The Coolidge Corner Theatre

Real-life undertaker and long time zombie fanatic J. Cannibal—dubbed the King of Horror Burlesque—presents a gruesome banquet of midnight mayhem!

This frightful night of fun kicks off with the ass-kickin, blood-suckin sounds of Rock City Crimewave. Following their set will be a bevy of grotesque burlesque courtesy of the infamous horror troupe, Black Cat Burlesque.

For the night’s feature, Mr. Cannibal has hand-picked a newly remastered 35mm print of the New Zealand absurdist zombie splatterfest, DEAD ALIVE. Before “Lord of the Rings” and “King Kong,” Peter Jackson cranked out this hilarious and astonishing masterpiece. Every great zombie film has a signature scene that catapults it to legendary status and this one is no exception. One word: lawnmower. If you’ve never seen this film before, it’s not to be missed. If you have seen it before then come bask in the glory of this newly remastered print!

Free gory goodie bags will be handed out to all, and J. Cannibal will be awarding a number of prizes for the best zombie costumes from New England Comics, Stingray Tattoo and Horror Business. Brooklyn clothing label SEIBEI, will also be on hand selling and giving away customized Intramural Zombie Hunting League t-shirts.
