Stairway to hell
For acne-ridden high-school wallflowers, one word was enough to inspire terror: prom. Apparently, the folks at the Coolidge Corner Theatre (290 Harvard Street, Brookline, 617.734.2500) can commiserate, hence their decision to devote their annual 12-hour fright-flick marathon to the horrors of the annual soirée. The crown jewel in this gory tiara will be Prom Night, the 1980 classic starring Jamie Lee Curtis. On October 31 at 11 p.m., undead emcee extraordinaire J. Cannibal and his busty Black Cat Burlesque girls will kick off the evening with “awkward prom awesomeness” galore. We’ve got chills already.
