‘Shock Value: The Movie” to play at Hollywood Theater

‘Shock Value: The movie’
“Shock Value: The Movie – How Dan O’Bannon and Some USC Outsiders Helped Invent Modern Horror” will play Jan. 2-5 at Dormont’s Hollywood Theater. The fascinating, feature-length horror anthology looks at the invention of the modern horror film. Archivist Dino Everett proves that USC students Dan O’Bannon, John Carpenter and others began redefining the horror genre while at the School of Cinematic Arts in the 1970s. The compilation features recently uncovered and previously unseen student films by O’Bannon and Carpenter – including their very first pairing in 1968, “Good Morning Dan!” Proceeds from the film will go to help preserve the original short films at the USC Hugh M. Hefner Moving Image Archive. The Friday and Saturday shows are $10 for a double feature with “They Live;” the Sunday show is $5 for all seats.
