Aaieeeee!! Just when you thought the Another Hole In The Head Indiefest horror film fest was over and it was safe to go back outside..... NO!!! Local stand-up splatter comics the Primitive Screwheads are presenting their blood-soaked Night of the Living Dead show, that both mocks -- and fears! -- the zombies stalking our land. $21, Doors at 7, show at 8, at the Hole in the Head Playhouse at 1333 Indiana (x 25th, in......

Tonight at the Darkroom Theater (2263 Mission St. at 19th) is the Miss American Fido Show, a comedy spoof of American Idol and an "open mike" contest to find the worst act in SF. The Producer and Host of the show is Mark Tyne, the Music Director for the "Blood Splatter Theater" group Primitive Screwheads and the self proclaimed "King of Bad Entertainment". During the show performers of any age, with any act, are......

The Stunt People are to movies what The Primitive Screwheads are to theatre. (As you might have noticed, we love the Screwheads, so we consider the comparision high praise indeed.) We first heard about this SF based group of action filmmakers when they completed their most recent feature, Contour, which has already had several sold-out screenings at the 4 Star Theatre. Contour, which was nominated for Best Fight Choreography and Best Action Sequence at......

While we love everything about the Another Hole In The Head film festival, we're especially stoked about the The Primitive Screwheads' production of their new show, The Chainsaw Massacres, at CELLspace June 14 at 9 p.m. We first fell for these guys last HoleHead, when we saw their brilliant Evil Dead Live, and we had a blast at their Re-Animator of the Dead: The Tale of Herbert West. Their new show looks to be......

SF Indie's Another Hole In The Head is the film fest we enjoy the most (that's why we sponsor it), and we couldn't be happier to see it back for its third year of blood, guts, and mayhem. Last year, we saw nearly every film at the fest, and have the post traumatic stress disorder to prove it. This year is no different, with SFist's crack film fest team at the Roxie Film Center nearly......

Full Disclosure: Any last scraps of journalistic "integrity" regarding this show were swept away when we saw that our earlier interview with The Primitive Screwheads excerpted in the program for Re-Animator of the Dead: The Tale of Herbert West. Our first blurb! Look out, David Manning! Going to see a Primitive Screwheads show at the Off-Market Theater is always weird -- you wait in one room, are ushered into an elevator, and eventually enter......

Assuming you aren't going to the SF Weekly Music awards tonight, and that you have "$30, $50, $100 or whatever you can afford", and you feel like drinkin', you should head out to Cafe Royale for a happy hour with SFist's best-loved State Smasher Matt Gonzalez and Gary Ruskin (look out, it's a damned PDF), executive director of Commercial Alert. From 6-8 tonight you can bend elbows with our favorite runner up since Suzette......

Oh, how we adore the Primitive Screwheads. Our first experience with them was at the final (sob) performance of their most glorious Evil Dead: Live, in which the guerilla (to wit: they rehearse in whatever unoccupied classrooms they can find at a local college, their props all seem to come from Mythbusters:The Home Version, and we're not really clear on their adherence to copyright law) theatre company brilliantly deconstructed the classic Sam Raimi trilogy......

Have we ever mentioned how much we love the Primitive Screwhead? Our infatuation began when we attended their final performance of Evil Dead: Live, and we've been slavering to see what they'd do next. They'd mentioned something about a Re-Animator: Live, but, dude, we're part of the OnDemand generation and we want something NOW!...
