Folks, it’s time for Cartoon Carnival #30. Animation archivist Tom Stathes has hand-selected, from his personal archives, a dozen rare 16mm cartoons (no digital!) dating back to the 1920s thru the 1940s for your visual entrancement.

This year Halloween falls on a Friday night. We believe the entire weekend should be full of spooky festivities, so we’re holding this screening of funny, rare, bizarre and creepy cartoon rarities on Saturday Nov. 1st. See how our animated comrades of decades past duked it out with ghosts, ghouls, and other scary entities a lifetime ago.

A Halloween selection of the best examples of K-horror. Ghosts, wicked stepmothers, and psychopathic serial killers will be exhumed from the darkest margins of Korean cinema for this Halloween selection of six of the best examples of Korean horror, a genre that has seen a vibrant renaissance in the past decade.

Featuring canonical thrillers by established auteurs Park Chan-wook and Kim Jee-woon, and the visceral works of emerging directors such as Kim Yong-gyun and the Jung brothers, this program puts the spotlight on a generation of filmmakers with a flair for violent intensity.

Through the 1970s there was a convergence between the occult, psychedelia and pornography, with an increasing number of films as likely to have a black mass as a pizza delivery. Occult scholar D. Bauler (of Medroxy Progesterone Acetate) and sexorcist Mark Freado (of Mil Kdu Des) have joined forces to release upon the world a collection of excerpts from over twenty such films, connected in order to fully expose the hidden connections between these films while providing a live score (as the ‘liminal auditory intelligence’ Night Pumpkin) we hope will illuminate and confuse in equal measure.

From Faustian bargains to flying Phantasm-style dildos, from swampland necromancers to German teenage devil cults, we’ll be keeping it more wand and cup than pickles and beaver, though obviously with material such as this viewer discretion is advised. Intended to function as an actual ceremonial ritual, FORKED TONGUE IN CHEEK shall open a portal to a world beyond our own, entering into our world, the secret and true obsidian skeleton beneath the heaving flesh of this world. http://www.spectacletheater.com/forked-tongue-in-cheek-live-score/
