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. 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.

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:Animated kitty adventure FLOW (2024)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Dreamy\, epic\, perilous and very beautiful” – The Washington Post \n\n\n\nA wondrous journey\, through realms natural and mystical\, Flow follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara\, a lemur\, a bird\, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land\, they must rely on trust\, courage\, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. From the boundless imagination of Latvian animator Gints Zilbalodis\, Flow is a thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community. Told without dialogue and animated entirely with free graphics software\, Zilbalodis’s film is an ingenious feat of deeply personal\, purely visual storytelling—and the perfect animal-centric entry in our I’M ON A BOAT series! \n\n\n\nEach month\, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild\, wonderful world of animation.

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. 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: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.

SUMMARY:STREET FIGHTER II: THE ANIMATED MOVIE (1994) w/ Street Fighter Video Game Contest 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\nStreet Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) is a faithful anime adaptation of the very loose story from the hugely popular fighting arcade game Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers produced by Capcom. Chinese Interpol agent Chun-Li seeks the help of American Air Force Captain Guile to infiltrate the criminal organization Shadowlaw\, run by leader M. Bison and his brutal bodyguards Balrog\, Vega and Sagat. Meanwhile\, Japanese martial artist Ryu travels the world seeking a challenger worthy of competition\, since his American training partner Ken Masters has left to start a life with his girlfriend\, Eliza. Soon M. Bison discovers the masterful skills of Ryu and Ken from observing a series of street fights and aims to force the champions to join his criminal syndicate through hypnosis. \n\n\n\nStreet Fighter II: The Animated Movie originally had a limited theatrical release in August of 1994 and doubled as promotion for Street Fighter (1994)\, the live-action film also based on the video game starring Jean-Claude Van Damme that was released in December of that year. Unlike the Hollywood film that was almost immediately panned as one of the worst video game movies ever made\, the Japanese anime film has garnered a devoted following for its accuracy to the source material and its fast-paced animated battles with the colorful cast of fighters\, including Indian yoga master Dhalsim\, Russian wrestler Zangief\, Bruce Lee-knockoff Fei Long\, as well Dee Jay\, T. Hawk Cammy and the Brazilian monster Blanka. The localized English version of the film also features a hard rocking soundtrack of mid ’90s acts like KMFDM\, Alice in Chains\, Silverchair and Korn.       \n\n\n\nStreet Fighter II: The Animated Movie now acts as the perfect primer for the upcoming big-budget Hollywood remake Street Fighter (2026) set to hit theaters on October 16\, 2026.  \n\n\n\nA Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers Video Game Contest will start at 6:30 pm. \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. 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+.

SUMMARY:PAPERHOUSE (1988) 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“The story is sufficiently creepy\, never crossing the line into pure horror\, but always treading the darker areas of dream fantasy.” Craig Clarke\, A Green Man Review \n\n\n\nBernard Rose preceded the breakout success of Candyman with this surreal exploration of childhood trauma. Following an injury incurred while playing hooky from school\, young Anna finds herself bedridden\, with nothing to do but draw. So draw she does\, beginning with a landscape\, and then a house\, and then a boy—and soon she finds that her drawings are influencing her dreams\, and creating a world that exists on the other side of the veil. And while she delights in exploring her dream world\, it becomes clear that something wicked resides there as well. \n\n\n\nAn unsettling depiction of childhood fantasy\, Paperhouse occupies a singular niche within ‘80s horror\, and informed such later classics as Pan’s Labyrinth and Stranger Things. With imagery at once startling\, unique\, and deeply imaginative\, it serves as a rumination upon our capacity for strength and courage in the face of encroaching darkness. \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:LAUREL & HARDY: Four Classic Shorts!