Late Nite Grindhouse Presents ‘BASKET CASE’ on February 22 & 23 at Moolah Theatre & Lounge

In the nine years of Late Nite Grindhouse’s history, we have never shown a Frank Henenlotter film. When I think of the term “Grindhouse” Frank Henenlotter and films like Basket Case are what comes to mind. It’s about time we right a wrong and show a damn Henlotter film.

[AdSense-A]

Duane Bradley is a pretty ordinary guy. His formerly conjoined twin Belial, on the other hand, is a deformed, fleshy lump whom he carries around in a wicker basket. Arriving in the Big Apple and taking up a room at the seedy Hotel Broslin, the pair set about hunting down and butchering the surgeons responsible for their separation. But tensions flare up when Duane starts spending time with a pretty blonde secretary, and Belial’s homicidal tendencies reach bloody new extremes.

Filmed on a shoestring budget against the backdrop of 1980s New York (where the movie would become a staple of the infamous 42nd Street grindhouse circuit), Basket Case has clawed its way from its humble origins to become one of the most celebrated cult movies of all time.
