Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream

2006 87 min Documentary · Horror

Flickering projector light in a downtown theater, winter 1973. A crumpled ticket stub curls on the sticky floor. Late-night crowds file in, drawn to grainy reels that laugh in the face of polish and permission. This is how counterculture eats the mainstream — cheap, loud, and on its own time.
