This December 12 at Nitehawk Cinema, THE DEUCE serves up a horrific holiday feast with a rare Japanese 35mm print of Tobe Hooper’s EATEN ALIVE and a smorgasbord of ballyhoo on the Lyric Theatre!

Plus: Lyric Theatre history, prizes, surprises, drink special at the after-party, and music by DJ BONES! Hosted and presented by ‘The Deuce Boys’: Jeff, Andy, and Joe!

Willfully weird and wonderfully bizarre – the bayou-tiful EATEN ALIVE (aka Horror Hotel, Starlight Slaughter, Slaughter Hotel, Death Trap, Legend of the Bayou, Brutes and Savages, etc… take your pick) – is a rotting rose that by any other name is still way whacked-out! Claustrophobic and uncomfortable – unsettling and unrelenting – Hooper hops up his hallucinatory horror with garish glee. And the Japanese subtitles on this rare 35mm print only add to its peyote-drenched-dream otherworldliness…

Fresh off the breakout success of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, Hooper took his new-found fame and kinda fortune – with a bigger budget and an “all-star” cast – then served up this slice of sweaty shock-schlock insanity! Instead of going bigger and slicking things up, Hooper drives EATEN ALIVE head-first into a fantasia of fake-ness that veers near to the realm of Avant Guarde Theatre…Or the stuff of never ending nightmares!
