UCB Franklin
5919 Franklin Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028
$10
18+
It's a parody of Universal Studios' cheesy old Bill & Ted stage show that was canceled in 2013 after a Vice reporter exposed it for being offensive (and also unfunny). We wrote a full-length fake 2016 version of the theme park show and are putting it on featuring UCB's best writers and actors.
Your favorite terrible pop culture spoof show is back, and it's spoofier than ever. For years, Universal Studios Hollywood had an annual Halloween stage show starring Bill and Ted, lampooning the biggest pop culture happenings of the previous year. Recently, the show was canceled forever for being dumb and bad. That's why we decided to keep the tradition alive by presenting what we think Universal Studios' 2016 Bill and Ted show probably would have been. Because Los Angeles deserves an extremely unfunny, genuinely upsetting comedy show featuring empty pop culture references and two characters from a movie that has not held up well. No one is safe. Not even... Grimsby?!

Cinefamily presents our favorite annual Halloween tradition: the spine-tingling horror of The Tingler,
William Castle’s weirdo masterpiece of gimmickry about a lobster-shaped
monster that feeds on terror within the human body! Aside from being
the first film to use LSD as a plot device, the original theatrical run
was presented in “Percepto,” whereby theater patrons were administered
buzzer shocks in their seats, to simulate the monster’s attack. The
result, of course, was giddy insanity, as star Vincent Price’s voice
urges patrons to “scream for your lives!” As if that wasn’t enough, The Tingler
features a major subplot based on our very own Silent Movie Theatre and
its original owners, the Hamptons. Feel a tingle up your spine as you
watch these scenes set in the very location where you are sitting—and
maybe a tingle on your tuchas when we shock you Castle-style with real
wired seats!

In James Whale’s follow-up to his 1931 Frankenstein, Mary
Shelley reveals that the main characters of her novel have survived. Dr.
Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is urged by the mad Dr. Pretorius (Ernest
Thesiger) to build Frankenstein’s monster a female companion. The
monster (Boris Karloff), meanwhile, discovers joy, tragedy, and, most
frequently, fear-driven hatred in his interactions with humans. The
monster only wants companionship, but he remains misunderstood and
loathed because of his appearance.
