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 TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974) w/ '70s grindhouse trailers pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“THE GREATEST HORROR MOVIE EVER MADE! Snapshot of Vietnam-era outrage? Indictment of all-devouring capitalism? Blood-spattered redneck Theater of Cruelty? Yes to all\, plus the screen’s most grueling portrait of mushrooming terror. Decades of sequels\, remakes\, and imitators can’t take away its scabrous power.” – Slant Magazine \n\n\n\nA bonus entry in our September 2026 “Fine Young Cannibals” series\, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is the mother of all flesh-eating horror. Violent\, confrontational\, and shockingly realistic\, director Tobe Hooper’s twisted masterpiece terrified audiences in a way never thought possible when it was unleashed on a politically and socially tumultuous America in 1974. Facing a storm of controversy\, censorship\, and outcry throughout its troubled release\, this masterpiece of horror has stood the test of time to become a cultural milestone and a must-see (see-again) classic for every horror hound. \n\n\n\nThe film will be preceded by an hour of the gnarliest\, nastiest\, and weirdest trailers of the ’70s grindhouse era starting at 6 pm. \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:CHRONOVISOR (2026) -- "Spine-tingling and uncanny"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Getting caught up in the film’s mounting obsession feels like falling headfirst into a Wikipedia rabbit hole\, tumbling into darkness and data until dawn breaks over your bloodshot eyes. It’s a rush and an addiction… Boldly inviting its audience to weave between the lanes of lucidity and enthrallment\, this film might entice some obsessives of its own.” – The AV Club \n\n\n\nAn entrancing conspiranoid thriller told in a literate\, arthouse style\, Chronovisor is one of the most unique films of 2026. While writing a monograph on historical theories of memory\, Respected academic Béatrice (played by real-life professor Anne Laure Sellier) becomes beguiled by the allegedly true story of the Chronovisor\, an occult device said to reproduce visuals from any point in history on a TV screen. Her obsession with the mysterious machine drags her from her Upper East Side apartment through the depths of New York City’s hidden libraries\, to the edge of a breakthrough. Filmed on luminous 16mm film\, Chronovisor captures better than perhaps any film ever made the pure compulsive enthrallment of falling down the rabbit hole of “the wildest conspiracy theory you’ve never heard” (The Film Stage). \n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Wildly compelling” \n\n\n\n\nAn occult thriller turns academic obsession Into something beguiling and wildly compelling… an addicting\, compulsively watchable rabbit hole. \n\n\n\n\n\nIndieWire \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Strikingly original” \n\n\n\n\nAuen and Walker employ a strikingly original array of aesthetic strategies… a mystery that becomes only more absorbing and thought-provoking the deeper the film goes down the archival rabbit hole. \n\n\n\n\n\nSlant Magazine \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Spine-tingling and uncanny” \n\n\n\n\nA spine-tingling and uncanny film that resonates with the vastly expanding powers of networked space and artificial intelligence today\, and fears of the erosion of privacy and human autonomy… deceptive and intoxicating. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Film Verdict \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\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Telepathic helper monkey horror MONKEY SHINES (1988)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“[T]his intelligent\, effective thriller is one of [George A. Romero’s] best films…a tense\, clever nail-biter” – Combustible Celluloid \n\n\n\nA seemingly absurd premise is molded into sharp\, unsettling\, and darkly funny psychological terror in George A. Romero’s Monkey Shines. Adapted from a novel by Michael Stewart\, this non-zombie tale of terror from the Night of the Living Dead maestro tells the tale of a paralyzed athlete whose helpful service monkey turns into a murderous psychopath carrying out her master’s darkest impulses. Jason Beghe plays the quadriplegic lead\, but it’s Ella\, the capuchin monkey\, who steals the show. Monkey Shines finds Romero at his most twisted—blending mad scientists\, Freudian psychodrama\, a deeply sympathetic if often implausible portrait of quadriplegia\, and an impossibly adorable serial killer into something truly unique in the annals of horror cinema. It’s exactly the kind of unhinged horror show that demands to be seen with a crowd. \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:John Wilson's THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE (2026)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An absurd triumph. Laugh-out-loud funny\, compelling and surprising” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nFollowing the finale of his TV series\, filmmaker John Wilson looks to the bedrock of his beloved New York City for inspiration and structure. Concrete\, the world’s most widely used building material\, appears as an ever-present life force\, and John sets out to make the definitive