SUMMARY:THE MAN WHO LAUGHS (1928) 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\n“An expressionistic masterpiece of spooky\, fairy tale Poe-meets-Perrault imagery” – Commercial Appeal \n\n\n\nFamous for inspiring the Joker’s maniacally grinning visage\, Paul Leni’s THE MAN WHO LAUGHS is a horror classic in its own right — a dark gothic romance told in haunting German Expressionist style. Based on the novel by Victor Hugo\, THE MAN WHO LAUGHS stars the great Conrad Veidt as Gwynplaine\, the son of a nobleman executed for treason whose face is permanently disfigured into a smiling rictus by a band of marauding criminals. Gwynplaine becomes a famous carnival performer whose heart is torn by sweet-hearted Dea (Mary Philbin)\, a blind girl who loves him unreservedly\, and Duchess Josiana (Olga Baclanova)\, a powerful and sensual aristocrat who becomes infatuated with him. A tragic tale of love\, shame\, and social stigma told against the backdrop of James II’s brutal reign over England\, THE MAN WHO LAUGHS is timeless for its horror and its heart. \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:Bizarro body horror banger BABY BLOOD (1990) w/ "Bad Babies" pre-show @ 6:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Nasty\, violent\, and terrifying body horror… Baby Blood is liberating in its subversion.” – Hyperreal Film Club \n\n\n\nWe couldn’t say it any better than Hyperreal Film Club‘s Shayna Nowicki\, who\, in her incomparable appreciation of Alain Robak’s BABY BLOOD\, described the joy of relating the film’s insane plot to her (presumably horrified) pregnant sister: “It’s about a girl who gets inseminated with an amphibious prehistoric demon that crawls up inside her while she’s asleep and then forces her to kill men and drink their blood for its nourishment. This could seem like a bummer\, but luckily she gets really into murdering men and she and the fetus actually wind up vibing over the freedom that brings her and she’s just\, like\, feral and naked for most of the film. Oh\, it’s also one of the goriest movies I’ve ever seen.” If that doesn’t make you wanna get down with this deliciously deranged—yet disarmingly thoughtful—pregnancy-horror banger\, then you may be on the wrong cinema’s website. Also known as The Evil Within\, BABY BLOOD is exactly the sort of beautiful batshittery we relish in inflicting on our audiences\, so come join us for a splatterfest to remember! \n\n\n\nAnd if that weren’t enough\, we’re kicking off the night with a “Bad Babies” pre-show at 6:30 pm\, featuring shorts\, clips\, and trailers of the most evil infants (and embryos) in horror history. \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:SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH Happy Hour -- $1.50 popcorn + drink specials!
DESCRIPTION:November 11\, 2025		\n\n					\n				: 			\n			\n				7:00 pm			\n		\n									\n					 – 				\n			\n							\n					10:00 pm				\n			\n						 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n			 $5 \n				plus $1.50 popcorn & drink specials!\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring Arkadin happy hours\, we offer curated entertainment on the big screen in a looser\, loungier atmosphere than a normal film screening. We keep the lights up a bit. No ticket required; you can drop in or drop out any time you like. Totally FREE plus drink/snack specials at the bar! \n\n\n\nSabrina has taken many forms over the years — from her origins in the pages of Archie Comics to the recent spooky reboot\, with several animated series peppered in between — but the adaptation that will always live in our hearts is the oh-so-’90s ABC sitcom starring Melissa Joan Hart as the titular enchantress. A perky teen with magical powers\, Sabrina shares a house with her centuries old aunts (Beth Broderick and Caroline Rhea)\, as well as talking cat Salem (voiced by Nick Bakay)\, a wizard transformed into a feline as punishment for attempting to take over the world. Funky\, funny\, brightly colored\, and utterly divine\, sit back and enjoy this classic TGIF charmer with some $1.50 popcorn and a cheap drink or two! \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:THE CRAFT (1996) -- both shows sold out!
