From Fango:

LA's Grindhouse Film Festival is kicking off 2006 the right way with sloppy eye art and Bruno Mattei zombies. This month's pairing, showing Tuesday, January 24 beginning at 7:30 p.m., will take place, as always, at the New Beverly Cinema (7165 Beverly Boulevard). The double bill kicks off with HEADLESS EYES, the 1971 orb-obsessed gorefest written and directed by Kent Bateman (yes, father of Justine and Jason, and television director of FAMILY TIES). EYES was produced by Ron Sullivan, who also goes by the moniker Henri Pachard, a name synonymous with a number of porn classics. Bruno Mattei's NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES (a.k.a. HELL OF THE LIVING DEAD, or VIRUS) follows at 9:30 p.m.

Admission price for the night is $7, and the show also includes a reel of exploitation trailers and prize giveaways. For more information you can call (323) 465-8764, or visit Grindhouse's website here or MySpace page here.
