Purple Rain screening @ Hollywood Forever Cemetery tonight

Apparently, there's a PR screening going on right now at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Singers Sam Sparro and Solange Knowles tweeted about being there just a few minutes ago.

@solangeknowles: A lot of folks want to see purple rain in a cemetary in Hollywood I am one of about Andre 3 thousand.

@solangeknowles: This is such an epic fucking night.

@sam_sparro: Dam-funk djing a minneapolis funk set before screening of Purple Rain at Hollywood Forever Cemetary. Life Is Good!!!

I'm so mad I didn't know about this, I would have gone lol Anyway, just thought I'd make a quick thread about it.

So, "Purple Rain" is playing @ the Hollywood Forever Cemetery tonight. I always said Prince's music is so funky, it could wake the dead.

If the scene from "Thriller" happens, do I run....or do I dance with them? wink

So, I am guessing by my last 5 responses, I am supposed to dance tonight if the dead get awakened. Hope it's not during "Darling Nikki"!!!

Does anyone know why this played at a cemetery? Is it customary there?

Yeah, it's like a summertime tradition at the cemetery. They're gonna show some other movies too, this is their calender http://www.cinespia.org/calendar/
