The Regent Theatre is offering the chance to check into spooky season and get a music trivia fix — simultaneously. The Arlington movie house tonight (September 7) hosts the Boston premiere of Ghosts of the Chelsea Hotel and Other Rock & Roll Stories, a documentary dedicated to the Manhattan landmark that collecting culture-forward bohemians within its dingy walls. Andy Warhol once praised the Chelsea as “a glamorous vortex of artists, celebrities, and eccentrics.” Sid Vicious (understandably) labeled it “an artistic […]

Jason Greenough — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 11:55:01 +0000

Editor’s Note: Usually, the best part about the comedy scene blossoming in and around Boston this time of year is that there is never a shortage of shows to check out, as homegrown talent, national headliners, and open mics galore make their way through and around the area.

Killing Is His Business: Dave Mustaine slashes ravers in ‘Halloween Pussy Trap Kill! Kill!’

Victoria Wasylak — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 13:13:46 +0000

Here’s a concept: Imagine the Saw chronicles’ evil mastermind Jigsaw, but voiced by Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine. This weekend, as diehard horror fans line up to see the eighth installment of the (seemingly never-ending) Saw series, Halloween Pussy Trap Kill!

The work of film producer and “b-movie godfather” Roger Goreman, Halloween Pussy Trap Kill! […]
