35mm Showing of Toho Favorite at the Plaza Theatre Author: Steve Johnson Official Site: silverscreamspookshow.com
For the past five years or so, the Silver Scream Spook Show has been bringing classic horror and sci-fi films to the beautiful and historic Plaza Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. Headed up by your Ghost Host with the Most, the fanged philanderer Professor Morte, the Silver Scream Spook Show is a 30 minute (or so) stage show featuring a creepy cast of characters, not to mention the gorgeous dancing Go Go Ghouls, followed by a classic film in all its original 35mm glory. Everyone from local artists and actors to school teachers and professional wrestlers are a part of the cast that bring to life to all sorts of rampaging monsters, ghosts and goblins. Several of the members of the show have a fondness for kaiju eiga, and in the past they have played MOTHRA, RODAN, GODZILLA VS THE SEA MONSTER, DESTROY ALL MONSTERS, GODZILLA VS GIGAN, and GODZILLA, MOTHRA AND KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK at the Plaza, as well as helping to bring GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA and GODZILLA 2000 to the Rock N Roll Monsterbash at the nearby Starlight Drive-In. In fact, several of the genre`s biggest monsters themselves have appeared live on stage during the shows at the Plaza, including Godzilla, Ultraman, Gamera, DaiMajin, Mothra, and the Gargantuas, Sanda and Gaira! GODZILLA VS MEGALON will be showing Saturday, April 28th. As always the family friendly "kiddie matinee" is at 1PM where the kids always get in for free and everyone else gets in for only $8. Then things get a little more devious for the second showing at 10PM, where only $12 buys your ticket. Plaza Theatre is located at 1049 Ponce De Leon Ave, Atlanta, GA 30306.
