Midnight Movies: From The Margin To The Mainstream lays bare a phenomenon that blew American cinema apart in the 1970's and put it back together one weird and wonderful screening at a time!
Based on the best selling book by director Stuart Samuels this film documents the explosion of cult film and the midnight screenings those intrepid masterpieces inspired. Directors John Waters (Pink Flamingos), David Lynch (Eraserhead), George A Romero (Night of the Living Dead), Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo), Perry Henzell (The Harder They Come), and Richard O'Brien (creator and star of The Rocky Horror Picture Show) became underground superstars!
Here each of these artists relives these landmark productions for a new generation, alongside the producers, writers and actors who were part of them, the exhibitors who played them, the legendary critics who reviewed them and the audiences that devoured them!
A documentary look back at 6 cult movies and their impact on mainstream Hollywood. This two disc set also includes Night of the Living Dead (1968) and Reefer Madness (1936).
