Star Trek: New Voyages

4:00 pm
This non-profit internet series follows the continuing voyages of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, picking up where the third season of the show left off. New Voyages is a wonderful tribute to Gene Roddenberry’s vision, featuring high production values with sets nearly identical to those used in the original series and some familiar faces from the original cast, including Walter Koenig, William Windom, and Barbara Luna. (An episode guest-starring George Takei and Grace Lee Whitney is forthcoming.)

Note: This screening is free and open to the general public without a convention membership. Seating is available on a first-come first-served basis in room 1306.

Stupid Teenagers Must Die!

8:00 pm
It's a classic tale. . . It's the 1980s and a group of high school kids are getting together to hold a séance in a haunted house off the old highway. All the typical 80s horror movie characters are there: the cool hero, the innocent girlfriend, the goth chick, the tough guy, the beautiful blonde girl, the shy guy in love with the beautiful blonde girl, a couple of lipstick lesbians and two big geeks. In true 80s horror movie fashion, weird things start happening around the house. . . people are dying preposterously bloody deaths, girls are getting naked for no apparent reason and people walk into pitch black rooms and say things like, "Is someone in here?" As the poor, hapless kids are sliced and diced, it's up to our hero to either lead them to safety or watch as the house is filled with blood and well, you know! R, 73 minutes

D.N. Angel

10:00 pm
Daisuke Niwa begins to live a double life, literally, when he turns fourteen and the dashing master thief, Dark Mousy, begins to periodically possess him. To make matters worse, Dark tends to take over whenever Daisuke thinks about Risa Harada, a girl on whom he has a horrible crush. A complicated love triangle ensues when Risa falls head over heals for Dark the first time she sees him inhabiting Daisuke's body. PG

Saturday

Mondo Collecto

10:00 am
Mondo Collecto is a thrilling documentary that boldly reveals the world of the Modern Collector. Produced by filmmaker R.P. Whalen and featuring Ted V. Mikels, Mondo Collecto is the result of a four-year project that presents some of the most unusual collectors and their collections that Whalen could find using a very minute budget. The end result is a fascinating, thrilling, and sometimes shocking documentary that will entertain you from beginning to end with all points in between.

Chrono Crusade

The year is 1928. Jazz is hot, bootleg liquor is king and the idle rich of a nation have discovered a horrifying new past-time: summoning demons! To combat this growing threat, a new order of Holy Warriors has arisen. This is the story of Sister Rosette, an elite Exorcist in the Order of Magdalene, whose soul has been bound by alchemy to that of the devil Chrono. Armed with Sacred ammo, they form an unstoppable team, ready to wage war at a moments notice… because when the gates of Hell are opened, someone’s got to put the devils back! PG-13

Full Metal Alchemist

6:00 pm
The attempt by two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Eldric, to resurrect their dead mother through the power of alchemy has played havok with their bodies. Edward is now lacking two limbs and Alphonse has fared even worse, his spirit trapped in an ancient suit of armor.

A smash hit in Japan, this anime blends humor, action, and drama in an engaging mix. PG, 105 minutes.

Case Closed: The Time-Bombed Skyscraper

10:00 pm
The city is in the grip of a crazed bomber and nobody is safe as a crushing wave of terror washes over the innocent citizens. Planes, trains, and massive towers all threaten to light up the night sky; the sick whims of a brutal lunatic played out in sudden balls of fire. Conan Edogawa finds himself in a desperate race against the clock, an explosive game of cat and mouse with a deviant madman…and every second counts. Can he unravel the maniacal malcontent’s schemes before the next timer reaches zero? You never know when your time might come. PG, 95 minutes
