Description courtesy of The Colonial Theatre:
Matt McGinnis’s Movie Riffing Melee returns to the Colonial Theatre for a special spook-tacular Halloween event, and this time YOU are the star!
Along the way, randomly-selected audience members will have the chance to riff against each other in a fast-paced, competitive melee to take home the title of “Movie Riffing Royalty.” But don’t worry about coming up with all those zingers right off the dome – we’ll provide the script, you provide the performance! Think you have what it takes?Join Matt McGinnis (Mystery Science Theater 3000) and his wonderful assistant, Roxie, as they present the 1940 Bela Lugosi film, The Devil Bat, in which a mad scientist uses a large bat to kill anyone who wears his custom-made aftershave lotion. Yes, that’s the real story.
MovieJawn will be slinging zines and cinematic goodies in the lobby before and after the showing. Stop by and say hi to your friendly MovieJawn staff.
Location: The Colonial Theatre, 227 Bridge Street Phoenixville, PA 19460
