Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

Halloween Night in West Hollywood now has a new address - the Regency Fairfax Theater at the Charity screening of Joss Whedon’s cyber hit Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. As early as 7:30 PM people, dressed in their Halloween best Goggles-and-labcoat, were lined up outside the theater on a balmy Halloween Night, ready for the big-screen debut not only of Dr. Horrible but also The Guild, another internet-only movie. Whedonopolis obtained a movie-sized open caption print along with karaoke-style lyrics in order for all who have not committed the libretto to memory to sing right along.

Before the first screening was underway, there was a surprise guest who showed up in a red wrestlers’ mask, which she remembered to whip off as Felicia Day took the mike to say hi to everyone, and it usher in the big screen debut of The Guild.

The drawing of prizes was briskly announced between the shows, and once dispensed with winners’ squeals and missed-it-by-one-number groans, the main event screening was underway. From my vantage point near the back of the theater, there was much sneaking about of mysterious shadowy people, who ducked in and out of the "celebrity" seats. Despite the glow sticks in the goodie bags, it was very dark in the theater, and any attempts at "nuclear" flash photography might have amounted to audience blinding, and so other photographic tricks had to be undertaken. There’s nothing like a theater full of people waving glow sticks and lit cell phones, swaying in time to "Everything You Ever", as Dr. Horrible finally enters the Evil League of Evil’s inner sanctum.
