Retro
Picture Show presents a special ONE NIGHT ONLY screening of the 1982 cult
classic slasher film MADMAN on Friday night, October 14th at Cinema Arts Centre
in Huntington, NY.
Producer Gary Sales and Paul "Madman Marz" Ehlers will
be on hand to discuss all things MADMAN.
MADMAN
You
must not say his name above a whisper for he can be anywhere… anytime… and if
he hears you, he’ll come for you. And when he comes for you, there’s no place
on earth you can hide.
The
story opens on a camp fire setting deep in the woods of a summer youth camp.
The words are those of Old Max, the camp proprietor, telling a tale about a
local farmer named “Marz”, who in a fit of maniacal rage, axe murdered his
entire family and then escaped justice by disappearing into the woods never to
be seen again.
Old
Max reveals that what has been taken as folklore is indeed true and that these
are the very woods where “Madman Marz” took refuge.
It
is then that the mood is broken by Richie, a cocky young camper, who ridicules
the tale and challenges Max’s story by scoffing and shouting aloud, “Madman
Marz”. And as the words reverberate through the dark woods, the wheels of
terror are set in motion. (US, 1982,
89 min, R, DCP, Dir. Joe Giannone)
