Maniac in 35mm With Director William Lustig
March 02, 2017 9:30PM - 11:15PM at House of Wax
Joe Spinell stars in William Lustig's underground classic as Frank Zito, a character reminiscent of an even more disturbed Travis Bickle. Frank is an embittered loser who talks to himself and his dead mother, stalks a pretty model (Caroline Munro), and spends his spare time brutally murdering women. He then scalps his victims and puts the trophies on mannequins which he takes to bed with him at night. An uncomfortable film with a relentlessly downbeat tone, MANIAC features graphic, bloody special-effects makeup by cult favorite Tom Savini, who meets a gruesome end in a small cameo.
Presented in 35mm, director William Lustig will join us for a live Q&A following the film!
