Dusty Nelson's horror meta-movie EFFECTS, filmed in Pittsburgh and starring local talent such as Joseph F. Pilato (DAY OF THE DEAD) and Tom Savini, had its world premiere in the Steel City at the Kings Court theater on November 8, 1979.
It was picked up by Stuart S. Shapiro, a distributor who specialized in offbeat music, horror and cult films (TUNNELVISION, RUST NEVER SLEEPS, THE PSYCHOTRONIC MAN, SHAME OF THE JUNGLE), and given a limited theatrical release in 1980 through his International Harmony company (Shapiro also ran the video company Harmony Vision and created the USA Network's popular weekend late-night series NIGHT FLIGHT). EFFECTS returned to Pittsburgh and the Kings Court on October 24, 1980.
