Grab your footie pajamas because Sleepover Saturday is going full on Saturday morning special (only at night). Join Sleepover Trading Co. for a very special holiday event as they screen two of the strangest holiday TV specials ever broadcast, presented in collaboration with James Cave + The Jiffy! To make things extra special, both specials will be shown with vintage commercial breaks, just like you taped them off TV.
First, a 1988 Christmas visit to a certain playhouse, where a talking chair, a magic screen and a secret word share the spotlight with a guest list that runs from Cher and Grace Jones to Little Richard. Then, a 1995 Nickelodeon Chanukah celebration from a tiny puppet town run by a mayor whose head is real and whose body isn’t. Expect tinsel, latkes, and the kind of celebrity cameos that could only happen on 80s and 90s television.
Come early for a free VHS swap meet from 5:30 to 7:00pm. Then the specials will kick off at 7:00pm with horror hostess Glam Stroker.
