OTBKB Movies: Freaky Cats at BAM

 OTBKB is thrilled to present  a semi-infrequent series of pieces to be
contributed about film and written by Pops Corn. He writes: "Thanks for allowing me on
your screen.  I promise not to always cover weird horror.  It's
seasonal."

BAM gets real loose consistently every year at Halloween.  A few
years back, they shocked me by busting out the truly
(and unjustly) unloved Halloween III: Season of the Witch. 

Screening a
much maligned sequel in a typical arthouse setting wasn't enough - they
dedicated a day to it. I'm a bit obsessed with this film in
part because of the song that plays
frequently in a commercial throughout the film.  So, God–scratch
that,Satan, as per the holiday–bless them for that wonderful Halloween
a few years back that was enjoyed by me and about 7 other people. 


BAM
strikes again this Halloween with the miniature dual film series beautifully titled Freaky Cats. 
 
It's honorable enough to show Sleepwalkers for a day,
a true B-movie Stephen King adaptation with character actress Alice
Krige at her most unhinged (and incestuous).  

But the don't-miss
item
 appears to be a 1977 Japanese film called House (Hausu).  I have yet to see this one, but I was introduced to the mind-blowing trailer  If the trailer is at all indicative of the movie,
it is certain to be a masterpiece of the bizarre.  One day only –
October 31st.
