Cult filmmaker Frank Henenlotter will be at Anthology Film Archives tonight to present the theatrical premiere of the uncut version of one of his many cult classics, 1988’s Brain Damage, at 7:00, followed by the unforgettable Frankenhooker at 9:30, sticking around for Q&As after each screening. Tomorrow Henenlotter will be back for more, unveiling the creepy joy of Basket Case at 4:45, participating in a postscreening Q&A with star Kevin Van Hentenryck, and the two will then introduce the sequel, Basket Case 2, at 7:00. (We watched them both back-to-back one rainy Saturday afternoon a bunch of years ago and have never been the same.) Henenlotter will also introduce a 9:30 repeat screening of Frankenhooker. The horrific weekend tribute concludes on Sunday as Henenlotter and Van Hentenryck continue to haunt Second Ave. and Second St. with more Brain Damage (4:30), Basket Case, (6:30), and Basket Case 2 (8:30).
