Join us this Friday for the first Sub Rosa Drive-In double feature. In lieu of the usual trailers that we run, we’ll be showing the old VHS cult classic, Heavy Metal Parking Lot prior to our feature presentation screening of the ultimate heavy metal turkey, Black Roses. As usual, the show starts at 9:00pm and we’ll be in the back lot of Simply Green Biofuels at 547 Central Avenue in Dover. Be there. You don’t want to miss this one.
Heavy Metal Parking Lot documents the American cultural decline of the mid-1980’s as one man with a microphone and one man with a camera interview anyone who will give them the time of day at the Maryland stop of the Judas Priest/Dokken US tour. The results are both sad and hilarious as the true face of rock and roll is unwittingly captured on film for all time.
Black Roses pits small town America against the evil power of heavy metal as the titular band moves into town to rehearse for their upcoming tour and bring the children of the town under their evil thrall. The only person who can stop the band and bring the children back is a school teacher with a righteous ’stache. Most of the soundtrack is provided by the band King Kobra, whose singer now sells real estate as a woman in Miami.
Once again, a huge thank you to Synapse Films for helping us get the permission to show the movie at no cost.
So uh, I showed up, early, and the parking lot was blocked off by road cones.
I circled back around to see if there was a human to talk to or another way in and came up with nothing. Puzzlement became frustration and I left. I’m confused. What part of the protocol did I miss here?
