Night Light Showing at Cinema Salem: "Multiple Maniacs"
What makes a film “cult?” Is it a lost masterpiece? A “so bad it’s good” camp treasure? Or, like the haunted VHS tape in THE RING, is it a dark, dark door that should have never been opened? Every Friday night, Cinema Salem brings you entries from the cult canon and new nuggets of negative energy, ready to be unearthed. While Salem sleeps, Cinema Salem keeps the light burning.
Before POLYESTER, HAIRSPRAY, and the relative comfort of mid-budget filmmaking, John Waters was a filthy-minded kid, running wild in the streets of Baltimore with his merry band of “Dreamlanders,” fronted by gutter superstar and ur-Queen, Divine. MULTIPLE MANIACS is an essential product and document of that time, taking aim with its off-the-charts scatological satire at everything square and sacrosanct in middle-American life.Date and Time
