Joe Dante is coming to the Music Box in Chicago

Filmmaker Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling) is coming to the Music Box this Friday, August 10th for a special double feature, co-presented by The New Cult Canon! At 9:30pm, Mr. Dante will present a screening of The Hole, his still-undistributed 2009 horror film. The film marks Dante’s confident return to a genre he invested with great B-movie scares and wit in The Howling, Piranha, and Gremlins.

Then, at midnight, Mr. Dante will introduce his brilliant 1990 sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch, shown here in a pristine 35mm print from his own personal library. With his follow up to the highly successful Gremlins, Joe Dante got the keys to the kingdom for Gremlins 2 and delivered one of the most gloriously anarchic films in recent studio history. This movie has everything, including more Gremlins, high tech gadgets, Hulk Hogan and a splashy musical number!

Between screenings, there will be a Q&A session hosted by The AV Club’s Scott Tobias. For more info on the event, check out the website.
