The Hollywood Fringe Festival is an
annual, open-access, community-derived event celebrating freedom of
expression and collaboration in the performing arts community. Each June
during the Hollywood Fringe, the arts infiltrate the Hollywood
neighborhood: fully equipped theaters, parks, clubs, churches,
restaurants and other unexpected places host hundreds of productions by
local, national, and international arts companies and independent
performers.
This one looks fun though:
Evil schemes are afoot in Cauldron, a metropolis of merchants built into
the caldera of a long-dormant volcano. To foil the agenda of evil
cultists, The Brute Squad must brave haunted jungle ruins, slay mighty
dragons, and bind themselves to a layer of the infinite Abyss. Will
their swords and spells be enough to save the Shackled City?
It's Friday the 13th! this Friday.
Starts Friday, Aug 13 with Friday The 13th IV ( The Final Chapter)

DREAM NO EVIL (1970) and DARK AUGUST (1976)
Aug 15, 2021 7:30 PM
Free, Must RSVP
Online
DREAM NO EVIL (1970): There’s a good number of uneasy terror epics that
dip their toes in dreamlike delirium, but this one right here is the
realest of deals. A peculiar young high-diver (Brooke Mills) is pulled
away from her Hell-themed circus act (!!!) to live with her undead
father (veteran actor Edmond O’Brien) in a surreal landscape that’s as
much Lars von Trier’s Dogville as it is rural gothic.DARK AUGUST (1976): Fleeing his fresh divorce and big city headaches, a
swingin’ New Yorker relocates to Vermont and immediately mows down the
granddaughter of the local embittered elderly warlock. Psychic assaults
and ‘70s occult hysteria ensue as rural sorcery is unleashed.
