Sacramento’s infamous late-night film festival, Trash Film Orgy, has officially returned for its 13th year! It all goes down on Saturdays at midnight now through Aug. 17 at the historic Crest Theatre, where TFO not only plays killer films like Shaun of the Dead and Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!, but also hosts entertaining live stage shows encouraging audience participation. There are also games, costume contests, prizes and tons of other weird, awesome stuff. There are four weeks of TFO left, so don’t miss out! July 27, 2013 see Sean S. Cunningham’s original 1980 slashfest, Friday the 13th; Aug. 3, 2013 is The Road Warrior, an Australian post-apocalyptic action flick from 1981; on Aug. 10, 2013 see Escape From New York, a 1981 science fiction action movie set in the future (1997, hah!) from influential filmmaker John Carpenter (Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China and others); and finally, on Aug. 17, celebrate Trash Film Orgy’s 100th show with a double header featuring H.G. Lewis’ classics Two Thousand Maniacs! and Blood Feast. All seats are $10, and only those 18-and-over are allowed in. If you wear a costume, you’ll save yourself a buck while gaining countless street-cred points. For those of drinking age, the Trash Lounge does serve beer and wine, so you can feel free to get a little loose. Doors open at 11 p.m. and the screenings start at midnight.
