SUMMARY:GHOST WORLD (2001)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The greatest distinction of Ghost World is its singular spirit. Here’s a dark\, deadpan comedy about alienated kids that manages to be smart\, surpassingly odd\, extremely funny and mysteriously endearing at the same time.” – Wall Street Journal \n\n\n\nTerry Zwigoff’s first fiction film\, adapted from a cult-classic comic by Daniel Clowes\, is an idiosyncratic portrait of adolescent alienation that is at once bleakly funny and wholly endearing. Set during the malaise-filled months following high-school graduation\, Ghost World follows the proud misfit Enid (Thora Birch)\, who confronts an uncertain future amid the cultural wasteland of consumerist America. As her cynicism becomes too much to bear even for her best friend\, Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson)\, Enid finds herself drawn to an unlikely kindred spirit: a sad-sack record collector many years her senior (Steve Buscemi). With its parade of oddball characters\, quotable\, Oscar-nominated script\, and eclectic soundtrack of vintage obscurities\, Ghost World is one of the twenty-first century’s most fiercely beloved comedies. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series Video Store Heaven. Based around the St. Louis premiere of Alex Ross Perry’s Videoheaven\, which explores the lost world of video stores as depicted onscreen\, we are presenting some of the works featured in Perry’s sprawling essay film. \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:CANCELED DUE TO ILLNESS -- Last Action Hero (1993)
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED DUE TO STAFF ILLNESS. THE FILM WILL BE RESCHEDULED IN THE FUTURE. ARKADIN APOLOGIES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A riotous comedy and a rigorous case study of why we go to the movies. It’s an inventive valentine made timeless by audacious shamelessness and shameless audacity.” – Midwest Film Journal \n\n\n\nIn 1993\, audiences simply weren’t ready for this meta-fictional action-movie riff on Buster Keaton’s Sherlock Jr. The film was a flop\, flailing at the box office next to the juggernaut that was Jurassic Park and earning nominations from that arch defender of boring conventional wisdom\, the Razzies. But in the intervening decades Last Action Hero has rightly come to be recognized as one of the wittiest\, most inventive star vehicles of its era\, a winking send-up of blockbuster logic starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Jack Slater\, a fictional action hero who draws his biggest fan\, preteen Danny (Austin O’Brien)\, into the world of the movies. But when Jack Slater’s archnemesis (Charles Dance) escapes to the real world\, Jack and Danny do their best to stop in\, but Jack finds that rules of the real world are quite different than the movies. Directed by action maestro John McTiernan (Die Hard\, Predator) from a witty script by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang)\, Last Action Hero is a glorious mess\, brimming with clever ideas and deserving of a permanent place in the ’90s action pantheon. \n\n\n\nCome out before the film for a pre-show featuring the most gloriously over-the-top ’90s action movie trailers starting at 7 pm. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series Video Store Heaven. Based around the St. Louis premiere of Alex Ross Perry’s Videoheaven\, which explores the lost world of video stores as depicted onscreen\, we are presenting some of the works featured in Perry’s sprawling essay film. \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:Cheryl Dunye's THE WATERMELON WOMAN (1996)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A dazzlingly inventive landmark of the New Queer Cinema!” – BFI \n\n\n\nThe wry\, incisive debut feature by Cheryl Dunye gave cinema something bracingly new and groundbreaking: a vibrant representation of Black lesbian identity by a Black lesbian filmmaker. Dunye stars as Cheryl\, a video-store clerk and aspiring director whose interest in forgotten Black actresses leads her to investigate an obscure 1930s performer known as the Watermelon Woman\, whose story proves to have surprising resonances with Cheryl’s own life as she navigates a new relationship with a white girlfriend (Guinevere Turner). Balancing breezy romantic comedy with a serious inquiry into the history of Black and queer women in Hollywood\, The Watermelon Woman slyly rewrites long-standing constructions of race and sexuality on-screen\, introducing an important voice in American cinema. