Hey you, mr/ms blog reader! Cheeky, I know. Do you live anywhere near Arizona that you can be there tomorrow night? Do you like independent horror flicks? Chain-saw wielding triads? Badass bitches? Cowboy Pimps? A Dead Hooker in a Trunk? Man, do I have tomorrow night set right the fuck up for you!
DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK will be playing at the Royale in sexy Arizona tomorrow night at 11pm. Let me get you better acquainted with the full radness of the venue --
"A retro grindhouse in the heart of Downtown Mesa, The Royale is a community arts venue & theater space styled after the film palaces of yesteryear which plays host to a unique mix of the newest independent films & retro cult classics. Housed in a historic building constructed in 1908, The Royale has an intimate Auditorium that seats 48, with a sophisticated decor & comfortable theater-style seating. The Royale offers a unique and intimate atmosphere unmatched in the Phoenix area for dedicated film patrons & cinephiles complete with 5.1 stereo sound and 1080p digital projection in the main auditorium.
Our multi-purpose space also plays host to a retro video arcade with several stand-up vintage arcade cabinets from 1980's and 70's. The Royale also houses an art gallery space with dedicated exhibitions themed on pop-culture and film themes revolving monthly. Our concessions stand and merchandise area offers bottled Coca-Cola and retro sodas, as well as eclectic snacks from around the world. The Royale plays host to a variety of signature programming & film series."
I want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts very humbly for you taking the time to check it out, bringing your friends, and spreading the word about this flick. IFC Midnight is doing screenings of the film across Canada and the US in select cities before the DVD release scheduled for January 2012. This is a huge fucking honor for an indie flick like ours and it's really cool of you guys who have been supporting the flick to make this possible. You guys fucking rock.
Please check out the flick - you might think it's not something you'll like, I bet you might - it's also available on VOD, and if you have a region-free DVD player, you can pick up either the UK or the Australian Bounty release of the flicks - super badass! If you want to see this flick in your town - demand it, we'd love to deliver it!
You don't only get DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK - make this a mother-fucking double feature by checking out the sensationally scary GRAVE ENCOUNTERS by the Canadian badasses known as the Vicious Brothers. This movie was shot at local Riverview Asylum that is notoriously haunted. Lots of films use it as a location and everyone whose worked there has a story to tell. These guys went to find out, seriously - what the fuck. This is the trailer --
Lastly, if you make it out to this screening, if you see it on tv, rent it, saw at a festival, whatever your personal Dead Hooker experience may have been - tell us what you thought. We'd love to hear from you!
Tweet us, we tweet back. Thank you.

Seeing as how I was raised in Arizona and not too far from this particular theater, I am going to try and get my friends to go if they can. No promises, but if I was in town I'd have my happy ass firmly planted in that seat if I wasn't out playing those badass old school video games. Seriously, when I go back to Arizona at the end of the month I am going to see what is playing here just so I can go :)