DESCRIPTION:BOTH SHOWTIMES ARE SOLD OUT. WAITLIST OPENS AT 6 PM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS – 7 PM INDOORS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS – 7:30 PM Outdoors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“These girls\, each in their own way\, is calling out for something women learn early and often is hard to attain: the power to control your own life. And for a brief\, glimmering moment\, The Craft depicts the wonder and joy that comes with such autonomy\, which isn’t only possible\, but worth the risk.” – Vulture \n\n\n\nSarah has always been different. So as the newcomer at St. Benedict’s Academy\, she immediately falls in with high school outsiders. But there’s something different about these new friends\, and it’s not just that they won’t settle for being a group of powerless misfits. They have discovered THE CRAFT…and they are going to use it. This spectacular horror thriller-cum-high school melodrama has achieved cult-classic status not only for its goth-girl fashion and quintessential ’90s cool-kid cast (including Neve Campbell\, Robin Tunney\, Fairuza Balk\, Rachel True\, and Skeet Ulrich) but because it so perfectly captures the transformative empowerment of female friendship and solidarity…with spells! \n\n\n\nWe are hosting two screenings\, one indoors at 7 pm and another outdoors on the backlot at 7:30 pm. Please use the proper button above when buying tickets. \n\n\n\nALL TICKET PROCEEDS FROM THIS EVENT BENEFIT MISSOURI ABORTION FUND. Missouri Abortion Fund is a non-profit committed to funding Missourians who need assistance paying for their abortions. The only requirement to receive funding is being a Missourian. MoAF allocates funds directly to clinic partners. They then distribute those funds to help cover Missourians’ abortions. \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:Enchanted rom-com I MARRIED A WITCH (1942) w/ "Bewitched" pre-show @ 1:30 pm -- $7
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An accomplished confection\, I Married a Witch is required Halloween viewing.” – TV Guide \n\n\n\nBefore there was Bewitched\, there was I MARRIED A WITCH. This blissfully hilarious romantic comedy features terrific chemistry between Veronica Lake (Sullivan’s Travels) and Fredric March (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde\, showing this month at Arkadin!) that is—dare we say it—pure magic! This delicious romp from French master René Clair gives its seasoned leads a chance to break away from stereotypically serious roles (intense leading man and film noir vamp\, respectively) and prove their comedic prowess. Lake stars as an ancient Salem witch once burned at the stake\, who returns to haunt descendants of the Puritans who let her smolder — namely aspiring politician March.  Lake concocts a love potion\, but things get complicated when said potion works on Lake instead and she falls for March. Hijinks and enchantment ensue! \n\n\n\nCome out early for a BEWITCHED pre-show at 1:30 pm\, featuring suburban enchantress Samantha (the timeless Elizabeth Montgomery) and her hapless hubby Darrin (the largely interchangeable Dicks York and Sargent). \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:HAMBURGER HEAVEN (2025) -- World Premiere w/ the filmmakers!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It’s where burgers go when they die.” \n\n\n\nHamburger Heaven is the new film from Missouri filmmaker and illustrator Alexander Isgriggs. This 23-minute short is a dark comedy road movie about the dissolution of a friendship over an ill-fated\, midnight burger run. Shot back in 2018\, the project has long been simmering… until now! \n\n\n\nAfter intercepting a mysterious tv ad\, two twenty-something friends\, Mac and Walter\, hit the road in search of the mythic Hamburger Heaven. Their trip begins innocuously enough after they secure another buddy\, Trevor\, as their ride. The journey quickly goes off the rails as they are distanced from civilization and each other\, and their codependent relationship is pushed to the extreme. \n\n\n\nPlus a brain-rotting\, cheese-melting pre-show of ’90s/’00s ads and a post-film Q&A with the filmmakers! \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\n“Once seen\, never forgotten\, Eyes Without a Face is a film to haunt your dreams. Disturbing\, disorienting\, quietly terrifying.” – Los Angeles Times \n\n\n\nAt his secluded château in the French countryside\, a brilliant\, obsessive doctor (Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter’s disfigured countenance—at a horrifying price. Eyes Without a Face\, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju\, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical\, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images here—of terror\, of gore\, of inexplicable beauty—that once seen are never forgotten. \n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \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:DEMONS (1985)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A gleefully over-the-top splatterfest … one of the 80s’ best genre films” – 48Hills \n\n\n\nWelcome to the most life-enriching Italian terror-party of 1985. Produced by Dario Argento (Suspiria) and directed by Lamberto Bava\, DEMONS follows a panorama of punks\, preppies\, and ne’er-do-wells as they get trapped in a movie theater and possessed by gut-shredding Satanic demonoids. Featuring songs by Mötley Crüe and Billy Idol—not to mention a classic spooky-groovy score by the legendary Goblin—plus gloopy effects\, a terrifically Halloween-y atmosphere\, and the iconic Geretta Geretta in a lead role\, this is the most fun you’ll ever have in a movie theater while watching a movie about beasties on the loose in a movie theater! \n\n\n\nTicket proceeds for this screening benefit Hester’s Hope Foundation. Established in 2021 after losing Eddie Hester — who was a huge fan of the film DEMONS — Hester’s Hope was founded to reduce the day to day stress for people with blood and marrow cancers\, their families\, and their caregivers.  \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:PHANTASM (1979)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Lurid\, illogical and utterly off-the-wall…a marvelous orgy of cheap thrills!” – Newsweek \n\n\n\nLike The Shining and Dawn of the Dead\, PHANTASM is an intoxicating nightmare we never want to end. Written\, produced\, directed\, shot\, and edited by Don Coscarelli when he was only 23-years-old\, the movie follows a group of small-town friends as they battle the “Tall Man”—a mysterious force of cosmic horror who wields flying silver murderballs. This Lovecraftian vortex deftly combines gothic horror\, surrealism\, and a killer prog rock score into a concoction that horror fans have never stopped worshipping. Highly unusual\, strangely unsettling\, and mysteriously satisfying\, PHANTASM is “one of the most beloved horror movies of its era\, precisely because it’s so different” (Los Angeles Times). \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:TROLL 2 (1990) -- the best worst movie ever!
