Hold Up: SERIAL MOM – 30th Anniversary Screening!

The spooky vibes don’t have to end on October 31st! Join comedian and HOLD UP programmer Alice Rose as she drags out the halloween season for one more week with SERIAL MOM. Written and directed by the legendary John Waters (Hairspray, Cry Baby, Pink Flamingos), SERIAL MOM is a satirical black comedy film about a suburban housewife-slash-serial killer who preys on anyone who slights her teenage children. A delightfully transgressive exposition on the hypocrisies of Puritanical America, and the absurdity of the criminal justice system, SERIAL MOM is a hilariously dark true-crime satire filled with cartoonish violence and infinitely quotable dialogue.

 

 

Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) is a picture-perfect housewife in suburban Baltimore who has everything. Yet, when a teacher criticizes her son Chip (Matthew Lillard) at a parent-teacher conference, she sets off on an unstoppable killing spree.
