The Grand Cinema had a grand weekend indeed, with back-to-back sold out shows of its inaugural Grindhouse Theater horror film series.
On tap for both nights was a screening of a 33 mm version of "Evil Dead," a cult classic horror movie that has all the makings of gory wonderfulness.
Ghouls and gals traveled from as far away as Portland, Aberdeen and Bellingham for the screenings as well as participate in the raffle.
The monthly series will continue Aug. 24-24, with a rare screening of a 35mm print version of Lamberto Bava's 1985 classic, "Demons," an Italian gore fest about demonic hell let loose on an unlucky audience in a old movie theater.
A special treat both nights will include a Skype conversation with actress Geretta Rosemary, who will talk about the movie and all things gross.
September's offering will be the zombie classic, "The Return of the Living Dead," just in time for the Tacoma Zombie Festerval and Preparedness Expo 2012.
The Grindhouse after party was held at Puget Sound Pizza, which dished up "Pizzanomicon," an evil smiley face plate of pizza awesomeness.
