Queer Horror kicks off Pride season with a 35mm screening of DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! Continuing a year of women-centric programming, this Pride special opens with a spectacular drag pageant featuring Portland’s fiercest queens, all hosted by Portland’s premier drag clown Carla Rossi!
Written by Lona Williams and directed by Michael Patrick Jann, 1999’s DROP DEAD GORGEOUS follows Minnesotan teenage beauty queens vying for the title of American Teen Princess – and the killer intent on taking out the competition! Bringing together a jaw-droppingly talented cast including Kirstie Alley, Kirsten Dunst, Ellen Barkin, Allison Janney, Brittany Murphy, Denise Richards, Mindy Sterling, Nora Dunn, Mo Gaffney, and the film debut of Amy Adams, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS is an endlessly-quotable black comedy and a modern camp classic that proves if looks can kill, laughter is twice as deadly.