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s series Video Store Heaven. Based around the St. Louis premiere of Alex Ross Perry’s Videoheaven\, which explores the lost world of video stores as depicted onscreen\, we are presenting some of the works featured in Perry’s sprawling essay film. \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK (1972) presented by Strange Brew w/ Season of the Witch pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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 All The Colors Of The Dark (Tutti i colori del buio)(1972)\, a desperate woman living in London\, Jane (Edwige Fenech)\, seeks an unconventional cure for her haunting nightmares after she loses her baby in a car accident. When professional help proves ineffective\, a mysterious new neighbor named Mary (Marina Malfatti) suggests that Jane attends a black mass that she promises will help her overcome her trauma. Unfortunately\, Jane’s life soon spirals into a chaotic cacophony of black magic and blood orgies that result in her being stalked by a dangerous\, blue-eyed killer (Ivan Rassimov). \n\n\n\nAll The Colors Of The Dark stars the stunning Edwige Fenech\, one of the most popular actresses in the commedia sexy all’italiana and giallo genres\, alongside other giallo mainstays including George Hilton and Susan Scott. The film was released with many alternate titles including Day of the Maniac and They’re Coming to Get You!. All The Colors Of The Dark is a psychedelic fever dream\, leaving the audience wondering if Jane is actually being indoctrinated by witches or if it is all just the ravings of a madwoman\, making it one of the most underappreciated masterpieces of Italian cinema. \n\n\n\nStrange Brew will also present the return of the Season of the Witch pre-show starting at 6 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:SANATORIUM UNDER THE SIGN OF THE HOURGLASS (2024) -- a new film by legendary animators The Quay Brothers
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“To enter the impossible\, haunted night of a Quay Brothers film is to become complicit in one of the most perverse and obsessive acts of cinema.” – Film Comment \n\n\n\nChristopher Nolan presents this first feature in 20 years by animation masters The Quay Brothers\, a mind-altering mixture of live action and breathtakingly intricate stop-motion puppetry. Inspired by the stories of Polish author Bruno Schulz (whose tale Street of Crocodiles the Quays previously adapted)\, the film follows the journey of Josef\, who arrives at a labyrinthine sanatorium in search of his dying father. Told in seven chapters corresponding with seven prophetic\, mystical viewing lenses\, the film bends objects\, time\, and dimensions as Josef navigates the realm between dreams and reality. \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\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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:LINDA LINDA LINDA (2005) -- New 4K Restoration w/ Garage Rock Girls pre-show @ 1 pm + Blink-182 ticket giveaway!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Euphorically fun! One of the best Japanese films of the 21st century” – IndieWire \n\n\n\nLINDA LINDA LINDA is an effervescent\, tenderhearted snapshot of youth about the unparalleled joy of jamming out with your friends. For Kei\, Kyoko\, and Nozomi\, their dream of playing the final high school concert together is dashed when their lead vocalist quits the band. Desperate\, they recruit the very first person they see: Korean exchange student Son\, played by Doona Bae (The Host)\, whose comprehension of Japanese is limited at best. It’s a race against time as the group struggles to learn three songs in three days for the festival’s rock concert. The soundtrack fuses bangers from iconic Japanese bands The Blue Hearts and Base Ball Bear with original music composed by James Iha of the Smashing Pumpkins. The beloved classic from Nobuhiro Yamashita (Ghost Cat Anzu) is acknowledged by many as one of the greatest Japanese films of the 21st century. In celebration of its 20th anniversary\, the utterly charming and timeless classic returns with an all-new 4K restoration. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a pre-show of Garage Rock Girl Groups at 1 pm\, featuring Shonen Knife\, Otoboke Beaver\, and the band inspired by the movie\, THE LINDA LINDAS! \n\n\n\nAnd if all that weren’t enough\, we’ll also be giving away Blink-182/Alkaline Trio tickets courtesy of LiveNation! \n\n\n\nIndieWire: “One of the best Japanese films of the 21st century.”The New York Times: “One of this year’s most unexpected pleasures.”Time Out: “Funny\, droll\, sweetly directed and note-perfect.”The Boston Globe: “Every shot feels like a gift.” \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:CELIA (1989) -- a rarely screened masterpiece of childhood terror presented with a creepy Australian children's TV pre-show @ 4 pm -- Fᴏʟᴋ Hᴏʀʀᴏʀ Aʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ Wᴏʀʟᴅ
