FRIDAY OCTOBER 26 & SATURDAY OCTOBER 27 DOUBLE CARPENTER
THE FOG 5:30, 7:30 NEW 4K RESTORATION!
An ominous, glowing fog rolls over a small coastal town one hundred years after a mysterious shipwreck. When vengeful ghosts go on a killing spree, residents look for answers even as they try to survive. Imaginatively filmed in widescreen on Northern California locations, John Carpenter’s spooky follow-up to his smash hit Halloween stars JC regulars Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins, and Jamie Lee Curtis, with veterans Hal Holbrook, Janet Leigh and John Houseman adding old-school cred. (1980, 89 min, 4K DCP ‘Scope)
HALLOWEEN 9:15 40TH ANNIVERSARY!
Twenty years after the young Michael Myers inexplicably killed his older sister, the madman escapes from confnement and returns to Haddonfeld, Illinois to once again unleash unspeakable evil on Halloween night. John Carpenter’s atmospheric low-budget thriller reinvented and cemented the template for American horror, and remains gripping, if not terrifying, to this day. Donald Pleasance lends gravitas as the doctor determined to stop Michael; then-newcomer Jamie Lee Curtis is absolutely credible as one of Michael’s new targets, the young and resourceful Laurie Strode. (1978, 91 min, DCP ‘Scope)
SUNDAY OCTOBER 28 TRIPLE FEATURE!
DRACULA 3:00, 7:30
The immortal Bela Lugosi stars as the Transylvanian vampire casting his evil spell on a perplexed group of Londoners. A strong sense of dread presides over the tale, thanks to director Tod Browning’s (Freaks) acute sense for eerie atmosphere. Co-starring Edward Van Sloan, Helen Chandler and Dwight Frye as the de?nitive Ren?eld. (1931, 75 min, DCP)
THE WOLF MAN 4:30, 9:00
After the death of his brother, Lawrence Talbot (Lon Chaney, Jr.) returns to his ancestral home in Wales where he is stricken by a curse that transforms him into a bloodthirsty werewolf in the light of the full moon. This absorbing and effective old school chiller was one of Universal’s greatest horror successes, and transformed Chaney into a horror icon overnight. Classic. (1941, 70 min, DCP)
THE MUMMY 6:00 only
Cinematographer Karl Freund (Metropolis, Dracula) directed this moody and atmospheric pre-code fever dream, inspired by the discovery of King Tut’s tomb. Boris Karloff is Imhotep, a mummy resurrected by Western archaeologists. Posing as a modern-day Egyptian, Imhotep seeks to possess a woman (Zita Johann) he is convinced is the reincarnation of his long-deceased empress. (1932, 73 min, DCP)
MONDAY OCTOBER 29 DOUBLE COLLETTE
HEREDITARY 7:00
When the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter Annie’s (Toni Collette) family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell. (2018, 127 min, DCP ‘Scope)
+ THE SIXTH SENSE 9:20
Haunted by his failure to help a former patient who shot him before killing himself a year earlier, Philadelphia child psychologist Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) sees a chance for redemption when he tries to help 8-year-old Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment), who likewise is haunted-literally, in his case. Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan's eerie supernatural thriller, with the notorious twist ending, also stars Toni Collette (who was Oscar-nominated), Olivia Williams, and Donnie Wahlberg. (1999, 107 min, 35mm ‘Scope)
TUESDAY OCTOBER 30 DOUBLE FEATURE
DONNIE DARKO 7:00
Writer/director Richard Kelly’s crazily ambitious sci-? mind-bender/Reagan-era satire depicts the adventures of the titular character as he seeks the meaning and signi?cance behind his troubling Doomsday-related visions. Barely seeing the light of a projector bulb in a very limited release post-9/11, the ?lm has since amassed a devoted cult following. Jake Gyllenhaal stars with Jena Malone, Mary McDonnell, Maggie Gyllenhaal and the great Patrick Swayze. (2001, 113 min - Original cut, 35mm ‘Scope)
+ THE HOLLYWOOD KNIGHTS 9:05
Following Dusty and Sweets McGee and Aloha, Bobby and Rose, Floyd Mutrux adds another chapter to his tales of Los Angeles with this nostalgic comedy set on Halloween night in Beverly Hills, circa 1965. Faced with the imminent closing of their drive-in restaurant hangout, a gang of hot rod-loving teens sets out on a wild spree of "protest pranks" and mayhem. Filled with choice songs and belly laughs, this romp features the screen debuts of Robert Wuhl, Michelle Pfeiffer, Joyce Hyser, and Tony Danza, with Fran Drescher and Leigh French joining in the commotion. (1980, 91 min, 35mm)
