The Student Film Club will meet tonight and screen the cult film to end all cult films (and a great Halloween film to boot) The Rocky Horror Picture Show (dir. Jim Sharman, 1975). Based on the successful broadway musical, the film stars Tim Curry (as Dr. Fank-N-Furter), Susan Sarandon (as the dreamy heroine Janet Weiss), and Barry Bostwick (as the hero, Brad Majors). Screamy songs and outrageous fun tonight. So get into the spirit and do the timewarp with us at 7:00pm.
The Student Film Club will meet tonight and screen John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982). One of the most terrifying films, The Thing also has some incredible (and incredibly imaginative) special effects by Roy Arbogast, make-up by Rob Bottin, and visual effects by Albert Whitlock. The film’s talented ensemble cast is led by Kurt Russell. Based on the original short story, “Who Goes There?” by John W. Campbell, Jr.
The Greater Park Circle Film Society is a 100% non-profit organization devoted to screening some of the finest (and difficult to see) films of this year and years past. Located in Park Circle, North Charleston, the group meets regularly throughout the year to screen films that don’t otherwise reach Charleston, to educate about the art of film, and to foster civic engagement and community outreach. Looking for an internship? The Greater Park Circle Film Society is looking for students. Just let Student Film Club president Matt Paul know. Or, click here for more information.
