The festivities took place at the historic Roxie cinema in San Francisco and featured Mil Mascaras vs. the Aztec Mummy as the main event. There was music, lucha fans dressed as their favorite luchadores, and of course Will and his wife, Monica the Tiki goddess.
The extravaganza began with a short film, Susan's Big Day, followed by the main feature, and concluded with the second half of the Mil Mascaras double-bill, Academy of Doom - all three of which were produced at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Although the event stretched into the early morning, nearly everyone stayed to the end to wish a fond farewell to Thrillville and to mark the end of the spectacular international festival run for the two Mil Mascaras films.
