, Peeping Toms, and other questionable—or perfectly human—adult behaviors were only some of the wonderfully 'vulgar' themes present in animated shorts made in both eras.
