SUMMARY:Frank Frazetta & Ralph Bakshi's FIRE AND ICE (1983) w/ Dark Fantasy Animation pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! This is easily one of the best films Ralph Bakshi directed and a perfect animated representation of the artwork of Frank Frazetta… full of grotesque and ruthless creatures\, dark violence\, sexy and buxom women and epic battles… A classic of fantasy cinema and a classic of animation.” – EuroCultAV \n\n\n\nFrom the director of the original animated THE LORD OF THE RINGS and the illustrator of CONAN THE BARBARIAN… It began as a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between two of the greatest icons of the fantasy genre: Controversial animator Ralph Bakshi (director of Fritz the Cat\, Wizards\, and the original The Lord of the Rings) and legendary illustrator Frank Frazetta (creator of the iconic Conan the Barbarian). It became—and remains—one of the most startling animation epics of all time. Experience a world unlike any ever seen\, where savage warriors\, horrific monsters and luscious maidens battle for the soul of a civilization in a time of good and evil\, pleasure and pain\, and Fire and Ice. Thanks to Blue Underground’s 4K restoration\, this dark fantasy classic has never looked better. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Dark Fantasy Animation pre-show beginning at 4:45 pm. \n\n\n\nEach month\, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild\, wonderful world of animation.

SUMMARY:BLACK TIGHT KILLERS (1966) 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\nIn director Yasuharu Hasebe’s hyper-stylized debut feature Black Tight Killers\, Daisuke Honda (Akira Kobayashi) is a young war photographer that haphazardly gets involved with a stewardess named Yoriko. Soon Yoriko gets kidnapped by a group of leather-clad\, go-go-dancing female assassins. When Daisuke attempts to rescue her\, he finds himself battling female ninjas armed with unexpected weapons like chewing gum bullets\, exploding bras\, and vinyl records used like deadly throwing stars. Daisuke’s rescue efforts quickly reveal a larger plot that involves a foreign group of treasure hunters looking for a lost World War II relic hidden on a secret island by Yuriko’s father.  \n\n\n\nBlack Tight Killers is a pop-art-infused ’60s spy thriller drenched in neon lights and vibrant sets. The film was almost completely overlooked outside of Japan during its original release in 1966\, but has been rediscovered and embraced as Japan’s unique response to the James Bond franchise. The film is now an unforgettable time capsule documenting post-war Japan’s full embrace of swinging ’60s youth culture with a stylistic sheen of the Japanese New Wave.   \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 GOOD SON (1993) 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 creepy\, unpleasant experience\, made all the worse because it stars children too young to understand the horrible things we see them doing.” – Roger Ebert \n\n\n\nFollowing the death of his mother\, 12-year-old Mark Evans (Elijah Wood) is sent to live with family in Maine\, and becomes fast friends with his cousin Henry (Macaulay Culkin). But as they pal around\, looking for mischief\, something alarming becomes clear: Henry is far from the perfect child he appears\, and may\, in fact\, be evil. And as the only one who can see the truth\, it’s up to Mark to warn the others before Henry comes gunning for him. \n\n\n\nIn a classic example of playing against type\, Macaulay Culkin subverted his status as the most famous child star in the world with this disturbing glimpse into the mind of a budding psychopath. Poised against the equally precocious Elijah Wood\, Culkin’s Henry Evans is a demon with the face of an angel\, a master manipulator hellbent on taking out anyone who stands in his way. Framed as the Bad Seed of the ‘90s\, The Good Son leveraged Culkin’s image as the golden boy of Hollywood to reveal the rot at the heart of the American dream. \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:Get the willies for Diwali with wild Bollywood horror musical extravaganza VEERANA (1988)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It never gets dull for a single second! There’s a constant non-stop manic energy which never wavers\, that puts this on the same footing as legendary cult favorites like Tobe Hooper or Tetsuo: The Iron Man… Extremely reckless and energetic.” – James Ford \n\n\n\nIf you only see one erotic supernatural Bollywood horror film in your life\, it should be the legendary Veerana. And what better time to experience this magnificently bizarre extravaganza than during Diwali!  \n\n\n\nThe story follows Jasmin\, a bloodsucking seductress who leads men to their doom after being possessed by the spirit of a witch. Unless Jasmin’s family can find a way to break the curse\, she’ll be used in a Satanic ritual to raise the real witch from her tomb. A kaleidoscopic dream zone full of Bava-esque lightning\, gloopy monsters\, and a killer synth score\, this is the most extravagant production from the infamous filmmaking dynasty known as the Ramsay Brothers (India’s most popular and successful horror filmmakers); a fever dream of gothic castles\, evil spirits\, and enough fog machine smoke to blot out the sun. \n\n\n\nInitially rejected by the Central Board of Film Certification for its mixture of sex and horror (and ostensibly because the film had a female monster) and critically dismissed upon its initial release\, Veerana has become one of the most beloved cult films in Indian genre cinema. The film helped define the Ramsay Brothers’ brand of low-budget horror and remains a staple of midnight screenings\, VHS nostalgia\, and internet-fueled rediscovery. Decades later\, audiences continue to celebrate its delirious blend of supernatural terror\, camp excess\, and glorious cinematic chaos. Recently restored\, Veerana is primed to delight you with Satanic fury. \n\n\n\n1988\, 135 minutes\, India\, In Hindi with English Subtitles\, Presented with an intermission. \n\n\n\nEach month\, Arkadin presents a selection of FOLK HORROR AROUND THE WORLD\, creepy folktales from all corner of the globe to give you the Sunday scaries. \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:WWI epic THE BIG PARADE (1925) 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“Every war movie since owes it an irredeemable debt… Vidor energizes The Big Parade by smashing together two atoms\, a nation’s pride and a mother’s sorrow\, the combination refracting the audience’s emotions into an unsettling tangle. It all concludes on a decisive note of despair and regret\, but audiences carry from the film a heart so full\, so torn by elation and the abyss\, that they won’t know if they’re coming or going.” – The Village Voice \n\n\n\nFor Armistice Day\, Silents\, Please! brings you the quintessential WWI epic. The highest-grossing silent film of all time\, as well as one cinema’s first truly realistic war dramas\, The Big Parade offers an unflinching look at the perils of combat. John Gilbert stars as an idle rich boy who joins the US Army’s Rainbow Division and is sent to France to fight in the Great War. Along the way he befriends two working class men\, Slim (Karl Dane) and Bull (Tom O’Brien)\, finds love with a French girl (Renée Adorée)\, and experiences the horrors of trench warfare. Praised for its realistic depiction of warfare\, King Vidor’s epic heavily influenced many subsequent war films\, particularly the 1930 Best Picture winner All Quiet on the Western Front. In 1992\, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. \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.
