The Pope of Trash pays homage to the Merchant of Menace
John Waters introduced a special anniversary screening of his 1988 hit “Hairspray” at the October 10, 2013 Senator Theatre reopening gala.

While everybody who is anybody was at Belvedere Square last night for the grand reopening (after 18 months of darkness) of the historic Senator Theatre – including host John Waters, who introduced the 25th anniversary screening of his equally historic mainstream hit Hairspray – I was at home watching Waters’s typically terrific tribute to Vincent Price, Turner Classic Movies’ “Star of the Month.”
How wickedly apropos for TCM to profile master horror villain Price in its October/Halloween celebration – and how fitting to have schlock-horror fan Waters deliver it!).
I LOVE this! Thanks for posting, Tom!
