This Friday the New Beverly will be screening all three “Evil Dead” films. Starting at 7:30 P.M., the legendary Sam Raimi/Bruce Campbell indie horror will be followed by the semi-remake, much more splatstick “Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn” at 9:30, and then the full-on adventure/comedy “Army of Darkness” at 11:30. This triple bill will cost you a grand total of $10. In the coming weeks they will also be screening some Tarantino-inspiring war films followed by a John Hughes tribute, “An American Werewolf in London,” “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo,” and double bills of the works of Don Bluth, Samuel Fuller, Alfred Hitchcock, Robert Siodmak, Louis Malle, John Carpenter, and Woody Allen.

LACMA’s film program will be “going on hiatus” indefinitely in the next couple of months, so I highly suggest you attend one of their few remaining screenings to let them know you want revival programs to stick around.

The Hollywood Forever Cemetery will be screening “An American Werewolf in London” on August 29, “Being There” on September 5, and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” on September 6.

Also, be sure to catch the 70th anniversary screening of “The Wizard of Oz” in hi-def on September 23, at 7 P.M., in over 400 theaters nationwide.

Disney’s D23 Expo (September 10–13)

Next month, across the street from Disneyland Resort at the Anaheim Convention Center, Disney will be putting on their very first convention geared toward all things Disneyana. The full schedule is now online and it has a lot of interesting things going on. Screenings alone, the expo will be featuring the U.S. premiere of the “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2″ 3D double feature, a restored print of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas” in 3D, “the boys: the sherman brothers’ story,” “Walt and El Grupo,”  “The Shaggy Dog,” “Darby O’Gill and the Little People,” and many more.

They’ll also be previewing a bundle of their upcoming films during several panels all weekend, including looks at “The Princess and the Frog,” “Toy Story 3,” “Tron: Legacy,” “Beauty and the Beast” in 3D, “Rapunzel,” “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time,” Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” “A Christmas Carol,” “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” and more, along with a look at their upcoming TV holiday special, “Prep and Landing,” which I thought looked like a lot of fun at the San Diego Comic-Con earlier this year. There will also be plenty of Imagineering panels and theme park panels, including one looking at “The Making of World of Color,” California Adventure’s new “water-and-fire spectacular” slated to debut next year.

One-day tickets cost $37 for adults, $27 for children, and four-day tickets are $111 for adults, $81 for children. D23 members get discounted admission rates.

Long Beach Comic Con (October 2–4)

Meanwhile, good ol’ Long Beach is trying to get in on the comic book convention circuit and I say “the more the merrier!” The first annual Long Beach Comic Con, set to be held at the city’s convention center, already has almost 100 special guests set to arrive, including Stan Lee leading the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Marvel will be offering limited edition comics exclusively for show attendees who pre-order tickets and Lionsgate Films will be one of the many exhibitors on the show floor.

One-day passes go for $25, three-day for $45. Children 12 and under are admitted free of charge.
