Sharksploitation sweetheart SHARK ATTACK 3: MEGALODON is remembered more for what it got wrong than what it didn’t, and it’s for those reasons that the film is a cult classic. This summer, Detroit-based Slimeball Cinerama wants you to head into the water with the brutally-bad-but-still-beloved flick, and it won’t cost you a dime.
Wednesday, July 22, assault your ears with one of the most absurd lines of dialog ever recorded with a free screening at the Outer Limits Lounge in Hamtramck, MI.
“Slimeball Cinerama started as a dream pre-pandemic when I visited a showing of Night of the Creeps in Seattle hosted by a local drag performer while on a work trip,” says event founder AJ Daugherty. “It was such a fun atmosphere, and I thought ‘I want to do this!’ Fast forward several years and much self-esteem building later, and I finally got the courage up to just make it happen. “
The monthly screening series revels in cinematic schlock and recently celebrated their second anniversary with a screening of Troll 2, capped off with a prom in which attendees dressed in their Nilbog’s finest. Doors open at 8:30 pm. Seating is free but fills up fast, so make plans to get there as early as possible.
