The Music Box Theatre, our favorite Chicago destination, where I have been going to for over 30 years to see an unbelievable assortment of films, continues to bring screenings of both old and new horror to their theater. In case you’re interested, here’s a list of a few they have coming up.

The Hidden (1987) – Part of their David Lynch: Moving Through Time series, they are screening this great action/sci-fi/horror film directed by Jack Sholder and starring Kyle MacLachlan and Michael Nouri. This is screening on April 12th, at 11:59pm.

Super-Horror-Rama is back with two twisted tales from the even more demented mind of Japanese director Shinya Tuskamoto. On April 18th, at 11:45pm, they will be screening Denchû kozô no bôken aka Adventures of Electric Rod Boy (1987). Then the following night, they will be screening Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989), at 11:45pm. This might have been might first first film I saw at the Music Box back in the ’90s. I had seen it before from an old bootleg VHS but seeing it in the theater is even more incredible. If you haven’t seen it at all, then you don’t want to miss it.

On April 25th at 11:30pm, you can see Frank Henelotter’s Basket Case (1982), the film that started it all for brothers Duane & Belial and their pursuit to find who tried to separate them! Low budget horror at its finest!

On April 25th and 26th, they will be screening the new film from director David Cronenberg, The Shrouds. The 25th screening is already sold out, but I believe there are still tickets for the 26th screening. The reason for that is probably because Cronenberg will be there for both screenings for a post-film Q&A! The screening for Saturday the 26th starts at 2:30pm.

On May 1st, there will be a special screening of the new movie by Eli Craig, Clown in the Cornfield, and will be appearing for a post film Q&A will co-writer Adam Cesare. Craig had previously given us Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010), so hopefully this one will be just as entertaining. It will be playing at 7pm.

And then on May 16th & 17th, you can see the new documentary Dinner with Leatherface, about the life of the wonderful Gunnar Hansen.
