Thursday July 29 - Movie Mashterpiece Theatre – Vengeance of the Zombies (7pm) $9

The Phoenix National Comedy Theatre tackles another obscure B-Movie, this time the Spanish gem Vengeance of the Zombies (1972) a la Mystery Science Theater 3000 in a mix of improvisation, comedy and a really bad movie. Vengeance of the Zombies offers a triple threat performance by Paul Naschy (King of Spanish Horror) as a Hindu mystic, his evil brother and the Devil himself. Zombies, satanic voodoo rituals and gruesome killings combine to make Vengeance of the Zombies a bizarre ride in the best horror tradition, a film that defines the term "euro-cult" as few other films can. Reportedly, practitioners of the black arts have found hidden meanings in the film that transcend the picture's story-telling plotting, making the impact of Vengeance of the Zombies that much more intense--and frightful.. Laughs galore will ensue as the National Comedy Theatre troupe performs a live accompaniment to this b-movie schlock.