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Turner’s film is more effective that any dozen more conventional genre works. It gets under the skin like a tick\, like an infection\, like myxomatosis\, and lingers there\, dully throbbing\, driving us to pick at it and ponder.” – The Curb \n\n\n\nRarely screened in the United States since its minimal initial theatrical release\, Ann Turner’s CELIA is a dark coming-of-age masterpiece ripe for rediscovery. Too sprawling\, ambitious\, and sensitive to be simply called a horror movie yet too terrifying to be classified as anything else\, Turner’s award-winning film resists easy synopsis. Marketed as a straightforward shocker in the vein of The Bad Seed—the film’s US distributor subtitled it “CHILD OF TERROR”—the film is set in 1950s Australia\, where 9-year-old Celia hears the disturbing fairy tale of “The Hobyahs” in school\, causing her to interpret real-life conflicts such as her parents’ struggling relationship\, the threat of communism and the country’s plague of rabbits as emanations of evil. CELIA paints a disquieting picture of innocence trying to make sense of the harsh and complex world around her through escape into dark fantasy. \n\n\n\nPresented with a creepy Australian children’s TV pre-show at 4 pm! \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\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:THE DEVIL'S NEEDLE (1916) and other exploitation films of the 1910s presented by Silents\, Please! STL
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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\nThis month\, Silents\, Please! shows that exploitation is as old as cinema itself with a salacious sensationalism from the 1910s\, featuring drug addiction drama THE DEVIL’S NEEDLE (1916)\, sex trafficking thriller THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE (1910) and more! \n\n\n\nThe Devil’s NeedleRenee (silent era legend Norma Talmadge) is a French artist’s model who uses morphine as an escape from the dull reality of her life. She recommends it to a neurotic artist because “it kindles the fires of genius.” The artist quickly becomes addicted to the drug and the quality of his work begins to disintegrate. He takes on a new model\, marries her\, and starts her on the same path of moral degradation\, until a guilt-ridden Renee decides to intervene in order to save them both. According to silent film historian Kevin Brownlow\, THE DEVIL’S NEEDLE was banned by the state of Ohio\, but the censor board reversed its decision after recognizing the positive message beneath the film’s scandalous surface. \n\n\n\nThe White Slave TradeIn this licentious Danish film\, the first multi-reeler ever produced in Denmark\, Anna\, a beautiful girl from a poor background\, is offered a well-paid position as a lady’s companion in London\, while Anna’s boyfriend\, the skeptical Georg\, suspects that the job offer is too good to be true. Anna dismisses him and reports to the London address\, but this stately English home turns out to be a whorehouse that imports women from Denmark.  \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH (1990)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A devilishly\, hysterically\, cacklingly\, subversively funny picture that builds and builds until it literally self-destructs.” – Washington Post \n\n\n\nPerhaps the closest cinema has ever come to a live-action Looney Tune\, GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH is an all-out assault of gags\, goo\, and gremlins gremlins gremlins! Less a sequel to the 1984 original than a feverish parody of it\, Joe Dante’s madcap satire moves the action from small-town Kingston Falls to the Big Apple\, where the mischievous little monsters wreak havoc upon a New York City skyscraper. With gloriously gloopy Rick Baker effects\, a gag-a-minute ratio that would leave Mel Brooks’ head spinning\, and an onslaught of pop-culture references ranging from Rambo to Ray Harryhausen\, GREMLINS 2 is a chance to watch a brilliant filmmaker unleash his movie-addled id all over the screen. It’s not only one of cinema’s greatest sequels\, it’s also one of the most uproarious comedies ever made.  \n\n\n\nCome out early for a free Looney Tunes Happy Hour\, starting at 4:30 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:Agnès Varda's THE GLEANERS AND I (2000) presented with Operation Food Search
