I don’t know if you noticed, but it’s become that time of year when everything becomes scary. You know, it’s like normal times of year, only everything is SCAAAAARY!*

ANYWAY.

Tonight at Chop Suey (9 pm, $7) it’s a spooky-scary version of Laff Hole:

It’s called Laff Horrible, and will feature comedy from Andy Peters (back in town after moving to LA), zombie performance art from Johanna Buccola, creepy burlesque from Fanny Tragic, films from Travis & Kevin (The Entertainment Show) and an improvised slasher film from Blood Squad.

That’s a great lineup, y’all. (Some representative clips after the jump.)

*Oh, a scary movie marathon, you say? HOW NOVEL. Which combination of scary movies that we’ve already seen should we watch this time? Just like we did last year? For literally no reason? They’re available year-round, you know. Just sayin’.

Here are Kevin and Travis making some comedy:

And here is Andy Peters making some comedy:

Lindy West was born an unremarkable female baby in Seattle, Washington. The former Stranger writer covered movies, movie stars, exclamation points, lady stuff, large frightening fish, and much, much more....

  1. My SCAAAAARY! Movie Marathon:

    Basket Case
    Maximum Overdrive
    Day of the Dead
    The Blob (remake)
    The Howling
    Phantasm
    Halloween III: Season of the Witch
    Terrorvision
    The Stuff
    Squirm

    I guess I should probably cancel, since movie marathons are the new Stranger “trend-that-was-never-a-trend-but-can-now-be-declared-a-trend-so-we-can-declare-it-dead”, like bacon or Ralph Kramdens (ok, the Ralph Kramden thing wasn’t your fault). I look forward to future posts mocking people for watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” around Christmas or eating turkey on Thanksgiving. How NOVEL, what kind of potatoes will you have with your stuffing and cranberry sauce this year? They sell turkey year-round, you know.

    Anyway, if you decide that seasonally appropriate films aren’t the problem then you are welcome to drop by. I’d be willing to bet that, like me, you haven’t seen all of these movies.
