Facebook Event


Oh boy, guys. This is exciting.

Hoff's Horrorfest is a free monthly show featuring stand-up comedy followed by a horror movie screening, and our film for this month is Maniac Cop 2, the energetic shoot-’em-up about an NYPD detective turned renegade zombie. It’s been called “The Greatest ’80s Horror-Action Movie Ever Made” and features some gotta-see-it-to-believe-it action set pieces, hilarious black humor and great performances from the likes of Robert Davi, Claudia Christian, Bruce Campbell, Michael Lerner and the late, great Robert Z’Dar. (This screening was scheduled prior to Mr. Z’Dar’s passing last month, but we’re happy to be showcasing some of his work.)

And as if that weren’t enough, we’ll be joined for a Q&A by William Lustig, director of the Maniac Cop films as well as of Maniac, Vigilante, Uncle Sam and many others. He’s a horror cinema icon and it’ll be a damn thrill to have him on the show.

It all goes down at Brit Pack (3rd floor, 153 Lafayette, Manhattan) at 9:30pm, Friday, April 24th. It’s free and BYOB. Seating is limited; RSVP to me at hoffmatthews@gmail.com.

You have the right to remain speechless in the face of how much fun this is gonna be. See you there!

–Hoff Matthews


Have a great time!
