Fantastic Fest 2008

Brief Summary:
Live Comedy, Bad Movies. Master Pancake helmer John Erler has been performing his live comedy stylings along with movies great and not-so-great for the past 7 years at the Alamo Drafthouse.

Full Description:
In honor of Fantastic Fest, the resident hecklers of Master Pancake Theater ambush the slasher classic, Friday the 13th (1980). The dark entry in the summer-camp boomlet of the late 70’s that included Meatballs and Little Darlings, F13 tells the story of the murders at Camp Crystal Lake and one mother who really made a difference: Pamela Voorhes, founder of M.A.P.C.C. (Mothers against Promiscuous Camp Counselors). This low-budget gem boasts a cast of no-name actors and one future A-lister: everyone’s favorite pug-nosed golden-boy and erstwhile horror star Kevin Bacon (Tremors, Hollow Man). To help them eviscerate the movie properly, the Pancake crew will be joined by special guest-riffer Zack Carlson, host of the Alamo’s Terror Thursdays. Come join the fun as Master Pancake Theater pays its own mocking brand of tribute to this iconic genre classic. (John Erler)
