Spend the holidays with your REAL family, The Bad Film Society! One and all are cordially invited to our Momentous Winter Solstice Celebration on SUNDAY, December 21st, 6PM, downstairs at the Ashland Elks Dungeon.
You will be dumbfounded by a cavalcade of vintage holiday specials and found footage bringing back memories of misplaced sentimentalities, fist fights over toys for tots, erotic Santas, Nazi elves, the blood of Jesus poured over pancakes, Henry Winkler as an old creepy dude, Rapping Turtles and an endless parade of singing kids which will surely destroy us all!
Then, the quintessential anti-holiday film, BAD SANTA. Two criminals disguised as Santa and his elf travel cross country to malls and use the good will people have towards Santa to rob the stores blind…until they meet a kid who shows them the true meaning of Christmas. Very off-the-wall hysterical and perversely, cynically crass! It’s the perfect lump of coal remedy to all the syrupy sweet holiday dreck foisted down our throats.
Bring something inappropriate but very tasty for the potluck dinner at the beginning of the festivities.
And definitely maybe, bring a very bad gift for the White Elephant Gift Exchange!
The entrance to the Ashland Elks is on Will Dodge Way (the alley between E. Main and Lithia Way and 1st and 2nd Sts.) You’ll see the “Elks Dining” sign. The private Elks parking lot will be open for use. To park, enter on 2nd St. There is a $5 (or more) donation requested to support The Elks and all the good they do.
This is a unique opportunity for the public to enter the hallowed and prestigious portals of the very ritzy and exclusive Ashland Elks Lodge! (ask me how to join!)
Unsparingly,
Ed Polish