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\nOH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD! IT’S TROLL 2! Widely proclaimed as the Best Worst Movie Ever Made — there’s even a documentary to that effect! — TROLL 2 is a disasterpiece of epic proportions. From the atrocious acting to the booger-like monsters (which\, confusingly\, are goblins\, not trolls) to the bizarrely stilted dialogue to the fact that it has absolutely no connection to the original Troll\, Claudio Fragasso’s gift to humanity transports us to the strange town of Nilbog where a vacationing family encounters a horde of monsters who transform humans into delicious food! Universally panned upon its release\, the film has earned a well-deserved cult among trash cinema aficionados. Whether you’ve seen it a million times or you’re Nilbog noob\, TROLL 2 is a spooky season must-see. \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:TWO BY SU: Rules of the Road (1993) + Gut Renovation (2012) w/ virtual Q&A with Su Friedrich
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the foremost contemporary filmmakers of the avant-garde\, Su Friedrich is a pioneer of Queer Cinema and a ferocious provocateur. Arkadin is proud to present two of her films as well as a virtual Q&A with this utterly essential artist. \n\n\n\nRULES OF THE ROAD (1993)Rules of the Road tells the story of a love affair and its demise through one of the objects shared by the couple: an old beige station wagon with fake wood paneling. A typical American family car for an atypical American family\, it provides the women at first with all the familiar comforts. But when their relationship ends\, the car becomes the property of one and the bane of the other’s existence. Even long after their separation\, this tangible reminder of their life together—and thousands of its imitators—continues to prowl the streets of the city\, haunting the woman who no longer holds the keys either to the car or the other woman’s heart. Through spoken text\, popular music\, and images from the streets of New York\, Rules of the Road takes a somewhat whimsical\, somewhat caustic look at how our dreams of freedom\, pleasure\, security\, and family are so often symbolized by the automobile. 31 min. \n\n\n\n“… the light\, almost whimsical tone of the film should not blind us to the part of it that is irreducibly personal. Station wagons are everywhere; everybody’s got a sad love story. But only one filmmaker\, to my knowledge\, has Su Friedrich’s eye…With Rules of the Road\, she creates a film like a perfect short story.”—Stuart Klawans\, The Nation \n\n\n\nGUT RENOVATION (2012)A documentary of small changes evolves into an historical record of New York. The resulting film is an essayistic requiem for a neighborhood and an entire way of life; it also provides a case study of the rapid gentrification of our cities. In 1989\, together with a group of female friends\, Friedrich rented and renovated an old loft in Williamsburg\, an unassuming working-class district of Brooklyn. In 2005 this former industrial zone was designated a residential area and the factories\, manufacturers and artists’ lofts were priced out by property speculators lured by tax breaks. Friedrich spent five years documenting the changes in the area between East River and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. She shows the demolition of industrial buildings and the construction of trendy new apartments for wealthy clients\, watching old tenants leave and new inhabitants arrive. As she keeps meticulous record of developments\, the extent and speed of the upheaval becomes clear. When her lease isn’t renewed\, her documentary images and trenchant commentary become the tools of her growing anger. 81 min. \n\n\n\n“…the most salient and personal film about Brooklyn’s ever-changing face since Hal Ashby’s The Landlord… Gut Renovation is bound to polarize audiences. It’s a polemical howl in the night\, a desperately angry and sidesplittingly funny look at one oh-so-mythologized neighborhood’s transformation…[It’s] a film essay that is of a piece with the work of heady French names like Godard and Varda.”—Brandon Harris\, Filmmaker Magazine“Friedrich uses all manner of wry digs and ironic whimsy to make her point…the ‘damn-the-torpedoes’ directness of her spoken and superimposed commentary gives the film its unique bite and personality.”—Ronnie Scheib\, Variety“…Ms. Friedrich is fighting mad. She is a provocateur.”