I will be Livestreaming Monkey Shines (1988) at 9:00 PM EST/6:00 PM PST, followed by The Crazies (2003) at 11:00 EST/8:00 PM PST for the zombie-less Romero edition of Friday Night Frightfest!
Every Friday night I’ll be livestreaming two horror/sci-fi/thriller films I particularly like, though you guys can submit suggestions to the askbox, starting at 9:00 PM EST over the summer. If it works out well enough, I may carry it out as a bi-weekly feature after the summer is over, so tune in if you want more! Click through the picture for the stream link!
Monkey Shines (1988)
Director - George A. Romero
Starring - Jason Beghe, John Pankow
When Allan becomes a quadriplegic he loses all hope for living until he meets Ella - a monkey trained to fetch and carry for him around the house, obeying him in all things. But Ella is part of another experiment, and when she starts responding to Allan’s underlying rage and frustration she has the ability to carry our her master’s darkest wishes.
Keep and eye out for a young Stanley Tucci!

Welcome to a side of Romero that doesn’t involve the flesh eating undead!
