Phantom of the Paradise – 50th Anniversary of DePalma’s Musical Horror Cult Classic – at the Guild Cinema Saturday, February 10 – 10:30 pm only!

Directed by Brian DePalma –1974 – 92m.

Before Rocky Horror Picture Show, there was this Brian DePalma ’70s ground breaking Cult Classic!

Paul Williams wrote the acclaimed score for this musical horror classic, and stars as an evil record tycoon haunted and taunted by the disfigured composer Winslow Leach (William Finley, Sisters) he once wronged.  Cheered by the Los Angeles Times as a “delightful, outrageous…visual triumph,” and also starring Jessica Harper (Suspiria, Shock Treatment) and Gerrit Graham (Used Cars, Terrorvision), this hilarious send-up of the glam rock era is pure entertainment from beginning to end.

“A crazy, savage film — iconoclastic and truly liberating.” – Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine

“This is still a movie to be seen and heard.” – Andrew Sarris, Village Voice

“I watched with delight and surprise, never bored and increasingly amazed at the brilliance and originality of what I was seeing. I was very sorry when it was over and long to see it again.” – Sheelagh Lebovich, Japan Times 

The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Ave NE in the Nob Hill area.
