Melbourne's favourite cinema–going experience returns to the Astor Theatre for three more shows brimming with movie mediocrity at its most magnificent. Join your hosts, those “two divinely–unhinged film buffs,” Geoff Wallis and Janet A. McLeod, as they present a triptych of their favourite bad films accompanied by their very–special brand of cinematic cynicism.

FRIDAY — September 10 You'll be TORN by what's more terrifying — the vampires or the fashions — in Blacula [M]. The biting starts at 8 PM on Friday, September 10. Tickets $18/$16 — no free list

FRIDAY — October 8 You'll be SPACED OUT by Sandra Dee getting sexy in The Dunwich Horror [M]. The dynamic duo makes an entrance at 8 PM on Friday, October 8. Tickets $18/$16 — no free list

FRIDAY — November 5 You'll be CONCERNED that there aren't more work opportunities for female bacteriologists in The Food of the Gods [M]. Once again, the creepy stuff starts at 8 PM on Friday, November 5. Tickets $18/$16 — no free list (but come dressed as a giant rat and you'll get in for nothing).

Cinema Fiasco plays the first (or second) Friday of (almost) every month at the Astor Theatre at 8 PM and, according to one impassioned reviewer, “is helping to redefine the concept of cinema as a communal ritual.” See it. You'll love it.

“McLeod and Wallis's wonderfully–eccentric dynamic, combined with some of the worst films ever made by humans, make this a truly–unique film–going experience.” — INPRESS

“They make the worst films tolerable and even enjoyable. Modern movie houses should consider employing their talents,” said a typically-delirous Cinema Fiasco fan.
