Unknown Pleasures presents THUNDERCRACK!

Join us at Glad Day Bookshop if you dare for a rare screening of the cult classic… THUNDERCRACK!

The world’s only underground kinky art-porn horror film and it’s every bit as unhinged as that sounds. What starts as a classic gothic setup (a dark and stormy night, a broken-down car, a creepy mansion on a hill) quickly spirals into a delirious fever dream of sex, shocks, and circus animals. With jaw-dropping dialogue, trash-noir lighting, and a plot that defies logic (or maybe sanity), THUNDERCRACK! is a gloriously filthy cult masterpiece that drips with camp, chaos, and cinematic sleaze.

Please note the film will have a ten minute intermission.

Director: Curt McDowell | Runtime: 160 mins | Release Year: 1975 | Rating: NR (Not Rated) | Genre: Adult, Comedy, Horror | Country: USA | Language: English
