Friday August 6 & Saturday August 7 – Gone with the Pope (8pm) & Pieces (10pm)

$8 Double feature - 35mm

Gone with the Pope (2010) A renowned nightclub entertainer, singer and movie actor known as "Mr. Palm Springs," Mitchell directs and stars in GONE WITH THE POPE as an ex-con who hatches a plan to kidnap the Pope in exchange for the ransom of "a dollar from every Catholic in the world." Gone with the Pope was shot in 1975 but remained unfinished at the time of Duke Mitchell's death in 1981. The film reels sat until Bob Murawski offered to take a shot at piecing the movie together. Murawski took charge of the restoration and spent 15 years giving Mitchell's low-budget movie an A-list treatment in between editing Sam Raimi's Spider Man 1, 2 & 3, Drag me to Hell, and The Hurt Locker. Pieces (1982) A psychopathic killer stalks a Boston campus, brutally slaughtering nubile young college co-eds, collecting body parts from each victim to create the likeness of his mother who he savagely murdered with an axe when he was ten years old! Pieces is a wild, unrated gorefest, with enough splatter and sleaze to shock the most jaded horror fan! "Not only is this the ultimate chainsaw movie, it's the ultimate slasher film. It has everything you could possibly want, by the bucketful. Full on chainsaw violence, absurd amounts of nudity, and the greatest ending in horror history. “(Eli Roth)
