Learn Your Lesson…To Death - A Horrifying ShockucationPost an Event »
Oddball Films and curator Kat Shuchter present Learn Your Lesson...To Death - A Horrifying Shockucation, the eighth in a series of programs highlighting the most ridiculous, insane and camptastic shockucational films and TV specials of the collection. This month, we're getting a little morbid for the month of Halloween with a deadly collection of shocking shorts and cartoons. Officers learn about using deadly force in the police training film Shoot, Don’t Shoot II (1972) and adorable cartoon bunny rabbits teach us about the Death Penalty and racial inequality in the justice system in The Punishment Fits the Crime (1972). A little jewish boy learns about loss and sitting shiva in The Day Grandpa Died (1970). Sid Davis, master of the shock safety film traces back the causes of one reckless boy's senseless death in What Made Sammy Speed? (1957). Gracie Barrie sings about justifiable homicide in Stone Cold Dead in the Market (194 6) to teach you boys not to stray. In Ghost Rider (1982) the new boy just made a friend on the school bus, but why is he the only one that sees her and what lessons can he learn from this mysterious girl? Plus! Horrific excerpts from heroin scare film Dead is Dead and with even more snippets, surprises and early bird specials, this is one event you'll just die if you miss!
