SAN FRANCISCO -

Genre cinema — science fiction, fantasy, horror, exploitation — receives the spotlight, grind-house style, during “A Month of Sleazy Sundays,” a Dead Channels event.

"War of the Robots" plays in an April Fool's triple bill at the Victoria Theatre.

Promoters describe it as a “festival of fantastic film, a celebration of the art of film — with all the boring parts cut out” or “12 mind-bending explosions of raw unadulterated cinema excess.”

Presented over four consecutive Sundays in April, programs feature double and triple bills and giveaways. First up: “War of the Robots,” “Planet of the Vampires” and “Starcrash,” beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday — April Fool’s Day, appropriately enough — at the Victoria Theatre, 2961 16th St., San Francisco.

Tickets are $8 for one film, $15 for two and $20 for all three. Visit deadchannels.com or victoriatheatre.org.
