\"\"<\/a>For another year, Cinema Crazed is covering the Cinepocalypse Genre Film Festival. 2019 promises to be a fun year for the festival as programmers promise to screen some classic genre entries, as well as screening some of the most unique and original horror films from around the world. Presiding over the jury this year is Joel Schumacher; here are five reasons to be excited for this year\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. \u201cAirheads\u201d Anniversary Screening
\n<\/strong>For closing Night of Cinepocalypse, fans can check out the 25th<\/sup> anniversary 35mm print of the 1994 comedy cult classic. With director Michael Lehmann in attendance, fans can re-visit the goofy tale of Chazz, Rex, & Pip (Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscmi, and Adam Sandler), a trio of aspiring rock stars who take a radio station hostage with water pistols. Becoming folk heroes in the vein of \u201cDog Day Afternoon,\u201d they take a whole city by storm. The movie features a huge cast including Joe Mantegna, Michael McKean, Ernie Hudson, David Arquette, Judd Nelson, and the late Chris Farley. Can you believe there was a time where Adam Sandler was a third bill movie star?<\/p>\n

4. GWAR vs. Rock \u2018N Roll Nightmare
\n<\/strong>\u201cRock \u2018N Roll Nightmare\u201d is one of the more celebrated horror cult classics from the eighties, and during festival at the stroke of midnight, fans can watch the original film with rock band GWAR in attendance. To make things even better B\u00e4lS\u00e4c and Sleazy P. will stick around to engage in a moderated conversation and Q&A with all of the fans. They\u2019ll also be riffing on the movie. It promises to be a party.<\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>Tammy and the T-Rex
\n<\/strong>For years, 1994\u2019s \u201cTammy and the T-Rex\u201d was known as a silly comedy starring a very young Paul Walker and Denise Richards. Walker plays a guy who is murdered, has his brain implanted in to a robotic T-Rex, and goes on an adventure with his girlfriend. What many did not know was that \u201cTammy and the T-Rex\u201d was originally a very gory and violent black comedy chopped down and edited for a much younger audience. Now fans can view the very rare R rated 35mm \u201cGore-Cut,\u201d premiering at the festival for the public. It\u2019ll screen as it was originally conceived: weird, gruesome, and soaked in its intended bloody content.<\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>An Evening with Joe Bob!
\n<\/strong>A night with movies is not complete without Joe Bob Briggs. Author, Movie Critic, Investigative Journalist, and Film Scholar John Bloom (known by his persona Joe Bob Briggs) continues his tour with his popular \u201cHow Rednecks Saved Hollywood\u201d where he discusses how rednecks affected the world of film. He\u2019ll cover topics like the identity of the first redneck in history, the precise date the first redneck arrived in America, the most sacred redneck cinematic moments, how\u00a0Thunder Road<\/em>, the Whiskey Rebellion, the tight cutoffs worn by Claudia Jennings in\u00a0Gator Bait<\/em>, illegal Coors beer, and the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash combined to inspire the greatest movie in the history of the world, the reason God loves rednecks, and oh so much more.<\/p>\n

1. So\u2026 Many\u2026 Horror\u2026 Movies
\n<\/strong>The indie circuit gets their spotlight again in Cinepocalypse, as the festival will host their usual short films block, along with premiering some highly much ballyhooed outings. There will be \u201cVerotika,\u201d the highly anticipated directorial debut from Glenn Danzig, the grindhouse shaded \u201cBliss,\u201d the animated \u201cAttack of the Demons,\u201d \u201cKindred Spirits\u201d another outing from fan favorite director Lucky McKee, \u201cDarlin\u2019,\u201d the sequel to Lucky McKee\u2019s \u201cThe Woman\u201d directed by and starring Pollyanna McIntosh, and many more films from around the world. It promises to surprise and terrify.<\/p>\n

The Cinepocalypse Genre Film Festival runs from June 13th<\/sup> to June 20th<\/sup>. <\/strong><\/p>\n
