A Place For Film: Episode 58 - A VERY Brief History of Midnight Movies.
Manage episode 317118874 series 2915036
On this weeks episode of A Place For Film, I do my best to give you the short version of the history of the midnight movie in honor of the IU Cinema's "Not-Quite Midnights". How it came to be, how it evolved, how it went mainstream and how it (sadly) ended. I also admit on air that I've never been to a Rocky Horror Picture Show screening in my 31 years of life and ask you to be cool about it (or invite me to a screening).
You can find the entire line up of "Not-Quite Midnights" screenings here:
