Sometimes Tom Stockman develops a theme for his
Super-8 Movie Madness screenings, and sometimes he doesn't. This month's installment has no stated theme, but "WTF?" might be applied to it. A strange amalgam of acknowledged classics in a range of genres will be screened in truncated form --
The Exorcist and
On the Waterfront, as well as lost gems
The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (a Gene Wilder action/comedy) and almost-impossible to find
Song of the South, Disney's "Is it racism or isn't it?"; version of Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus cycle. Then there are the usual exploitation nuggets ('70s kung-fu flick
Fists of the Double K and horror shocker
House of Dracula), and to wrap it up, a 50-minute super cut of Ray Harryhausen's
Clash of the Titans. Prepare to have your jaw dropped by the wonder of it all from 8 p.m. to midnight at the Way Out Club (2525 South Jefferson Avenue;
www.myspace.com/wayoutclub). Admission is $3.
