What is Thrillville? A mainstay at the now defunct Bay Area Speakeasy theaters, Parkway and Cerrito, the series has been a favorite of Bay Area cult film fans for years, hosted by Will "the Thrill" Viharo and his wife, Monica Tiki Goddess. This statement from their website (www.thrillville.net) sums it up best -- "Thrillville is a City of B Movie Dreams in a State of Culture Shock, where Time stands still and aesthetics supercede politics; where monsters, babes, hipsters and swingers mingle and mate over Martinis and Mai Tais; where Style rules over Fashion, Elvis is King, the Rat Pack rules, and Will the Thrill, a beatnik lounge lizard, is Mayor. Mr. Thrill and his lovely assistant and bride, Monica, Tiki Goddess, host a live cult movie cabaret celebrating Classic Retro Pop Culture, from the Atomic Age to Zombies.
HEY THERE HEPCATS, SEX KITTENS, LOUNGE LIZARDS, TIKI WORSHIPPERS, B MOVIE BUFFS AND ALL AROUND THRILL SEEKERS: WELCOME TO THRILLVILLE!"
