SUMMARY:THE BLACKENING (2022) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene\, hosted by Michael Morlaine. \n\n\n\n“An unapologetically Black comedy through and through\, it maintains its wit and bite to the very end\, boastfully serving audiences an hilarious film we didn’t know we needed.” – Peyton Robinson\, RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\nWhen confronted with a diabolical board game in the cabin they’ve rented to celebrate Juneteenth\, a crew of old college friends realize they’re stuck in a slasher flick. Armed with their skills\, their wits\, and their knowledge of the genre\, they duke it out ‘til dawn against a legion of stock horror villains determined to take them out one by one. \n\n\n\nA Cabin in the Woods for the Jordan Peele era\, The Blackening sets the record straight on decades of misrepresentation\, while outshining all of its contemporaries with its razor-sharp satirical wit. A loving nod to those who know all the Black horror tropes\, here’s a late-night survival flick in which every character is an audience surrogate\, pissed to find themselves trapped in such a corny premise\, and well aware of what it’ll take to make it through the night. A loving riposte to horror’s most glaring missteps\, The Blackening spins the sins of the genre into one of the most clever horror comedies ever made\, while serving as a celebration of Black joy\, unity\, Rap Snacks\, and not reneging in Spades. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.

SUMMARY:THE WOLF HOUSE (2018) w/ creepy stop-motion pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A mind-blowing haunted house… Directors Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León mingle classic European fairytales in a potpourri of magical notes laden in eeriness… In both concept and execution\, The Wolf House will render you awestruck.” – Carlos Aguilar\, TheWrap \n\n\n\nOne of the most singular and unsettling animated films ever made\, THE WOLF HOUSE is inspired by the real-life case of Colonia Dignidad\, a remote Chilean Nazi sect founded after WWII. Painstakingly animated by Joaquín Cociña and Cristóbal León\, this contemporary cult animation classic is a twisted fairy tale\, combining stop-motion and traditional animation in a dark kaleidoscopic fantasia\, photographed to appear as one continuous shot. Maria\, a young woman\, finds refuge in a house in the south of Chile after escaping from a sect of German religious fanatics. Two pigs\, the only occupants of the house\, welcome her inside. The ever-shifting universe of the house reacts to Maria’s feelings as the animals transform slowly into humans and the house becomes a nightmarish world unto itself. \n\n\n\nCome out for a creepy stop-motion pre-show\, beginning at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\nEach month\, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild\, wonderful world of animation. Focusing on the strange\, the underseen\, and the unclassifiable\, this series proves cartoons aren’t just for kids\, they’re for total freaks too! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is presented by Silents\, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart. \n\n\n\n“Framed by the hauntingly beautiful landscapes of the production\, it leaves an indelible mark on the soul of the viewer.” – Dbcult \n\n\n\nThe earliest surviving film by F. W. Murnau\, JOURNEY INTO THE NIGHT provides a stunning showcase for the German Expressionist maestro’s innovative style. The film gives a scintillating representation of Murnau’s highly expressive lighting techniques\, while the plot—an eminent physician comes under the spell of an unscrupulous dancer—finds echoes in Murnau’s later masterpiece Sunrise. Conrad Veidt appears in a supporting role as a sinister painter\, whose entrance eerily presages Nosferatu. “This is hypnotic\, immersive cinema.” (David Bordwell) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:INVADERS FROM MARS (1953) -- 4K Restoration!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Achieves a brilliant nightmarish quality by brooding atmosphere and imagery… one of the most unusual films of the fifties.” – The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Movies \n\n\n\nFROM OUT OF SPACE… CAME HORDES OF GREEN MONSTERS!!