Peaches Christ wants you to come celebrate San Francisco's naughtiest film ever with this 40th Anniversary screening, and first-ever official Blu-ray and DVD release from Synapse Films. THUNDERCRACK!, one of the jewels of American cult cinema, has finally been given a complete restoration treatment thanks to Synapse Films and Melinda McDowell. This will be the first time this restored, original director's cut of the film will be screened, complete with intermission. (from the soon-to-be-released Synapse DVD) In 1975, director Curt McDowell and writer/actor George Kuchar created the exceptionally perverse and utterly brilliant THUNDERCRACK!, a film not recommended for those with tender sensibilities.
The 7:30pm evening screening hosted by San Francisco cult leader and luminary, PEACHES CHRIST! Peaches will lead a Q&A with stars Melinda McDowell, Ken Scudder and composer Mark Ellinger. She will also introduce a screening of the rare Cult McDowell short film Siamese Twin Pinheads

Special appearance by MEDUSA THE MAD GORILLA!
A true cult classic that has shocked, excited and amazed audiences worldwide for 40 years, THUNDERCRACK! is the world's only underground art adult horror film, complete with four men, three women and rampaging circus animals. With the initial setup of an atmospheric gothic tale - a dark and stormy night breakdown featuring a creepy old house on the hill - it quickly turns into an eerie orgy of graphic humor, horror and sex. A tour de force of underground filmmaking with a plot beyond description, this film fully exposes itself with amazing dialogue and trash-noir lighting through which to peer at the pickles, the puke and the polymorphs.
Don't miss this special event and screening, only in San Francisco.