—Stephen Holden\, The New York Times \n\n\n\nABOUT THE FILMMAKERSu Friedrich has directed twenty-seven films and videos since 1978\, which have been featured in thirty-one retrospectives at major museums and film festivals including at the Museum of Modern Art\, the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Rotterdam Film Festival\, the Buenos Aires Festival of Independent Cinema and the National Film Theater in London\, and have been widely screened and extensively written about. The films have also won numerous awards\, including Grand Prix at the Melbourne Film Festival\, Outstanding Documentary Award at Outfest and Best Narrative Film Award at the Athens International Film Festival. \n\n\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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:Ken Russell's THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM (1988) w/ Creepy Crawlies pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Shamelessly bonkers! A Halloween camp classic [that] expertly toes the line between the absurd and the ridiculous.” – Ty Burr \n\n\n\nUnfairly dismissed as an aging auteur’s bid at serious horror\, THE LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM is Ken Russell’s typically extravagant exercise in camp absurdism. Drenched in phallic imagery\, folkloric terror\, and a masculine battle of wills between\, of all people\, Hugh Grant and Peter Capaldi\, Russell’s sublimely silly tale of a gigantic white serpent monster who feeds on the flesh of virgins. Posh nobleman James D’Ampton (Grant) dismisses these tales until archaeology student Angus Flint (Capaldi) unearths a massive reptilian skull. Could lubricious local temptress Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) be involved? Can you say\, “duh”? \n\n\n\nCome out early for 30 minutes of slimy slithery terror with our Creepy Crawlies Pre-Show featuring the ickiest worms\, snakes\, slugs\, and bugs in cinematic history. 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:SATANIC PANIC! MIXTAPE: An original mash-up featuring the most insane selections from the golden age of Satanic Panic
DESCRIPTION:We’ve crafted a mixtape that delves deep into the weird\, nauseating\, fascinating world of the ’80s/’90s Satanic Panic wave. It’s 90 minutes of pure hysteria for your viewing pleasure! \n\n\n\nWalt Disney. Metallica. Kids hanging out in public parks. What do these all have in common? They are the work of SATAN. The devil takes many forms\, from the obvious (Michael Aquino\, with his devil’s-horns eyebrows and Dracula-black garb) to the subtle (He-Man? Really?). Learn the tell-tale signs of Beelzebub and his malicious minions with Arkadin’s very own mixtape\, featuring selections from: \n\n\n\nDevil Worship: Exposing Satan’s Underground — Geraldo Rivera’s batshit 1988 primetime special that posits a vast Satanic network operating in America. \n\n\n\nLaw Enforcement Guide to Satanic Cults — This unintentionally hilarious police training video is hosted by an impressively mulleted ex-Satanist who observes extremely dubious advice on the Devil’s minions for police officers \n\n\n\nDeception of a Generation — Thousands of Gen Xers whose parents refused to buy them that He-Man action figure have this absurd tape to blame. A delusional exegesis on the Satanic intentions behind everything from Dungeons & Dragons to Star Wars. \n\n\n\nDevil Worship: The Rise of Satanism — A shocking exposé of the Satanic infiltration of our youth with a particular focus on heavy metal. Watch out for that Megadeth album\, kid! \n\n\n\nAnd much much more! \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 INVISIBLE MAN (1933) -- the Universal Horror classic + surprise short!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“What a treat. So delightfully nasty and sardonic\, and with a really high body count to boot. Invisibility is the most fascinating power because it really does is divorce you from any moral accountability\, which of course leads to a psychosis that manifests itself in all sorts of ghoulish ways.” – Scott Tobias \n\n\n\nOf all the OG Universal monster-movie classics\, 1933’s THE INVISIBLE MAN is undoubtedly the most under-appreciated. From director James Whale\, the man behind Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein\, this haunting adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel elegantly mixes science fiction ideas and a thriller plot with touches of Whale’s signature sardonic camp humor. With its macabre atmosphere\, still-stunning practical effects\, and searing lead performance by Claude Rains (best known as Captain Renault from Casablanca)\, THE INVISIBLE MAN is the deliciously and maliciously gripping tale of scientist Jack Griffin (Rains)\, who discovers a means of rendering himself completely invisible only to find that it comes with a disastrous side effect: aggressive\, murderous rage. A real treat for fans of old-school thrills\, this one is guaranteed to shock\, terrify\, and delight in equal measure. \n\n\n\nPlus\, before the film\, we’ll be presenting a surprise spooky short! \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of ARKADIN’S MONSTER MASH MOVIE MARATHON.