\n\n\n\nIn the early 1950s\, Cold War tensions and the burgeoning space race created a heady mix of paranoia and unbridled creativity as filmmakers speculated as to the marvels—and horrors—that lay beyond the stars. Among those leading the charge\, William Cameron Menzies’ INVADERS FROM MARS terrified audiences upon its release in 1953 with its chilling vision of an insidious alien attack on small-town Americana. As the aliens make a dad turn against his own son\, it’s the perfect film for Father’s Day! \n\n\n\nOn a dark and stormy night\, a young boy\, David McLean (Jimmy Hunt\, Pitfall)\, observes what appears to be a flying saucer crash-landing in his town. Shortly thereafter\, the grown-ups—including his own parents—begin acting decidedly strangely. Convinced there’s a link between this epidemic of bizarre behavior and what he witnessed that night\, David turns to local health official Dr. Blake (Helena Carter) for help. But can these two unlikely heroes\, together with astronomer Dr. Kelston (Arthur Franz)\, withstand the might of a full-blown invasion from outer space? \n\n\n\nA landmark in sci-fi cinema\, Invaders from Mars inspired filmmakers as wide-ranging as Don Coscarelli (Phantasm)\, Brad Bird (The Iron Giant) and John Carpenter (The Thing). Fully restored for its 70th anniversary\, this trend-setting Atom Age classic unleashes its spine-tingling terror! \n\n\n\nOTHER WORLDS brings you to strange new realms through science fiction and fantasy. Featuring classics\, hidden gems\, and cult favorites\, this series offers a mind-bending retreat from our mundane reality. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:IDIOCRACY (2006) w/ American Idiot 250th Semiquincentennial Pre-show presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A movie that was originally a comedy\, but became a documentary.” – Urban Dictionary \n\n\n\nU.S. Army librarian Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson) takes part in an experimental government hibernation program that goes afoul and results in Joe reawakening five hundred years later in a painfully stupid dystopia in the cult comedy Idiocracy (2006). The inept authorities are unable to identify Joe\, leading to a correctional facility renaming him “Not Sure” before subjecting him to an aptitude test. Despite being of average intelligence in his own time\, he returns the highest IQ in the world from this basic aptitude test in the year 2505. Soon the President of the United States\, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho (Terry Crews) tasks “Not Sure” with fixing the country’s food supply\, economy and massive dust storms within a week under threat of imprisonment.  \n\n\n\nDirected by Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead\, Office Space)\, Idiocracy was given a limited release by 20th Century Fox in 2006. The studio seemingly intentionally buried the film\, providing virtually no movie trailers\, ads or press kits\, and resulting in a less than $500\,000 box office in its limited theatrical run. However\, the film has since gone on to garner a devoted cult fanbase with its parody of dysgenics\, corporate sponsored politics and anti-intellectualism. Idiocracy also stars Maya Rudolph as Rita the sex worker and Dax Shepard as Frito the Lawyer.    \n\n\n\nAn American Idiot 250th Semiquincentennial Preshow starts at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Steven King's SILVER BULLET (1985) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Silver Bullet is a whole ton of fun\, and even though it’s not one of the scariest of werewolf movies\, it’s one of the more memorable ones.” – AV Nirvana \n\n\n\nYoung Marty Coslaw (Corey Haim) has an imagination and a love of life that far outpace his disabled legs. Buddying up with his Uncle Red (Gary Busey\, never better)\, he scores a ride called the Silver Bullet\, which is half wheelchair and half badass motorbike. And just in time\, too\, for his hometown of Tarker’s Mills has become the new stomping ground for a werewolf. Can Marty identify the monster in their midst\, and outrun the devil to get home in time? Based on Stephen King’s Cycle of the Werewolf\, Silver Bullet is one of the most charming entries in King’s storied catalog. Pitched perfectly between heartfelt horror and tongue-in-cheek camp\, it’s a full-moon thrill ride that serves up the scares without ever skimping out on the fun. