Queer Horror: DEATH BECOMES HER in 35mm

  • The Hollywood Theatre 4122 Northeast Sandy Boulevard Portland, OR, 97212 United States (map)

QUEER HORROR returns for its first ever re-watch with DEATH BECOMES HER (1992) on 35mm! Hosted by Portland’s premier drag clown Carla Rossi, this resurrected edition opens with a preshow starring Pepper Pepper and Carla—re-mounting their epic fight from 2017—and all sponsored by Double Mountain Brewery and Cidery!

Directed by Robert Zemeckis and co-written by queer screenwriter Martin Donovan, 1992’s DEATH BECOMES HER turns lifelong Hollywood rivals Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep) and Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn) into immortal frenemies after they acquire an elixir of youth kept by the mysterious Lisle von Rhoman (Isabella Rossellini). Unfortunately everlasting youth—and Madeline and Helen’s feud—survives well after their pulses cease. Co-starring Bruce Willis, DEATH BECOMES HER is jam-packed with breakthrough effects, iconic one-liners, and legendary performances that cement its status as a camp classic for an eternity to come.

NOTE: to protect our performers, masks will be required in the auditorium (except when actively eating and drinking) during this event.
