For our July screening, we are thrilled to have Jack Kramme stepping in as our very special guest host for the night. We have an extremely talented and passionate community and you’ll see us handing over the reins over the coming months to introduce a wider range of voices and unique perspectives on the horror genre.
Jack is an audio and video editor who works on various projects and co-hosts multiple podcasts and livestreams. A self proclaimed pop culture aficionado, he has been a horror fan for most of his life - since an older sibling introduced him to A Nightmare on Elm Street at the age of five because they thought it would be funny to see him terrified. It indeed terrified him, but also kick started a lifelong love of the genre. Jack's tastes lean more towards horror of a supernatural nature rather than more practical horror inspired by real life. Ghosts, monsters and demons, as opposed to serial killers and more real world stuff if you will. Because of that he is excited to present a film that sort of came and went without a lot of fanfare, but has since garnered a bit of a cult following. That film is, of course, the 2001 remake of 13 Ghosts, Thirteen Ghosts (or THIR13EN Ghosts). A film that Jack describes as "Kinda silly and over the top, but also fun and self aware with a great overall production design and horror aesthetic".
You’ll be able to catch our screening of this under-appreciated early-aughts flick on Tuesday, July 25th at LongPlay in Fitzroy North. The screening officially starts at 7:30 but you’ll be able to catch us there from opening time at 6pm. We’ll have memberships available to purchase on the night at $15 for a mini-pass (three screenings), or $50 gets your twelve screenings. At this stage we’re still only taking cash but we are in the process of (eventually) switching to card payments. As a word of warning, the cost of our memberships will also be increasing at some point, so you might want to get yourself a twelve screening pass at that rate to beat the price rise. It won’t be a big increase and we hate to do it, but we currently pay for film rights out of our own pocket (and that’s becoming much less do-able financially) - **insert the “help me I’m poor” gif from Bridesmaids**.
Hope to see you there for no talk about cost of living pressures etc etc (that horror is way too real!) Let’s just squeal and laugh watching a fun horror flick!
Much love,
MHFS Crew
