Electric Sheep and Strange Attractor Present:
\nThe Lair of the White Worm<\/I> + Talk with Flipside programmers<\/B><\/p>\n

‘It has a lair, it has a worm, the worm is white.’ Roger Ebert<\/I><\/p>\n

Electric Sheep<\/I> and Strange Attractor<\/A> are proud to present a rare outing for this unjustly neglected horror romp from the late Ken Russell as part of Ken Russell Forever<\/A>, a tribute to the director organised by the good people of Scala Forever to coincide with the release of The Devils<\/I> on DVD in March that runs from 10 to 20 March 2012.<\/p>\n

Tenuously based on a 1911 novel by Bram Stoker – itself inspired by the ancient tale of the Lambton Wyrm, a staple for every book of true monster stories – this shamelessly camp horror comedy is generally considered to be Russell’s last great film.<\/p>\n

Our Ken gleefully captures the spirits of Hammer and Carry On<\/I>, doses them both with LSD and then dangles them over a bottomless pit containing an 80ft phallus while standing at the side pointing and laughing.<\/p>\n

Featuring a soon-to-be-all-star cast including Hugh Grant, Peter Capaldi and Amanda Donahoe, gags and gore galore, not to mention sex, folk rock and slapstick, The Lair of the White Worm<\/I> is a joyful outrage from beginning to end. <\/p>\n

Plus talk<\/B> with BFI archive curators and Flipside<\/A> programmers Vic Pratt and Will Fowler.<\/p>\n

Advance tickets \u00c2\u00a35 from WeGotTickets<\/A>.<\/B><\/p>\n

Ken Russell Forever runs from 10 to 20 March. For more information on other Russell Forever events, please see the Ken Russell Forever website<\/A>, the Facebook event page<\/A>, or follow Scala Forever on Facebook<\/A> and Twitter<\/A>. <\/p>\n
