Manifesto:::

Hello all! Welcome to the home of Cinema Holocaust whose sole aim is to gather like minded fiends together on a semi-irregular basis for the purpose of expanding minds through the exhibition of superbly bad cinema. Cinema Holocaust was born and raised in Chicago, IL, but it is by no means confined to this area code. Anyone with a like minded rag-tag band of miscreants and the ability to display some form of audio/visual media is encouraged to start their own chapter. Or if you hate me, and/or the name Cinema Holocaust, do your own thing. Fuck, show good movies! I don't care. Create situations and events where decent and weird individuals can come together. Find outlets to share the gems (good and bad) that fill this Earth. Just please stay out of the middle of the road, it's a waste of time.

The first ever showing will be at the end of this month, at a specific date and location that is to be announced. The schedule will also be revealed in time (when I figure out what it's going to be). The basic format will be and hour or so of shorts from the abyss topped off with a feature length (or thereabouts) product of ineptitude, psychosis, delusion, or error (all of the above if we're lucky). Those interested in forming their own chapters should contact me post haste. We'll get a page started up for you, and I will send you all the necessary images, files, etc for ease of dissemination. Without any of you, this is just me and my roommate watching movies on my couch, so let's see a little effort to step outside of ourselves and make something exciting (albeit wretchedly bad) happen.

Until the future!