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Trippy animated classic FANTASTIC PLANET (1973)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Surreal and psychedelic…a counterculture gem!” – Jacob Burns Film Center \n\n\n\nNothing else has ever looked or felt like director René Laloux’s animated marvel Fantastic Planet\, a politically minded and visually inventive work of science fiction. The film is set on a distant planet called Ygam\, where enslaved humans (Oms) are the playthings of giant blue native inhabitants (Draags). After Terr\, kept as a pet since infancy\, escapes from his gigantic child captor\, he is swept up by a band of radical fellow Oms who are resisting the Draags’ oppression and violence. With its eerie\, coolly surreal cutout animation by Roland Topor; brilliant psychedelic jazz score by Alain Goraguer; and wondrous creatures and landscapes\, this Cannes-awarded 1973 counterculture classic is a perennially compelling statement against conformity and violence. \n\n\n\nEach month\, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild\, wonderful world of animation. Focusing on the strange\, the underseen\, and the unclassifiable\, this series proves cartoons aren’t just for kids\, they’re for total freaks too! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Barbara Stanwyck in LADIES OF LEISURE (1930) -- $3!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Ladies of Leisure was Barbara Stanwyck’s first collaboration with Frank Capra\, and boy\, with every close-up he gives her through the lens of Joseph Walker’s camera\, you can practically feel Capra basically falling in love with her on the spot…Stanwyck exudes a wide-eyed sense of wonder that is well-nigh irresistible.” – Kenji Fujishima \n\n\n\nBarbara Stanwyck shot to fame thanks to this zippy! peppy! jazzy! gay! romantic dramedy. Stanwyck stars as a a self-described “party girl” bopping around New York City’s nightlife scene on the prowl for a sugar daddy who strikes up a relationship of convenience (and maybe more) with an aspiring painter (Lowell Sherman) from a wealthy family. Directed by Frank Capra\, Ladies of Leisure helped established the legendary director’s socially conscious style\, while also inaugurating a fruitful partnership with his leading lady. Thanks in no small part to a scene of Stanwyck taking a bath\, this early talkie scandalized some of the more prudish regions of the country\, where it was slapped with a “pink ticket\,” restricting attendance to adults only—but that likely only boosted its success! A critical and commercial hit\, Ladies of Leisure is a key early talkie\, notable for its frank treatment of class\, morality\, and female independence in Hollywood’s daring pre-Code era. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Guy Maddin's "hilariously bizarre" CAREFUL (1992) -- new 4K restoration presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \n\n\n\n“Hilariously bizarre… like some lost masterpiece from a time-warped alternative dimension.” – The Washington Post \n\n\n\nArkadin favorite Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents—adult\, child and animal—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression\, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid\, luminescent tints\, CAREFUL is Maddin’s twisted ode to a largely forgotten film subgenre\, the German “Bergfilme” of the 1920s and ’30s\, which pitted man (and woman) against mountain in epic survivalist adventures. Merging these bygone conventions with Maddin’s own delirious obsessions results in a truly singular work that resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.

SUMMARY:PSYCHOMANIA (1973) w/ Motorcycle Movie Madness pre-show\, presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is presented by St. Louis’s long-running cult film series Strange Brew — winner of the 2025 A-List Award for Best Movie Night in St. Louis. Strange Brew programmer Jon Scorfina will provide an introduction. \n\n\n\nThe dead return to life as sadistic bikers in the unhinged\, outlaw British flick Psychomania (1973). A violent biker gang known as The Living Dead dabbles in black magic at The Seven Witches\, a druid circle of seven standing stones in the countryside.  The gang’s leader Tom (Nicky Henson)\, with the help of his mother (Beryl Reid) and her nefarious butler Shadwell (George Sanders in his final role) who both worship a sinister Frog God\, discovers that by committing suicide you can return as an undead\, unkillable meance. Tom uses this knowledge to convince his gang\, including his reluctant girlfriend\, to follow him into death so they can all return as masked bikers with the sole purpose of terrorizing the locals. \n\n\n\nDirected by Hammer veteran Don Sharp\, Psychomania (released in the U.S. as The Death Wheelers) was initially dismissed as a low-budget psychedelic zombie biker frightener with low-ambitions of cultivating an audience. Soon however the film developed a devoted cult following for its legitimately crazy stunt work\, eerie atmosphere\, leather costumes and dark comedy.  