We went to Twisted Flicks tonight, the show was "Horror Express", starring Peter Cushman and Telly Savalas. The movie was pretty lame, by itself, and kind of gory, but the new added dialog was pretty funny.
The improv group tonight was really on their game, it was a great show. What they do, is remove the soundtrack and make up their own, using audience suggestions. They used one of Ray's suggestions this time, as the opening line "Those aren't pillows!"
Tonight was a packed audience, they told us at 10 minutes to showtime that there were about 100 people still trying to get in, and would we please move so there were open seats together. It's always nice with a huge audience! I guess last night, on Halloween, they had very low attendance (they joked it was 8).
Tonight's show was also attended by a birthday party, and the birthday girl, Amber, was part of the show. Her name was used to name the freaking-out puppy that the Countess owned.
It was also pouring rain when we got to the theater - didn't expect it to be such heavy rain tonight!

Weekend
Last night we went to see Twisted Flicks. It's something we like to do every month, as it's a monthly show on the last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night of the month.
Jet City Improv takes an old B-movie, removes the sound, and improvs their own music and dialogue from suggestions from the audience. It's usually hilarious, and this week was no exception. They used the movie "Bride of the Monster", an Ed Wood production starring Bela Lugosi. Makes Ray want to see the movie "Ed Wood" again, as this was one of the movies they talked about making in that movie. Especially funny was when they showed the monster squid, and they had to just kind of move around like it was fighting with them. The improv comedians named the squid "Angie" after one of the birthday-girls in attendance last night.
(They did say that when they try to work someone's name into a show, that person usually shows up as someone who's dead, an animal...or a dead animal.)
Tonight is The Amazing Race, and we're getting ready to watch that. I haven't studied up on this season's teams, but I'm interested in seeing the geek team's strategy (watch, they're the first to go!)