documentary on the matter. To tell this seemingly drab story\, he decides to use the industry-approved Hallmark formula to increase his movie’s appeal. But his foundation soon begins to crumble—literally and figuratively—as he struggles to balance artistic freedom with the realities of the modern film industry. \n\n\n\nThis film is playing twice: on October 3 at 9:15 pm and October 5 at 7 pm. Select your preferred showtime at checkout. \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:THIS IS BUZZ (2026) -- w/ director Mark Pellington in person + Pellington-directed music videos pre-show @ 3:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the best documentaries of 2025\, a movie about the late 1980s and early 1990s that’s also — without forcing the parallels — very much a movie about today.” – IndieWire \n\n\n\nHelmed by Mark Pellington (whose credits include the legendary music video for Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy” and criminally underrated early-aughts chiller The Mothman Prophecies)\, This Is Buzz is a bold\, music-driven documentary that tells (and\, just as importantly\, illustrates) the tale of the seismically influential—yet somehow forgotten—MTV slice-of-life docuseries BUZZ\, which ran for just 13 episodes in 1990. The show took an experimental approach to uncovering often undiscussed corners of global life. With fast-paced edits giving the show an avant-garde feel\, the series would tackle specific subjects with each entry. This dream-like\, almost subliminal\, feel pre-dated the media oversaturation we feel today as we are drawn to a constant conveyor belt of content on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. And on top of it all\, RuPaul was the show’s host!  \n\n\n\nCome out early for a pre-show of music videos directed by Mark Pellington beginning at 3:30 pm. An in-person Q&A with director Mark Pellington will follow the 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\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+.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Chills me to my bones… One of the creepiest movies ever made” – Chris Stuckmann \n\n\n\nMark Pellington’s The Mothman Prophecies bravely bucked the trend of early-aughts horror. A thoughtful\, slow-burn chiller released amidst a stream of brash\, garish post-Scream silliness\, Pellington’s film evokes the eerie\, less-is-more approach of Val Lewton. Based on the allegedly classic non-fiction book by parapsychologist John A. Keel\, who investigated sightings of the eponymous creature in and around Point Pleasant\, West Virginia\, The Mothman Prophecies stars Richard Gere as a grief‑stricken reporter who chases a trail of impossible sightings of a winged figure that induces hideous nightmares and fevered visions in those it visits. Pulsing with dread\, this bold\, beautiful\, supremely creepy gem remains one of the most underappreciated horror films of its era. \n\n\n\nAn in-person Q&A with Mark Pellington follows the film! \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:John Wilson's THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE (2026)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An absurd triumph. Laugh-out-loud funny\, compelling and surprising” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nFollowing the finale of his TV series\, filmmaker John Wilson looks to the bedrock of his beloved New York City for inspiration and structure. Concrete\, the world’s most widely used building material\, appears as an ever-present life force\, and John sets out to make the definitive documentary on the matter. To tell this seemingly drab story\, he decides to use the industry-approved Hallmark formula to increase his movie’s appeal. But his foundation soon begins to crumble—literally and figuratively—as he struggles to balance artistic freedom with the realities of the modern film industry. \n\n\n\nThis film is playing twice: on October 3 at 9:15 pm and October 5 at 7 pm. Select your preferred showtime at checkout. \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:Legendary "metaphysical splatter film" BEGOTTEN (1990) -- new 4K restoration w/ industrial music videos pre-show @ 6:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The experimental ‘metaphysical splatter film’ you absolutely have to see.” – Collider \n\n\n\nA hypnotic Rorschach test that scars the psyche as much as the eye\, E. Elias Merhige’s directorial debut—memorably described as a “metaphysical splatter film” by critic J. Hoberman—stripped a century’s worth of filmmaking technique back to its primordial form. Here we have a genuine nightmare captured on degraded celluloid\, in which disfigured creatures flail in agony amid a barren landscape. Setting a forbidding new standard in avant-garde\, Begotten drew a line in the sand that has yet to be crossed. Be forwarned: This film is disturbing in a way few films can match. Picture Eraserhead on a Skinamarink budget\, as fed through a broken photocopier and burned to a crisp. Then take that\, drag it through the mud\, bury it in sand\, and screen it at night on the side of a barn while fluorsecents flicker overhead. Preferably during a cult initation. It’s the soul-searing experience you never knew you needed. (Michael Morlaine) \n\n\n\nThe film will be preceded by a pre-show of industrial music videos\, including a