ASIANCRUSH & MIDNIGHT PULP April Streaming Premieres: KARAOKE CRAZIES, MICROWAVE MASSACRE, a Romero Celebration with THE CRAZIES & SEASON OF THE WITCH + More!






PREMIERE
MICROWAVE MASSACRE
 
In this twisted '80s cult classic, a man kills his wife and disposes of the body as economically as possible--by heating her up in the microwave and enjoying her flesh as a TV dinner. But now he's acquired a taste for human flesh one serving can't satisfy. (1983, 76 minutes)


PREMIERES
THE CRAZIES + SEASON OF THE WITCH: 
A CELEBRATION OF GEORGE ROMERO                
 
When iconic Master or Horror George Romero passed away in 2017, the filmmaking community lost a legend. From introducing zombies to the silver screen with 1968's Night of the Living Deadand his popular undead sequels to his cult classics such as Knightriders and Creepshow, the Godfather of the Dead was revered for his fantastical, gruesome and satirical P.O.V. To commemorate Romero's groundbreaking and inimitable career, Midnight Pulp is proud to stream two of his early classics: SEASON OF THE WITCH and THE CRAZIES.


  
 
SEASON OF THE WITCH
 
In 1972, Romero followed up his undead masterpiece, with his most "unclassifiable" and "thought-provoking" following a upper-crust housewife who turns to the Dark Arts to shake up her suburban monotony. Remade in 2011 with Nicholas Cage, the original starred Jan White, Bill Thunhurst and  Romero regular Raymond Laine. (130 minutes)
 


THE CRAZIES
 
Romero combineed conspiracy theories with real-life horror in 1973's THE CRAZIES, wherein the government tries to contain a virus accidentally spread by the military in a small Pennsylvania--only to become victims of the victims themselves. TV Guide called it "a nightmarish expose of government omnipotence and paranoia... one of Romero's most underrated efforts". (103 minutes)




PREMIERE
DEATH WALKS AT MIDNIGHT

Luciano Giraldo's giallo masterpiece, second in the Death Walks series, tells the tale of a model who witnesses a brutal murder.