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“They were the funniest comedy team in the world.” – Lou Costello \n\n\n\nOne of the greatest comedy teams ever to grace the silver screen\, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy starred together in over 100 shorts and features. Laurel was the childlike\, bewildered innocent\, and Hardy\, the pompous\, self‑regarding ass\, perpetually irritated by his cohort. Together\, they are perfectly balanced comedic foils whose mutual dimwittedness always leads to hilariously escalating misunderstandings\, mishaps\, and impeccable comedic chaos. We pay tribute to the legendary duo with a program of four of their funniest shorts! \n\n\n\nBIG BUSINESSIn this classic silent short\, Laurel & Hardy are selling Christmas trees door‑to‑door and happen to pick the worst customer imaginable\, escalating a petty argument into a glorious\, house‑destroying war. \n\n\n\nBLOTTOHardy sneaks Laurel out for a night of boozy revelry\, unaware Laurel’s wife has swapped their liquor with cold tea mixed with hot sauce and myriad spices\, leading to a night of drunken bravado powered entirely by their own stupidity. \n\n\n\nBRATSIn one of the duo’s most surreal shorts\, Laurel and Hardy play both themselves and their own mischievous\, oversized children as a quiet night turns into slapstick chaos. \n\n\n\nHOG WILDHardy’s rooftop radio antenna becomes a death trap as Laurel “helps\,” turning a simple repair job into a jaw-dropping demolition derby around (and above) the neighborhood. \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:THE CROWD (1928) presented by Silents\, Please! STL
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“A masterpiece! Moving\, funny\, heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful.” -Alonso Duralde \n\n\n\nOne of the greatest of all silent films\, King Vidor’s masterpiece captures life in fast-paced 1920s New York City from the perspective of an “average Joe” whom the camera just happens to pick right out of the crowd. A work of thrilling proletarian melodrama\, featuring some of the most remarkable camerawork committed to celluloid\, The Crowd is a depiction of economic and domestic struggle right on the cusp of the Great Depression\, as well as a vital depiction of the exuberant stampede of the city itself—its joys\, its disappointments\, its dreams and realities. \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:Overlooked coming-of-age classic OLD ENOUGH (1984) presented by Girlhood
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGirlhood is a semi-regular series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Sarah Baraba that spotlights stories of sisterhood on the silver screen. \n\n\n\n“There is authenticity everywhere in this film\, from the way people speak to the cruelty that sometimes occurs between best friends.” – The Herald \n\n\n\nIn the 1980s there certainly was no dearth of preteen coming-of-age-cinema\, but few that portray the purity\, terror and excitement of that specific time of growing up with the authenticity of the tragically overlooked Old Enough. Every day on her way to the summer camp bus\, 11-year-old Lonnie Sloan (Sarah Boyd) passes a group of neighborhood kids engaged in some mischief that she\, with her upper-class upbringing\, can scarcely fathom. On a morning like any other she encounters the streetwise Karen (Rainbow Harvest)\, who talks sheltered Lonnie into playing hooky and takes her out of her brownstone bubble and into a blue collar world full of shoplifting and Catholicism. The girls couldn’t come from more different backgrounds\, but the exoticism of the other’s life makes their newfound friendship instantly magnetic. Following the girls through a sliver of their summer\, writer-director Marisa Silver captures that feeling of stepping outside of your nest for the first time.  \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:CANIBA (2017) 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“I had\, so to speak\, seen it all. And then I saw Caniba.” – John Semley\, The Globe & Mail \n\n\n\nA hugely controversial documentary from the pioneering filmmakers behind the also-incredible Leviathan\, Caniba just might be the scariest movie ever made. It’s certainly one of the most intimate and unrelenting explorations of human depravity ever captured onscreen. Filmed primarily in intense close-ups that practically burrow into its subject’s flesh\, Caniba is a portrait of the notorious criminal Issei Sagawa\, who\, as a 32-year-old student at the Sorbonne in Paris\, murdered his Dutch classmate\, Renée Hartevelt\, and began eating her body. Sagawa was convicted of his crimes in France\, but through some legal loopholes\, he soon was allowed to return back to his home country of Japan where he lived for decades as a free man\, making his living by writing novels\, drawing manga\, and appearing in innumerable documentaries and sexploitation films in which he reenacted his crime.  \n\n\n\nDirectors Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor explore the outer limits of human behavior through Sagawa’s mysterious relationship with his brother. In a twist reminiscent of Terry Zwigoff’s Crumb\, it turns out Sagawa may not be the most disturbed person in his own family. Disturbing\, darkly funny\, and completely unforgettable\, Caniba provides an uncomfortable intimacy with a man most would regard as a monster\, one who has transgressed the fundamental taboo. The film refuses to provide easy judgments or simple resolutions\, allowing us—or perhaps forcing us—to marinate in our own shared humanity. \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.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A surreal genre mash-up that opens like an Agatha Christie-style locked-room mystery before shifting gears during its last act to an otherworldly bit of sci-fi strangeness.