SUMMARY:TERRORVISION (1986) -- ultra-'80s monster-movie mayhem
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Zany\, hilarious\, and bizarre…best described as The Thing if it were directed by John Waters” – Certified Forgotten \n\n\n\nBoasting one of the goopiest and goofiest monsters of the ’80s\, TERRORVISION is a wild throwback to the Golden Age of monster movies in the 1950s\, updated for the MTV Generation. A satirical horror-comedy about a satellite dish that unleashes a bizarre blobular monster who feasts on humans\, this Full Moon Feature has a reputation as a so-bad-it’s-good cult oddity\, but what if it’s actually just genuinely really good? A wildly entertaining\, 80-minute brain-melter full of silly gags\, campy performances by legends like Gerrit Graham and Mary Woronov\, and some absolutely eye-popping practical effects. By the end of the film\, you’ll truly fall in love with the garbage pile ogre known as Hungry Beast. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of ARKADIN’S MONSTER MASH MOVIE MARATHON. See all 5 films for just $22!

SUMMARY:THE MUMMY THEME PARK (2000) -- a late-night disasterpiece of epic proportions
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n★★★★★ – “I tell you this is one of the greatest Disaterpieces I have ever seen! I don’t really know what the hell happened during it and I’m not sure anyone really does\, but wow is it amazing!” – Tony the Terror\, Letterboxd \n\n\n\nAlvero Passeri remains one of the great undiscovered masters of so-bad-it’s-brilliant filmmaking. An Italian Ed Wood with a penchant for nonsensical yet creative plots\, surrealistic touches\, and absolutely bugfuck effects\, Passeri is perhaps “best” known for his killer-fish WTF-er Creatures from the Abyss\, but THE MUMMY THEME PARK might just be his masterwork. An unrepentantly bizarre would-be shocker about an amusement park built on top of a mass Egyptian tomb whose animatronic mummies start coming to life\, this film features goopy gore\, insane practical effects\, and some genuinely impressive miniatures\, as well as some of the most inane dialogue and off-the-wall theme park ideas you’ve ever heard. It’s Jurassic Park meets The Mummy (1999) with a Troll 2 execution\, and… It. Is. GLORIOUS.  \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of ARKADIN’S MONSTER MASH MOVIE MARATHON. See all 5 films for just $22! Plus\, we’ll have Monster Mash t-shirts for sale with an original design by local artist Liam Cassidy. \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:SOLD OUT: Guillermo del Toro's PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006) w/ Fantasy Horror pre-show -- 𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕𝕤
DESCRIPTION:THIS SCREENING IS SOLD OUT. WAITLIST OPENS 30 MINS BEFORE SHOWTIME. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the greatest of all fantasy films…there is so much impact and intensity\, and such a richness of visual imagination.” – Roger Ebert \n\n\n\nAn Academy Award–winning dark fable set five years after the end of the Spanish Civil War\, Pan’s Labyrinth encapsulates the rich visual style and genre-defying craft of Guillermo del Toro. Eleven-year-old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero\, in a mature and tender performance) comes face to face with the horrors of fascism when she and her pregnant mother are uprooted to the countryside\, where her new stepfather (Sergi López)\, a sadistic captain in General Francisco Franco’s army\, hunts down Republican guerrillas refusing to give up the fight. The violent reality in which Ofelia lives merges seamlessly with her fantastical interior world when she meets a faun in a decaying labyrinth and is set on a strange\, mythic journey that is at once terrifying and beautiful. In his revisiting of this bloody period in Spanish history\, del Toro creates a vivid depiction of the monstrosities of war infiltrating a child’s imagination and threatening the innocence of youth. \n\n\n\nPlus\, come out early for a sampling of mystical terror with a Fantasy Horror pre-show 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.
