Psychotronix Redux



After experiencing a painfully extended period that included more than a year of lockdown and NO SCREENINGS, ZERO, ZILCH, ZIP, NADA, NONE, it boggles the mind that in 2023 one can find multiple classic film events in one geographic area on the same day. Last December, we were THRILLED and DELIGHTED to return to Foothill College for the 30th anniversary KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival.



Had a blast last Saturday night presenting one delightful, delirious and de-lovely KFJC Psychotronix Film Festival featuring an appearance by special guest John Stanley, author, prolific film reviewer and exceptional horror host from Creature Features.



Among other things, last Saturday's show presented a chance for yours truly to break out his collection of ultra-cheesy Soundies!







Yes, cheesy Soundies are a specialty of this festival!



Always enjoy running vintage 1950's commercials for a capacity crowd in the 21st century!



Trailers from my favorite B-movies and genre films are always fun!









We screened some excellent blooper reels, including glorious gaffes from Dick Van Dyke and Get Smart, although not the following compendium of vintage 1960's screw-ups.



The Psychotronix Gang shall be back at Foothill College next fall with more blasts from the past!



Until then, Sci Fi Bob Ekman and Scott Moon carry on the Psychotronix spirit with shows at the Orinda Theater.


I'm very proud of the work I have done over the past 25+ years with Sci Fi Bob and Scott, both talented, knowledgeable, resourceful, creative and inspired film collector/curator/programmers. Keep an eye on the Orinda Theater website for details on their upcoming events.