It also features a notable soundtrack by British composer John Cameron. \n\n\n\nA Motorcycle Movie Madness Preshow will start at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Karel Zeman's eye-popping INVENTION FOR DESTRUCTION (1958) w/ Georges Méliès' "The Impossible Voyage"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The spectacular blend of animation\, artful sets\, mattes and live action… makes this whimsical and funny fairy-tale so enjoyable.” – Scifist \n\n\n\nBrilliant Czech animator Karel Zeman’s eye-popping spectacle is like a Victorian illustration come to life. Inspired by the romantic fantasy novels Jules Verne\, Invention for Destruction faithfully recreates the line engraving style of the pictures in the original editions of Verne’s work. Combining live actors with drawn animation\, cutouts\, matte paintings\, miniatures\, stop-motion\, and meticulously detailed horizontal line filters\, Zeman produced one of the most astoundingly original works in cinema. Original released in the US as The Fabulous World of Jules Verne\, Invention for Destruction not only went on to become the most successful Czech film in history\, it also basically invented steampunk. \n\n\n\nBut that’s not all! We’ve got some more Verne-inspired fantasia for you in the form of silent maestro Georges Méliès’ brilliant 1904 short The Impossible Voyage\, playing immediately before the feature. Based on Verne’s 1882 play Journey Through the Impossible\, this short is a fantastic showcase for Méliès’ wildly imaginative visual bravado. \n\n\n\nOTHER WORLDS brings you to strange new realms through science fiction and fantasy. Featuring classics\, hidden gems\, and cult favorites\, this series offers a mind-bending retreat from our mundane reality. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Homer's Odyssey as you've never seen it before... NOSTOS: THE RETURN (1989) presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \n\n\n\n“A poetry of lived quotidian experience that gradually becomes an epic… [Nostos] is simply beautiful. A masterpiece.” – L’Unità \n\n\n\nWhile Christopher Nolan has given us the bombastic big-budget version of The Odyssey\, Italian filmmaker Franco Piavoli’s Nostos: The Return sits at the opposite end of the cinematic spectrum\, a gorgeous\, lyrical meditation on humankind’s relationship to nature and its thirst for exploration that boils Homer’s epic down to a raw\, timeless essence. Filmed in the Mediterranean and told in an imaginary proto-language drawn from Ancient Greek\, Latin\, and Sanskrit\, Nostos transports the viewer back to the dawn of civilization\, reimagining Odysseus’s journey not as an action-adventure yarn but as a journey of the soul. Told with images of haunting power in a style Piavoli described as “symphonic” rather than the “theatrical” mode favored by conventional narrative cinema\, Nostos is\, in its transcendent beauty and cosmic scope\, just as epic as Nolan’s blockbuster version. Rarely screened in the U.S.\, this largely unknown masterpiece of world cinema is crying out for discovery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films. Information about content can also be found on Common Sense Media\, IMDB and DoesTheDogDie.com\, as well as through general internet searches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime. You must physically come to the lobby to get your name on the waitlist. Seats are released as they become available. All remaining seats are released at showtime.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+. We follow the MPAA rating guidelines for all other films.\n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased using the BUY TICKETS link above. Upon ordering\, you will receive a confirmation email from Square. Tickets may also be purchased on the day of the show at the concession counter.\n\n\n\nIf you’ve purchased advance tickets\, when you arrive\, please give your name at the concession counter to check in. \n\n\n\nTickets are returnable by sending a request through the contact form located on our About Us page prior to showtime.\n\n\n\nWhen an event is sold out\, we reserve the right to release open seats to customers on the waitlist. If you have a pre-purchased ticket and arrive late and there is no seat for you\, your ticket will be refunded.\n\n\n\nAll screenings are held in our indoor theater unless indicated otherwise in the event description above.\n\n\n\nPlease respect your fellow movie-goers by remaining quiet and refraining from using your cell phone throughout the screening.
