Theater/Film/Jokes
Ever since Ivar Haglund scuttled his schooner off Alki Point in 1851
and founded "Hagtown" (name later changed to "Seattle" when it was
discovered that
"Hagtown" means "anal hook" in Salish),
indie-horror-comedy has been our fair city's number-two export (after
Aplets but just above Cotlets). Slashacre—a collaboration between
Crypticon and the Beta Society—celebrates that storied tradition
with
a fine collection of hee-larious spookies from Seattle and
beyond. Blood Squad performs its horror-
movie-improv; Andras
Jones, star of
A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, gives mystical
advice; and David Katims, of
Friday the 13th Part 3, tells
jokes. (
