Atlanta's Plaza Theatre has gone through a lot of changes over the past couple years. It has emerged from under the LaFont umbrella to become the city's only truly independent cinema. Showcasing the world premiere of the Aqua Teen movie, special screenings of Hot Fuz complete with Simon Pegg appearance, are just its most visible PR events. the true meat of the theatre is its series of pure B movie goodness. From thei Splatter CInema eventsshowing films like "Class of Nuke'em High", to the Summer Camp screenings of "Barbarella" and "Xanadu".
For me, the best has to be their Silver Screen Spook Shows with onstage performances akin to the Ghoulardi, Shock CInema, or Elvira late night TV weirdness. Tonight (June 28th) is yet another. This time the feature is Forbidden Planet. Although it's not a personal favorite, I'm sure the Plaza will live up to its reputation.
