Dr. Castle and his Cinemaniacs Examines: House on Haunted Hill December 18, 2009

A unique theater experience will premiere at the Geyer Performing Arts Center in Scottdale, Pa., that will infuse live comedy skits, movie mockery in the style of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" and even a holiday gorging demonstration by a professional competitive eater. Money will be also be raised to honor Pittsburgh‘s fallen heroes.

In a live theater show, "Dr. Castle and his Cinemaniacs Examine: House on Haunted Hill" puts an eccentric doctor, an indifferent temp assistant and a living mutant pumpkin into a movie theater to watch and mock the 1959 B-movie classic "House on Haunted Hill", starring Vincent Price and directed by William Castle.

As an extra treat, during the intermission on the Dec. 18 show, professional competitive eater Brad “The Lunatic” Sciullo will devour an entire gingerbread village in under ten minutes. Sciullo holds the world record for cannoli eating and milk chugging and has been featured on The Food Network, The Travel Channel and The Colbert Report. A portion of the proceeds from the Dec. 18 show will go toward the Pittsburgh Fallen Heroes Fund. Sciullo’s cousin, Officer Paul J. Sciullo II, was one of three Pittsburgh Police Officers killed in the line of duty earlier this year.

The show will premiere at the Geyer Performing Arts Center, 111 Pittsburgh St., Scottdale, Pa., at 7 p.m. on Dec. 18 and 19. All tickets $8.
