Two tasteless families-Divine and her egg-obsessed, mentally ill mother (Edith Massey), and the murderous Connie and Raymond Marble (Mink Stole, David Lochery)-battle to the death for the title of "The Filthiest People Alive" in John Waters' camp-freak- trash-cult sensation. The mother of midnights directed by John Waters. (USA, 1972/1997) The search is on to find an all new Filthiest Person Alive! In 2003, Renttecca won the title of filthiest person alive in the most disgusting pre-show to ever grace the stage at Midnight Mass.

AUGUST 15th POLTERGEIST Featuring The Pre-Show Specacular POLTER-CHRIST! "They're here!" When 6-year-old Heather O'Rourke is kidnapped by a group of vengeful poltergeists, horrified parents Craig T.

But once the stuffy locals get an eyeful of the scream queen's ample assets, all hell busts out and breaks loose. Can "The Madonna Of The Macabre" find love with a studly cinema owner, avoid her creepy Great Uncle, titillate the town's teens and become a Las Vegas dance sensation all without being burned alive at the stake? Cassandra Peterson stars in this sexy comedy hit, filled with wild wisecracks, campy chaos and scary movie spoofs, all poured into the lowest-cut black gown in horror movie history! Directed by James Signorelli. (USA, 1988) After twelve fabulous summer seasons of Midnight Mass at The Bridge Theatre, it only seems fitting to have the ultimate finale feature the hugely anticipated return of the one-and-only Elvira, live and in- person. Peaches and Elvira have been touring the country with an anniversary show celebrating the 1988 cult film classic, Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark and are finally bringing it home and giving the show its San Francisco premiere. Peaches' dear ghoul-friend, Elvira, will make a rare appearance in full goth drag with performance, an on-stage interview, audience Q&A, post-show fan meet and greet, and more- both nights! Also, the two dark divas plan to give the Midnight Mass audience a never-before-seen sneak peak at a scene from All About Evil, the upcoming feature film co-starring Cassandra Peterson (Elvira) and Peaches Christ, directed by Joshua Grannell.
