It's the most wonderful time of the year... when Pumpkin Spice is everywhere you turn and things start getting a little spooky...
This year at National Comedy Theatre we're pulling out all the stops for a FULL MONTH of Halloween themed fun! In fact, we are starting NEXT WEEK with...
The
Return of Movie MashTerpiece Theater: Fangs of the Living Dead
Thursday September 24th 7:30pm $8… 18+
Movie MashTerpiece Theater is back and badder than
ever with Fangs of the Living dead (1969)- the story of a young woman soon to
inherit the family castle… but wait! Treachery, witchcraft and sexy vampires
may stand in her way! This is maybe the worst, and raunchiest, fare that NCT’s
cast of comedians has ever tackled as they create new dialogue LIVE as the
movie plays!
This showing is rated R and best for audiences 18+
