Buffy the Vampire Slayer Sing-A-Long

Midnight — Friday February 16 (also February 17 and 18)

WHERE:IFC Center, 323 6th Ave at W 3rd St
COST:$15
SUMMARY:”The musical episode is a fan favorite and inspired such adoration that it just had to jump to the big screen. Buffy fans (and those who have yet to be converted) can watch it larger-than-life, surrounded by 200 singing, shouting, and laughing fellow Buffy-heads, with subtitles to help lead the audience in a sing-a-long with all the characters. And, in the tradition of Rocky Horror and other interactive fan-favorites, there are goodie bags filled with tools for participating in the show. Before the screening starts, audience members can take part in a Buffy-oke contest and show off their own acting skills. Plus trivia, prizes, and more Buffy-inspired fun.”
