Oregon group pokes fun with bad film fest
Tuesday, April 01, 2008 | No comments posted.
ASHLAND (AP) — There are Hollywood flicks, independent films put on at Sundance and Cannes and B movies. Then there is the stuff the Bad Film Society puts on.
In Ashland, known as home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the annual independent film festival gets under way this week.
The society is having some fun with the high-minded festival by putting on The Ashland Co-Dependent Film Festival on Sunday.
At the top of the bill is “The Giant Spider Invasion,” a 1975 effort about aliens from another dimension invading Wisconsin.
Special effects include a fur-covered VW Bug driven in reverse so that the red tail lights serve as the monster’s glowing eyes.
The society promises daffy and unusual short subjects, and it invites audience members to bring their own, appropriately trashy videos.