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis screening is presented in partnership with Operation Food Search (OFS). Ticket proceeds benefit OFS\, and Jacob Beck will introduce the film with a talk about OFS’s gleaning work. \n\n\n\nOne of the most acclaimed films of the 21st century\, Agnès Varda’s extraordinary late-career renaissance began with this wonderfully idiosyncratic\, self-reflexive documentary in which the ever-curious French cinema icon explores the little-known world of modern-day gleaners: those living on the margins who survive by foraging for that which society throws away. Embracing the intimacy and freedom of digital filmmaking\, Varda posits herself as a kind of gleaner of images and ideas\, one whose generous\, expansive vision makes room for ruminations on everything from aging to the birth of cinema to the beauty of heart-shaped potatoes. By turns playful\, philosophical\, and subtly political\, The Gleaners and I is a warmly human reflection on the contradictions of our consumerist world from an artist who\, like her subjects\, finds unexpected richness where few think to look. \n\n\n\nTickets are a minimum $10\, but we encourage you to pay more if you can afford it. All proceeds will be donated directly to Operation Food Search! \n\n\n\n“ONE OF THE 10 GREATEST DOCUMENTARIES OF ALL TIME! Agnès Varda’s handheld DV autoportrait of the artist as an older woman…brilliantly encompasses agriculture\, art history\, class politics\, ecology\, economics\, recycling raps and the origins of cinema.” – Sight & Sound“ONE OF THE 100 BEST FILMS OF THE 21ST CENTURY! a profound\, uncommonly tender and searchingly philosophical dream of what it could mean to live in the world — take only what you need\, share everything you have — that is itself a tour de force of cinematic gleaning.” – The New York Times“#67 – GREATEST FILMS OF ALL TIME POLL! Agnès Varda’s investigation into the cast-offs and castaways of society is both brilliantly funny and well-observed in its meta-textual reflection on the things we reclaim.” -Sight & Sound (Ariel Baska) \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED -- Jan Švankmajer's ALICE (1988) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED. THE FILM WILL BE RESCHEDULED AT A FUTURE DATE. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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“Svankmajer’s film explores Alice in Wonderland’s dark undercurrents: it unearths the fears that animate dreams and nightmares.” – The New York Times \n\n\n\nThe dark heart of Alice in Wonderland was never more faithfully captured than by stop-motion maestro Jan Švankmajer\, who rendered its well-worn imagery into a startling new vision. By animating an array of found items—including raw meat\, taxidermy\, playing cards\, scissors\, and the like—Švankmajer crafted a Wonderland all his own\, a haunting realm of fantastic sights and disturbing juxtapositions. Hailed as a landmark of modern animation\, Alice blends the imagination of Lewis Carroll with the grotesquerie of Joel-Peter Witkin to produce an experience like no other. A truly singular work of art\, it offers a glimpse into another world\, one of joyful terrors that cavort amidst death and decay. \n\n\n\nArrive early for a preshow of spooky stop-motion from around the world\, starting at 6pm! \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 FUNHOUSE (1981) presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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\nCome one\, come all\, boils and ghouls\, as Strange Brew kicks off spooky season at Arkadin Cinema with an exhilarating screening of Tobe Hooper’s The Funhouse. Four teenagers from a small-town in Iowa attend a travelling carnival. Once at the carnival\, the two teenage couples smoke marijuana\, heckle a fortune teller\, and sneak into a burlesque show. Eventually\, they dare each other to spend the night at the carnival’s funhouse attraction\, so they can have some after-hours hanky panky. Though the frisky teens soon discover they’re not alone in the funhouse\, but locked in with an ominous monster trying to hunt them down.    \n\n\n\nAfter the surprise success of Friday the 13th in 1980\, Universal Pictures wanted to fast track their own teenage horror film. They offered director Tobe Hooper the project\, which was his first major studio film after the runaway success of his low-budget horror masterpiece The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. In The Funhouse\, Hooper masterfully crafts an Americana take on the folktales of children that go missing at the traveling carnival\, and the boy who cried wolf. He also continues his theme of the disintegration of the American family he started in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre through The Monster’s deranged relationship with his father. As an added bonus for horror fanatics\, Hooper opens the film with a direct homage to the opening scene of 1978 slasher film Halloween\, as well as the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. \n\n\n\nStrange Brew will also present a Funhouse of Horrors pre-show when doors open at 6 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:THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE (2016) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\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 campy\, nasty\, tremendously fun horror experience in which death proves not the ending we might expect” – The Film Stage \n\n\n\nWorking late night at a morgue is bad enough; it’s even worse when you’re tasked with determining cause of death of an anonymous woman in the middle of a storm. You can try to stay professional\, but when sinister forces make themselves known\, it’s time to get out—unless you find yourself trapped. By stripping its narrative down to the bare essentials\, The Autopsy of Jane Doe focuses on what really matters: delivering a slam-bang thriller that’s heavy on the atmosphere\, mystery\, and overall creepiness. Featuring the always-dependable Brian Cox\, playing opposite Emile Hirsch\, Autopsy is relentless in its mission to scare the living hell out of you. This is one night watch you’ll be glad to leave. \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:CREEPSHOW (1982)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Pretty flawless; each story is wildly different but fun in its own right. Excellent cast choices\, great make-up & effects\, a tongue in cheek approach makes it stand tall above others within the genre.” – Carl Fisher \n\n\n\nMasters of the macabre—writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero—conjure up five shocking yarns\, each a virtuoso exercise in the ghouls-and-gags style of classic ’50s E.C. horror comics. A murdered man emerges from the grave for Father’s Day cake. A meteor’s ooze makes everything…grow. A professor selects his wife as a snack for a crated creature. A scheming husband plants two lovers up to their necks in terror. A malevolent millionaire with an insect phobia becomes the prey of a cockroach army. Add the spirited performances of an excellent cast (Hal Holbrook\, Adrienne Barbeau\, Leslie Nielsen\, Ted Danson\, E.G. Marshall and King himself) and the ghoulish makeup wizardry of Tom Savini\, and you have a non-stop\, thrilling ride that\, as Roger Ebert put it\, “plays like an anthology of human phobias!” \n\n\n\nBe sure to come out early for an equally creeperific ode to classic horror comics with our TALES FROM THE CRYPT Happy Hour\, 4:30 – 6:45 pm!

SUMMARY:THE DEADLY SPAWN (1983) -- Friday Night WTF -- $5!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Night WTF screenings are cheap\, weird\, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces\, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests\, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night. \n\n\n\n“Nonstop entertainment and ridiculously impressive…as regional sci-fi horror films with practical effects go\, this film is damn near Citizen Kane!” – MondoChaos \n\n\n\nWhat’s better than watching a movie with a vagina-shaped alien dismembering humans in a basement during a thunderstorm? Nothing! When a fallen meteorite unleashes carnivorous beastoids in New Jersey\, no one is safe. Grandmas\, horror-obsessed kiddies and anything with a heartbeat is fair game for this unstoppable eating machine and its leech-like minions. Crammed with ambition\, volcanic gore\, unbelievable creature FX and a wicked E.C. Comics-like tone\, THE DEADLY SPAWN builds a special self-contained universe with ties to rational thought. If D.I.Y. backyard horror perfection existed\, this movie would eat it for breakfast. \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:DRACULA: PAGES FROM A VIRGIN'S DIARY (2002) -- w/ spooky ballet pre-show @ 2:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Maddin has discovered a new kind of cinema\, the welding of silent-film technique\, avant-garde imagery\, and 21st century technology….Victorian sexuality and melodrama are brought together in a shadowy world of expressionistic images and an athletic\, almost rabid\, choreography.” – The New Yorker \n\n\n\nFrom the mad genius of Winnipeg\, Guy Maddin\, whose ravishing excursions into old-cinema style include The Saddest Music in the World\, Rumours and The Forbidden Room\, DRACULA: PAGES FROM A VIRGIN’S DIARY is an all-too-rarely-screened treasure of terror. Beautifully transposing the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s