EVIL DEAD DOUBLE FEATURE
Saturday & Sunday, 10/22 & 10/23 at 7:00 PM
HAIL TO THE KING, BABY!
Cheer on Ash Williams as he mows down gross evil demon things in two of the most fun horror movies ever created: Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD 2 (1987) and ARMY OF DARKNESS (1992)!
NOTE: The first film in Raimi’s Ash Trilogy, THE EVIL DEAD (1981), is an essential classic, but it’s NOT required viewing for this double feature. EVIL DEAD II serves as something of a reboot, and these two exist in a more warped reality than the first…

Tickets purchased here are good for either Saturday OR Sunday.

Tue 10/25 2:00 PM
HORROR OF DRACULA (just DRACULA in the UK) ranks as one of the defining achievements of Hammer Studios, whose influence on genre filmmaking cannot be measured. Doctor Who, Tim Burton, Guillermo Del Toro, and more all owe a great debt to this brilliant studio from across the pond.
From Warner Brothers Pictures:
The first Hammer Dracula film which, according to Leonard Maltin, may indeed be their finest. The infamous vampire (Peter Cushing, Star Wars) is given a new, elegant and ruthless persona as he descends upon England. Christopher Lee is smooth as the Count, and Peter Cushing perfect as the tireless Professor Van Helsing, praises Maltin. This film is credited with single-handedly reviving the horror film genre.
Tickets available at the door.

From MGM Studios:
A peaceful hamlet in 18th-century Eastern Europe… A female vampire with lesbian tendencies ravages the townsfolk, who, years earlier, killed off her fellow vampires.
Tickets available at the door.
ROPE
Monday, 10/24 at 7:00 PM
“Cat and mouse, cat and mouse! But which is the cat and which is the mouse?”
ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Only Alfred Hitchcock could bring you a whonunit this suspenseful, despite showing you EXACTLY “who did it” in the opening scene!
7:00 PM Monday, October 24th
We will be screening a fully restored DCP digital print – you will never see this 1948 classic look or sound better.
Presented by the film department of Nichols School. A Q&A with faculty and students will follow the show.
Keep an eye-out for all 10 cuts – though ROPE appears to take place in real time, Hitchcock strung it together from 10 shots of about 5-10 minutes each.
Starring Jimmy Stewart.
From Universal Pictures:
James Stewart, Farley Granger and John Dall star in this macabre spellbinder, which was inspired by a real-life case of murder.
Two thrill-seeking friends (Granger and Dall) strangle a classmate and then hold a party for their victim’s family and friends, serving refreshments on a buffet table fashioned from a trunk containing the lifeless body.
When dinner conversation revolves around talk of the ‘perfect murder’, their former teacher (Stewart) becomes increasingly suspicious that his students have turned his intellectual theories into brutal reality.
Tickets available at the door.

From GKIDS:
From the legendary Hayao Miyazaki comes the beloved story of a resourceful young witch who uses her broom to create a delivery service, only to lose her gift of flight in a moment of self-doubt.
It is tradition for all young witches to leave their families on the night of a full moon and set out into the wide world to learn their craft. When that night comes for Kiki, she embarks on her life journey with her chatty black cat, Jiji, landing the next morning in a sea-side village, where a bakery owner hires her to make deliveries.
Rarely has the animator’s art been so brilliantly rendered as in this delightfully imaginative film – a beautiful and timeless story of a young girl finding her way in the world.
$5.00 tickets available at the door.
