About this Event
Rev up those engines, Bad Movie Night Brooklyn is back at The Twisted Spine, who's graciously volunteered their space, as we'll be watching Stephen King's first (and only!) directorial effort, Maximum Overdrive! Known for being one of King's weirder stories (with King even later admitting that he was on a coke-binge through the entire production), Maximum Overdrive brought King's legendary name into the hallowed halls of bad moviemaking.
Plot:
For 8 days in 1986, the earth passed through the tail of a mysterious Rhea-M rogue comet. During that time, all machines on Earth suddenly come to life and terrorize their human creators. In a remote desert truck stop, a small group of people (led by Emilio Estevez), held hostage by homicidal 18-wheel semi-trailers, set out to stop the machines before the machines stop them.
The Twisted Spine is more than just a bookstore — it's a portal into the macabre, a haven for horror enthusiasts, and a tribute to the chilling art of storytelling. As NYC’s first bookstore dedicated exclusively to horror and dark literature, they pride themselves on curating a diverse selection of books that span the spectrum of fear and fascination. They not only serve as a bookstore, but also feature a full espresso cafe with Devoción coffee, and a beer and wine bar.
