Day 18 of 26Tarantula Hawk
Practical effects unit shot the canyon attack tonight — a 14-foot puppet rig, four operators, no CGI. Dust, hydraulic oil, and one very startled wrangler. The dailies look like 1957 in the best possible way.

The Projectionist's Pick
Tonight's reel from the booth — what we'd queue up first if you only stayed for one feature.
Blaxploitation · 1973 · Dir. Jack Hill
Coffy
Pam Grier, a sawed-off shotgun, and every pusher in town with a target on his back. This is the picture that defines the grindhouse: funk score, razor blades in the afro, and a third-reel reckoning that earned every cent of its 42nd Street ticket. Pure midnight-movie heat.
- The breakout that turned Pam Grier into the queen of 1970s exploitation
- Roy Ayers' funk score — the only soundtrack worth playing twice through the lobby
- Restored from the original 1.85:1 negative for our midnight slot

Filmmaker spotlight
"Every studio told me a 16mm nun-with-a-switchblade revenge picture was unreleasable. Planet Grindhouse was the only place that said, 'shoot it dirtier, cut it meaner, and leave the blood in.'"

Post
Picture lockSaucers Over Sundown
Final cut delivered to scoring. We've handed it to a four-piece theremin-and-Hammond ensemble for the score — the whole second act is going to sound like 1957 staring up at the night sky.
Restoration
4K restorationThe Blob (1958)
Sound team rebuilt the original optical track from a single surviving studio reel. Bacharach's theme has never sounded this clean coming out of a speaker pole.
Delivery
