Copia will help set the creepy mood for Halloween Friday with its annual Thrillville Revue featuring the 1958 British cult class, “The Crawling Eye.”

But that is only half of the show, promises Richard Miami, Copia’s entertainment guru, who confided to the Register that “ever since I was born, Halloween has been my favorite holiday of the year.” A fan of sci-fi and horror films, Miami noted that “The Crawling Eye,” is shown in 16 millimeter format. “We’re actually bringing in projectors.”

Before screening the story of the eyeball gone wild, which stars Forest Tucker, former star of the television series “F Troop, Miami has arranged a show that includes a performance by the valley’s own Mai Kai Gents, with Judd Finklestein on the ukelele and the Mysterious Miss Mona Loa — hence this year’s them, “Spookylau.”

Returning to Copia to host the evening is Will “the Thrill” Viharo, the lounge lizard whose weekly Thrillville shows at Oakland’s Parkway theater have drawn enthusiastic, if strange, crowds for the last 10 years. Accompanied by his wife, Monica (Tiki Goddess), he will present a trivia contest, complete with prizes.

And that’s not all.

Also making an appearance is Sacramento’s Mr. Lobo, host of “Cinema Insomnia.”  “Heaven knows what he is going to do,” Miami said. “He usually brings a creature. It’s always a surprise.”

Miami also warned that Thrillville-goers may receive a visit from “a really evil bug.”

The show, he added, “is  very family-oriented. … The evening is guaranteed to be more fun than a ‘poke in the eye,’” Miami said.

The Spookylau begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $6 general admission and $5 for Copia members.
