Director's Cuts of Hyperspace and The Fright Before Christmas restored in 4K by 3-D Film Archive!
Hyperspace: Lord Buckethead & The Attack of the Gremloids is an irreverent, low budget ‘80s sci-fi comedy written and directed fresh out of film school by Todd Durham, the creator of the blockbuster Hotel Transylvania franchise. In his first starring role, Chris Elliott (Groundhog Day) plays Dr. William Hopper, a cocky UFO scientist on the trail of an evil Intergalactic Space Lord, who has unknowingly landed on the wrong planet, namely Earth in the rural South, where he bewilders the locals in his frustrated, hell-bent search for stolen radio transmissions and a space princess he had been pursuing. Will he and his alien minions meet their match when confronted by Hopper, some wily country folks, and the trigger-happy U.S. National Guard? Co-starring Paula Poundstone (Inside Out). Included, also in ultra-widescreen, is Durham’s horror holiday short The Fright Before Christmas. After Mom & Dad drop off the kids at their sweet Grandma’s house the week before Christmas, the children begin to get the feeling that somehow this holiday vacation may be a little different from previous yuletide visits. Hyperspace and The Fright Before Christmas are presented in both stereoscopic and anaglyphic 3-D formats, as well as standard 2-D.
