Flicks For Fans, "a group dedicated to going beyond the norm at the movies", has announced that they will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of the classic slasher FRIDAY THE 13TH with a pair of special screenings and a unique immersive experience that will feature the special effects work of Brittany Fontaine, a graduate of the Tom Savini Special Make-Up Effects Program.
This event will take place at the Fine Arts Theatre in Los Angeles, California on Friday, March 13th and Saturday, March 14th.
March 13th is being called "Camp Crystal Lake Night", and the screening of FRIDAY THE 13TH will be followed by a screening of another classic '80s slasher, SLEEPAWAY CAMP.
March 14th is "Ladies Night", and that night FRIDAY THE 13TH will be followed by the 2015 slasher comedy THE FINAL GIRLS.
Theatre doors will open at 5:30pm both nights, with the screenings scheduled to begin at 7pm.
Admission will be $27. There will be merchandise for sale in the lobby, and attendees will also get these extras:
Immersive Experience, Kevin Bacon "Kill Cabin" Photo Op, Vintage Trailers, Trivia for Prizes, Camp Décor, Early Door Prizes and Giveaways.
Friday night festivities – entitled "Camp Crystal Lake Night" – will be hosted by James "Jimmy O" Oster from Joblo.com and ArrowintheHead.com and will feature both "Killer Camp" trailers as well as Cool Camp movie trivia for prizes.
Saturday night's program – entitled "Ladies Night" (though everyone is welcome!) – will be hosted by Flicks For Fans very own Stacey Lawson and as a special treat for females in the house will have "Lethal Ladies" trailers as well as Dangerous Dames movie trivia for prizes.
As with all former Flicks For Fans outings this event will feature some seriously unique “beyond the norm” extras included with the price of the ticket. Both nights will have an unforgettable Friday the 13 th Themed Immersive Experience fans can enjoy featuring the special effects work of make-up effects maven Brittany Fontaine who herself is a graduate of the illustrious Tom Savini Special Make-Up Effects Program. Tom Savini is of course the maestro behind the effects work in the original 1980 film and Brittany will be following in his footsteps to create an authentic Friday the 13 th feel – along with the Flicks For Fans team – for all Friday the 13 th fans to enjoy. There will also be a Kevin Bacon “Kill Cabin” Photo Op, Camp Décor, Early Door Prizes and Giveaways and horror themed merchandise for sale in the lobby during the event – it’s going to be two amazing nights to remember.
The Fine Arts Theatre is located at 8556 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90211. Tickets are available at the theatre, and also online at StudioScreenings.com.
