Monster protest against FRIGHT NIGHT at the Warner Grand Theater in San Pedro: “WE SHALL OVERCOME!” Fright Night producers undaunted by picketing from a legion of Hell’s monsters

LOS ANGELES, CA—“Don’t listen to a bunch of worm-eaten ghouls!” shouted Fright Night producer Noah Korda.  “Come to FRIGHT NIGHT this Friday and have a spine-chilling good time for only thirteen dollars!”  But Korda was not alone in the streets of San Pedro on the afternoon of Sunday, May 31, as the glorious Warner Grand Theater was picketed by ghastly specters and goblins from the ASPCM — the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters. The diabolical creatures shambled back and forth in front of the beautiful art deco theater, waving claws and signs with slogans such as, “BOOOO TO FRIGHT NIGHT” and “UNFAIR TO UNDEAD.”  Their protest was timed to inform the public about alleged “bad working conditions for monsters” at the monthly live shows that combine hilariously bad horror movies, great bands, sexy burlesque and big surprises.

Korda persisted, despite the occasional attempt to devour his brain and other vital organs.  “What these monsters don’t understand is that we’re doing them a favor.  Without FRIGHT NIGHT, who would keep them busy scaring audiences?  We’ve got a great show for a low price, with bands like The Coffin Draggers, Frankenstein, Rosemary’s Billygoat, and the

Mad Marionettes, plus pulse-pounding burlesque from Miss Bonnie Delight.  Not to mention a terrific selection of vendors.  With a lineup like this, the monsters will be busier than they’ve been in years… and they’ll love it!” Co-producer Richard Becker added, “And don’t forget, we give discounts for groups and birthday parties.  The monsters will have a party like they’ve never had before.  How can they complain? But somehow ASPCM members say they can.  “Korda and Becker aren’t listening to us yet, but they will.  We’ll be back to protest again… and again… and AGAIN!  We won’t give up until the public KNOWS how we’re being treated at FRIGHT NIGHT!”

Fright Night producers say they’ll be ready for as many marches as the creeping terrors want to stage.

A historic site — the center of supernatural controversy? This past Sunday’s monster protest took place just outside one of L.A.’s great theatrical treasures, the Warner Grand Theater, site of FRIGHT NIGHT.  The historic Warner Grand opened in 1931, billed as “The Castle of Your Dreams,” designed for film and vaudeville shows.  Its beautiful art deco design is lovely from the outside and astounding on the inside.  Built by the Pantages chain, the theater was in decline for some years until historians, preservationists and the city of Los Angeles worked together to preserve it.  You can learn more about the Warner Grand at http://www.warnergrand.org, and you can find out about helping keep the Warner Grand alive at http://www.grandvision.org.

The living dead protest FRIGHT NIGHT at the Warner Grand Theater in San Pedro!
Show producers “Unfair to the Undead,” say ghosts, vampires, zombies and other fiends from beyond the grave — protest planned for Sunday, May 31st, 2009 from 1:30pm to 3pm

LOS ANGELES, CA—“We already work hard enough,” said a “spooksperson” for the ASPCM — the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monsters.  “Now FRIGHT NIGHT wants us to work even harder!  We’ve got rights, too.”  But the producers of Fright Night are adamant about keeping ghouls working round-the-clock for their new series of live shows that combine hilariously bad horror movies, great bands, sexy burlesque and big surprises.

“I’m really sorry,” said Fright Night founder Noah Korda, “but you just can’t get this kind of thrills, fun, and excitement without keeping monsters really busy.  We’ve got an audience coming June 5 that we need to shock, scare, and horrify.  It’s one great show for a low price, and we have to ask a lot from all the creeps we’re bringing in to scare people.”

Standing outside the beautiful art deco Warner Grand Theater in San Pedro in the foggy dead of night, the ghastly representative from ASPCM disagreed. The monsters have decided to show up outside the Warner Grand Theater on Sunday, May 31st, 2009 from 1:30pm until 3pm to make their feelings known.

“We wake up at the crack of night, have a fast cup of blood to get us moving, and before we can so much as terrorize a neighborhood, there’s these Fright Night guys putting us through our paces at the theater.  We need breaks!  We need better crypts!  We need a retirement plan!  I mean, I know we never retire, but still!  You know what I’m sayin’!”

The creatures from beyond the grave did admit they received some perks from Fright Night.  “Well, okay, we do like seeing all the great bands, like The Coffin Draggers, Frankenstein, Rosemary’s Billygoat, and the Mad Marionettes.  Plus, the sexy red-hot burlesque from Miss Bonnie Delight gets us jumping out of our coffins.  And the vendors are fun, too.  But it’s the principle of the thing!”

Co-producer Richard Becker said, adding, “I don’t think the monsters are keeping our low ticket prices in mind.  It’s $13 to get in, with discounts for groups and birthday parties.  I just don’t think we can install a Jacuzzi in every mausoleum when we’re giving the public a deal like that.”

The ASPCM rep was adamant.  “We’re going to march.  It may be a few of us or it may be a lot, but our voices will be heard.  Groaning, howling, growling.  All that stuff.”
