MOVIEOKE!

website

Movieoke (verb): To perform a classic movie scene for an audience, karaoke-style. Ex: “Did you see Karen movieoke? She totally acted the shit out of that Big Lebowski scene.” Movieoke is literally karaoke with movie scenes instead of music. Performers don costumes, take the mic and act out the movie scenes playing on the big screen behind them. Think there won’t be something that suits your liking??? Think again. There are over 200 scenes to choose from. So, put on a costume and Movieoke! Presented by the Vintage Theater Collective. Created and hosted by Katy Collins. Movieoke at the Whistler on the first Monday of every month.

7th Annual Scary Movie Party

website

An annual no-budget homemade scary movie showcase screened ’round Halloweentime and organized by hyper-motivated art/music/film maniacs in Chicago.

Scary Movie Party began in a basement somewhere in Chicago’s Humboldt Park neighborhood masquerading as a Halloween party way back in 2004. With scenes replicated in hand-painted cardboard, complete with dry-ice fog, we projected Tim Burton’s The Nightmare before Christmas on a crappy old piece of muslin, ate food a la potluck and drank beers. Inspired by the excited party chatter from that night, we decided to take the movie-making into our own hands and thrust ourselves headlong into creating horror-comedy hybrid animals for our creepy attic screenings.
