Double your pleasure honoring B-movies
B-movie theater is so rich this weekend you could call it a “Bucket of Blood.” Roger Corman did with a low-budget classic made into a stage show at 10 p.m. Friday at The SciFi Center, 5077 Arville St. Tickets are $10. But “Bucket” was Corman’s riff on his own “Little Shop of Horrors.” The better-known stage musical of that one plays at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and Monday, 2 p.m. Saturday and 5 p.m. Sunday at Alios, 1217 S. Main St. Tickets are $25.
Answers to Prayers at Bunkhouse Saloon
Just what is “cholo goth,” exactly? Well, for San Diego duo Prayers, who self-apply said designation, it’s dark electronic rock with hard-edged lyrics that offer a grim, firsthand perspective of life on the streets. Say your Prayers at 9 p.m. Thursday at The Bunkhouse Saloon, 124 S. 11th St. Tickets are $20; call 702-381-5981
