Title
The American Astronaut (2001)
The Braniac (1962)
Cleopatra Schwartz trailer is a clip from The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)
Dinner Party (1945) [Short] Watch this film on dinner etiquette and you'll never again dare to eat a meal in the presence of another human being.
Dr. Caligari (1989)
Forbidden Zone (1980)
From Hell It Came (1957)
G.I. Joe PSA parodies [Short]
Gravity (1976) [Short] One of two David Wechter parodies of early 50's educational films.
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (2001)
Metropolis (1927) This one is sort of off-theme for the theater, but sometimes we just get confused.
School, Girls and You (1983) [Short] From "Likely Stories, Vol. 2" Another fine David Wechter parody of early 50's educational films.
Scopitones [Musical shorts] "Scopitone films are the early 1960s precursers to today's music videos. Distributed on 16mm film with a magnetic mono soundtrack, they were made to be shown on a Scopitone jukebox at swanky cocktail lounges, first in France, then America."
Shake Hands With Danger (1975) [Short; industrial safety] Every industrial safety film should have a theme song. But they generally don't, so this one really stands out. We have adopted it as the Bad Idea Theater camp song. Also, you wouldn't think a safety film that depicts fingers ground off, and hands severed, would get such laughs. But it does; go figure...
What's Up, Hideous Sun Demon? (1983) aka  Revenge of the Sun Demon
Wizard People, Dear Reader [Harry Potter comic narration]