interpretation of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire yarn from stage to screen\, Maddin forges a sumptuous\, erotically charged feast of dance\, drama and shadow. This black-and-white\, blood-red-punctured DRACULA is a Gothic grand guignol of the notorious Count and his bodice-ripped victims\, fringed with the expressionistic strains of Gustav Mahler. The result is “the most startlingly original and creative reading of Dracula ever put to film” (Parallax View)! \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Spooky Ballet pre-show\, starting at 2:30 pm\, featuring Jerome Robbins’ The Cage! \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\n\n\n\nHead over to FLOWERS & WEEDS for a pop-up outdoor screening of the original FRIDAY THE 13TH in the pumpkin patch! \n\n\n\n“The best bits of Halloween\, Carrie\, and Hitchcock’s Psycho were cheekily repurposed here by the director Sean S Cunningham for a slasher movie — the first of a whopping 12 installments — that remains the genre standard-bearer.” – The Times (UK) \n\n\n\nThe terrifying first FRIDAY THE 13TH that launched the iconic horror movie franchise comes to Flowers & Weeds! The thrills start when the new owner\, and several young counselors\, gather to reopen Camp Crystal Lake. Years ago\, a young boy named Jason Voorhees drowned\, and a series of vicious murders occurred thereafter. Despite locals’ warnings that the place has a “death curse\,” the new crew continues to relaunch the camp. One by one\, they find out how unlucky Friday the 13th can be as they are stalked by a violent killer.  \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:LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH (1971) -- $7
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“THE PERFECT MOOD. Eeriness that bathes in a transient vampire lake of surreal dread\, deliberately paced\, and oozing with psychological macabre madness.” – Ian West \n\n\n\nInspired by Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw\, John D. Hancock’s LET’S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH is the ultimate early-70s slow-horror jam. This moody\, dreamlike tale of a woman recently released from a mental institution who finds herself haunted either by a woodland vampire or her own madness is drenched in floral-patterned dread. Featuring a twitchy\, deeply felt performance by Zohra Lampert and an eerily spare synthesizer score\, JESSICA upends so many clichés of horror filmmaking\, finding terror in small moments: an enigmatic smile\, a farmhouse obscured by mist\, the reflection of the sun on a lake. With its quietly feminist depiction of mental illness and its jaded embodiment of post-hippie malaise\, JESSICA is at once a time capsule of early-70s America and a timeless tale of terror. \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:SHe (2019) -- a stop-motion horror mind-bender w/ filmmaker Q&A
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the most self-assured\, stunningly composed and remarkably inventive debut features ever made…a blistering commentary on systemic sexism” – Rough Cut \n\n\n\nThis highly stylized and expertly crafted stop-motion horror mind-bender depicts a male-dominated authoritarian world where females are kept only for breeding purposes. The twist? Everyone\, male and female\, is a shoe. Women are depicted as high heels containing spindly vines\, while the males are black loafers with sharp teeth. In this forbidding realm\, a mother shoe survives and protects her baby by disguising herself as a male. Told without dialogue\, this labor of love from Chinese-born animator Shengwei Zhou  was six years in the making and serves as a tribute to the director’s mother\, who faced sexist abuse working in the male-dominated construction industry. Drawing comparisons to everything from the Quay Brothers to Suzann Pitt\, Zhou’s film is defiantly its own beast. \n\n\n\nPlease stick around after the film for a virtual Q&A with director Shengwei Zhou. We’re told this screening could even play a part in helping Shengwei achieve tenure! \n\n\n\n“[I]t’s hard to think of a stop-motion work more affecting\, disturbing\, and downright hallucinogenic as Zhou Shengwei‘s SHe” – The Spool“Even if it weren’t as superbly crafted as it is\, “SHe” would still command a certain fascination simply for being such an out-there conceptual oddity that managed to surmount myriad challenges to be fully realized. It’s rare for something this conceptually bizarre (not to mention commercially dubious) to also be so skillful.” – Variety“This inventive film is unlike anything that you have ever seen before.” – Bubbleblabber \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.
