Aaieeeee!! Just when you thought the Another Hole In The Head Indiefest horror film fest was over and it was safe to go back outside..... NO!!! Local stand-up splatter comics the Primitive Screwheads are presenting their blood-soaked Night of the Living Dead show, that both mocks -- and fears! -- the zombies stalking our land. $21, Doors at 7, show at 8, at the Hole in the Head Playhouse at 1333 Indiana (x 25th, in......

Geek out! At Ask a Scientist SF, a monthly lecture slash happy hour with a guest speaker on some sciencey topic. This month's meet-up touches on everything you ever wanted to know about terra incognita, Antarctica, with Kurt Cuffey, a UC Berkeley professor of geography. Get there by 7pm to snag a beer and a seat. Axis Cafe, 1208 Eighth St., SF. If Le Tigre and The Shangri-Las had a British love child, it......

We headed back to the Roxie this week for a little sci-fi at the Indiefest Another Hole in the Head festival, courtesy of director Richard Schenkman and writer Jerome Bixby, who’s known also for the Twilight Zone and Star Trek. We can’t say much without spoiling this one for you, but we can tell you that it was not what we’d expected. Man from Earth is a sort of coming out for Jonathan Oldman,......

Simon Says premiered at the Another Hole in the Head horrorfest on Friday June 1st at a midnight showing. Well, an 11:45 p.m. showing. Whatever, it was late for old fogeys like us, but the allure of Crispin Glover was too much to ignore. You know what can really prep you for a late night horror movie showing? Searching for parking in the Mission when your parking abilities are limited to spots that do......

--No parking for your bulldozer? Just leave it on the beach. (Thanks to reader Joe, who sent this absolutely gorgeous postcard picture to us. GREETINGS FROM THE BULLDOZER!) --Another reader, Erin, was accosted by Recall Jake McGoldrick people, did some research, and found out the consultant group doing their outreach is based out of the Mission. --This link's for you, commenter Tin Man! (You know Swells By The Numbers always kicks off Sunday mornings!)......

Lotta stuff going on today, a lot of which we've mentioned before: Another Hole In The Head continues and the Black Film Festival gets started! Also, it's the Berkeley Edge Fest. Here's some other stuff too. --Ha ha ha ha ha ha!! It's Critical Ass! There's a naked bike ride to protest overuse of fossil fuels. Noon, starting at Justin Herman Plaza. Don't forget the sunscreen. --Well, this is an unfortunate segue: SF Recycling is......

SFist Sara says to see the second screening of this movie TONIGHT! 9:30 screening at the Roxie! From the look of it, you'd think the Indiefest Another Hole in the Head movie Blood Car was made using the "First Feature for $10,000" model, and the guys responsible are more than happy to have you believe it. But with a premise that begs slogans like "No Oil, just Blood," you'd have to be daft not to......

SFist Wendy and her buddy AG talk about vampire movies, comedy and horror, and the eternal question of your perfect vampiress. Well, it was no Blade or Lost Boys, but we did get a few laughs out of The Thirst this week at the Another Hole in the Head Indiefest film festival. The Thirst thrust shy hippie college student, Will, directly into the battlefront of a neverending war between the vampires and their sentry slayers.......

Aaaaaaah! Zombies! Run! ....and by "run," we mean, "run to the Roxie and start buying your tickets and passes now" for the Fourth Annual Another Hole In The Head Indiefest fantasy, sci-fi, and horror movie fest! Whether your tastes run to anime fantasy, vampires, blood and gore, or Danny Elfman, there's plenty of genre to go around and a good time to be had! The Primitive Screwheads will be doing their splatterfest improv for the......

We thought nothing could put us off our grub. After we saw Super Size Me we left the theatre absolutely dying for a double cheeseburger. Well, Another Hole in the Head finally did it. We've officially given up food. Eating disorder here we come! Feed is a crime movie that delves into the underbelly of "feeders" and "gainers." It was like the most perverse episode of "CSI" ever with its love of obscure fetishes and......

That's right, we're heading straight from the final night of Another Hole In The Head to tonight's opening of Frameline 30, the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival. So many awesome film fests this summer, and we love them all! It all starts with tonight's 7:30 screening of Puccini for Beginners at the Castro (where else?), followed by the 30th Anniversary Opening Night Gala at the San Francisco Design Center. We're not just showing......

Whoever said that horror films don’t make great first dates? We headed back to the Roxie, one of our fave SF theaters this weekend for horrorfest, aka Another Hole in the Head, with our friend and date in tow. We were headed to Broken, and we’d been forewarned that it wasn’t for the squeamish. Nothing a couple drinks can’t handle, we thought. It turns out the drinks, while appreciated, were complete unnecessary. We think......

While we love everything about the Another Hole In The Head film festival, we're especially stoked about the The Primitive Screwheads' production of their new show, The Chainsaw Massacres, at CELLspace June 14 at 9 p.m. We first fell for these guys last HoleHead, when we saw their brilliant Evil Dead Live, and we had a blast at their Re-Animator of the Dead: The Tale of Herbert West. Their new show looks to be......

What a week! Monday we contemplated issues of mortality, as we mourned the passing of James Leo Dunn, celebrated the revival of the North Beach Jazz Festival, and resolved not to die in San Mateo. Tuesday was all about competition, what with the election, the World Cup, and of course the competition between Satan and the Lord for our souls. Wednesday we classed up the joint with a cool new way to comment, visits to......

SF Indie's Another Hole In The Head is the film fest we enjoy the most (that's why we sponsor it), and we couldn't be happier to see it back for its third year of blood, guts, and mayhem. Last year, we saw nearly every film at the fest, and have the post traumatic stress disorder to prove it. This year is no different, with SFist's crack film fest team at the Roxie Film Center nearly......

We realized that we were living our rock and roll fantasy when we started getting chances to write about zombie movies. (What can we say? We're a simple person, and we have simple needs.) Things got even better when we got to start talking or emailing with directors of said zombie movies -- like Matthew Leutwyler, Bay Area native and director of Dead and Breakfast, a zombie film with musical interludes by Zacharia Selwyn.......

There's only one show to see this weekend, and it's playing tonight at 10:30 at the Roxie. We wrote about seeing Evil Aliens last Saturday at the (Yet) Another Hole in the Head festival, and we f**cking loved it. IndieFest patron Mike Skurko raves about it on the IndieBlog, IMDB commenters are going nuts about it, and we promise you will too. This is how serious we are about this: we are going to......

We can't even begin to tell you how tired we are, but it's a great tired, like we're running a marathon, if they had marathons where you're sitting down watching blood go everywhere and drinking beer. (If they actually had marathons like this we might find a reason to exercise, but until then, hello sloth!) After another carb-o-rific breakfast, the 22 took us back over to the Roxie for (yet) another day of (Yet)......

While our better half is very interested in seeing Cinderella Man, the Depression-era story of boxer James Braddock, we have been less convinced. We feel vindicated in our contempt by the fact that Nemesis of SFist Mick LaSalle loves Richie Cunningham's latest foray into directing so much that he's calling it "what is easily the best American film so far this year." Honey, please just admit that you are wrong and we are right.......

Oh holy cow SFist loves scary movies. Last year, before we had this glorious soapbox to teeter on, we spent two glorious nights at SF IndieFest's first horror film festival Another Hole in the Head. In fact, when SFist was stil in fetal form, we remember telling the folks who would be our fellow editors how much we were looking forward to covering this year's festival -- and now it is upon us! (We......
