Dolls & Bombs Double-Feature

The Barbenheimer craze is still sweeping the box office around the world! Can't get enough? Then come on down to the Crypt on Sunday, September 24th for our free double-feature of Todd Haynes' iconic underground film SUPERSTAR: THE KAREN CARPENTER STORY (1988), "an unsettling and deeply empathetic portrayal of the dark side of stardom"* using Barbie dolls as actors and documentary footage that portrays the last 17 years of singer Karen Carpenter's life while she struggled with anorexia. Stick around afterward for the 1979 cult classic THE MAN WHO STOLE THE SUN, the story of a high school science teacher who builds an atomic bomb and uses it to extort the nation but can't decide what he wants! "Riddled with the anarchic spirit of the Japanese New Wave"** and credited as an undeniable influence on the anime Neon Genesis: Evangelion! Two fantastic and notorious films, both currently unavailable on physical media in the United States, projected on the big screen for ONE NIGHT ONLY! Come early for super-secret short films before each feature as well as specially curated trailers, hot food and cold drinks!
