SPECIAL 25TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING
In this wild, gender-bending mashup of 1960s beach movies and Hitchcockian horror, Psycho Beach Party follows Florence “Chicklet” Forrest (Lauren Ambrose), a teenage girl who desperately wants to be part of the Malibu surf crowd. But there's a problem: Chicklet has multiple personalities, including a violent alter ego with a sinister streak. As bodies start piling up, the campy fun explodes with drag queens, muscle boys, and beach party kitsch. Co-starring Nicholas Brendon, Thomas Gibson, and Charles Busch (who also wrote the original stage play), this cult favorite is a queer, sun-drenched thrill ride of laughs, screams, and surfboards. It has been 25 years and getting better with age!