“ – Slant Magazine \n\n\n\nA dazzling\, paranoid mixture of locked-room mystery\, 1970s Euro giallo\, classic noir whodunit\, and (unbelievably) alien sci-fi\, Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel is a mountainside mind bender with immaculate late-night Eastern Bloc vibes. Based on a novel by famed Soviet authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (whose novel Roadside Picnic provided the basis for Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker)\, the hall-of-mirrors plot follows police inspector Glebsky as he’s trapped by avalanche in the eponymous ski lodge with a rogues’ gallery of weird suspects:  tubercular gangster Hinckus\, creepy hotel owner Snewahr\, a wall-climbing physicist\, a louche beauty out of a Bryan Ferry song – oh – and the Dead Mountaineer’s faithful St. Bernard.  The interior of the hotel is straight out of a Dario Argento thriller: all chrome-and-marble with Space Age modern designs\, drenched in champagne and feather boas.  Featuring a stellar electronica / prog score by composer Sven Grünberg\, the film combines an eerie The Shining-like mountain locale with speculative sci-fi straight out of Chariots of the Gods.    \n\n\n\nNewly restored in 4K by Deaf Crocodile in collaboration with the Estonian Film Institute and Film Archive.  In Estonian with English subtitles. \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\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:LADY IN WHITE (1988) 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“A beautifully tender and haunting ghost story.” – Moria Reviews \n\n\n\nWillowpoint Falls is a quiet hamlet in upstate New York\, an idyllic landscape of Norman Rockwell homesteads and stunning scenic beauty. It’s also a small town with a secret: For ten years\, a killer has preyed upon its children\, casting darkness upon the sunlit haze of its rolling hills. And when Frankie Scarlatti gets locked in the cloakroom one Halloween night\, he finds himself mired in a mystery: the tragic tale of a murdered schoolgirl and the legendary Lady in White. \n\n\n\nA heartfelt passion project from writer\, director\, producer\, and composer Frank LaLoggia\, Lady in White transforms LaLoggia’s own childhood memories into a swooning epic of family\, friendship\, love\, and loss. Based on the legend of the titular lady—a spectral figure claimed to haunt LaLoggia’s hometown of Rochester\, NY—the film blends tragedy and horror with the folksy humor of vintage Americana. Featuring gorgeous visuals\, a rapturous score\, and a standout performance by a young Lukas Haas\, Lady in White is a singular entry in the horror canon\, and a one-of-a-kind Halloween classic. \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:The first "true" Hitchcock film THE LODGER (1927) presented by Silents\, Please! STL
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“One for Hitch fans\, one for thriller fans\, one for cinema fans. DO NOT MISS.” – Little White Lies \n\n\n\nAlfred Hitchcock’s silent masterpiece The Lodger is often considered the first true “Hitchcock” film\, from which his trademark cinema of suspense was birthed. According to Phillip French\, the film reveals “the fascination with technique and problem-solving\, the obsession with blondes\, the fear of authority\, and ambivalence towards homosexuality” that would become hallmarks of Hitchcock’s career. Based on the novel of the same name by Marie Belloc Lowndes\, the film opens with the murder of a young woman by a mysterious serial killer known as “The Avenger.” We are then introduced to the Daisy Bunting (June Tripp)\, a young model\, and her family who are struggling to make ends meet while keeping a lodging house. When a mysterious stranger (Ivor Novello) shows up on their doorstep\, a series of triangulations and cat/mouse dynamics are put into action. Could The Lodger and The Avenger be one and the same? \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:Chilling pre-Code horror comedy THE OLD DARK HOUSE (1932) -- $5
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A chilling romp! Expertly orchestrated scares with a humorous camp undertow” – Little White Lies \n\n\n\nWith The Old Dark House\, James Whale—the brilliant director of Frankenstein (playing on the Arkadin Backlot later this month)—turned J.B. Priestley’s novel Benighted into a nerve-jangling tale that became the template for all spooky-house chillers to come. In this delightfully creepy\, wickedly funny chiller\, stranded travelers stumble upon a strange old house\, and find themselves at the mercy of a highly eccentric and potentially dangerous family. Featuring an unforgettable post-Frankenstein horror role for the great Boris Karloff\, who plays the hulking\, disfigured butler Morgan\, The Old Dark House also features early-career turns by Melvyn Douglas\, Charles Laughton\, Raymond Massey and Titanic‘s Gloria Stuart. Thought lost for many decades until the film’s original negatives were rediscovered by director Curtis Harrington\, The Old Dark House remains perhaps the most overlooked entry in Universal’s classic horror run of the 1930s. \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.