few directed by BEGOTTEN helmer E. Elias Merhige! \n\n\n\n\nBegotten has no characters in the ordinary sense. Its final credits name three principal figures: \n\n\n\nGod Killing Himself.Mother Earth.Son of Earth — Flesh on Bone \n\n\n\nThe entire film is what those names do to each other and to the earth. \n\n\n\nGod Killing Himself tears open his body and dies. Mother Earth rises from what remains and takes his seed into herself. She gives birth to Son of Earth — Flesh on Bone. He is cast into a barren world\, seized by the Nomads\, tortured\, killed\, and briefly returned to life by his mother. The Nomads destroy her too. The Robed Figures gather what remains of mother and son\, grind their bodies down\, and return them to the soil. The ground flowers. \n\n\n\nBegotten was shot in black and white on 16mm reversal film\, then rephotographed frame by frame through neutral-density filters. The process took four years and roughly ten hours of work for every finished minute. The image was worked by hand through repeated exposure and filtration until the grain itself began to move like an atmospheric condition\, thickening the dark and tearing open the light.  \n\n\n\nWhen the film first began circulating\, no one agreed on where it belonged. Drama.Horror. Foreign. In one San Francisco video store\, briefly\, pornography. Susan Sontag encountered the film through the festival circuit\, became one of its earliest and most important advocates\, and began showing it to people in her living room.  \n\n\n\nFor more than thirty-five years\, Begotten circulated in versions that carried its force but not its complete photographic body. Now\, for the first time\, the sketch has become the painting. Nothing has been cleaned up or modernized. The image has simply arrived at the form it was always meant to possess: blacks with weight\, whites with force\, and grain breathing as atmosphere. \n\n\n\nNobody has settled on what to call Begotten since it first appeared. \n\n\n\nThat was never the problem. \n\n\n\nIt is the reason to see it now. \n\n\n\n-E. Elias Merhige\, July 2026 \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:H.P. Lovecraft's FROM BEYOND (1986) w/ Lovecraftian Horror pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Deranged\, obscene and encapsulates everything that’s great about horror movies. Sublimely weird…and then downright unhinged.” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nFollowing up on the success of his 1985 film Re-Animator\, director Stuart Gordon’s From Beyond presents another harrowing interpretation of acclaimed science fiction and horror writer H.P. Lovecraft’s uniquely unsettling tales of of terror. The story centers on a pair of scientists attempting to stimulate the pineal gland with a device called the Resonator\, but there’s an unforeseen side effect: the device allows the user to perceive creatures from another dimension. When the creatures drag head scientist Dr. Edward Pretorious into their dimension\, he returns as a grotesque shape-shifting monster that preys upon the others at the laboratory. Featuring incredible special effects designed by Mark Shostrom (Evil Dead II)\, including giant worms\, carnivorous flies\, and tons of oopy-gloopy body horror\, From Beyond has solidified its legacy as one of the most iconic independent horror films of the 80s. This gruesome glimpse into the dark side of science is one half of a Lovecraft double feature\, so if you need even more cosmic horror in your life\, grab a ticket to Color Out of Space! \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, our Lovecraftian Horror pre-show begins at 6 pm. \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:H.P. Lovecraft's COLOR OUT OF SPACE (2019) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\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“Gorgeous\, vibrant\, and terrifying! Goddamn is it a wild ride.” – Dread Central \n\n\n\nA magenta‑soaked descent into cosmic madness\, this mind-bending adaptation of H.P.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Delightfully camp!” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nBefore Sarah Michelle Gellar took up the wooden stake in the iconic WB series\, Kristy Swanson donned a cheerleader’s uniform and kicked some bloodsucker butt in the cult-classic comedy that started it all! Swanson stars as blonde\, bouncy Buffy Summers\, a typical high school girl whose goal in life is to “marry Christian Slater and die.” But all that changes when a strange man (Donald Sutherland) informs her she’s been chosen by fate to kill vampires. With the help of a romantic rebel (Luke Perry)\, Buffy is soon spending school nights protecting L.A. from Lothos\, the Vampire King (Rutger Hauer)\, his sidekick Lefty (Paul Ruebens) and their determined gang of the undead. Though writer Joss Whedon felt the film trivialized his vision\, the OG Buffy the Vampire Slayer remains a bright\, breezy\, oh-so-fun romp into the Hellmouth. So how loose is your goose? My goose is totally loose… \n\n\n\nBuffy is playing twice\, once at 4:30 pm and again at 7 pm. Select your showtime at checkout. \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.

SUMMARY:BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (1992) -- fundraiser for Missouri Abortion Fund!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Delightfully camp!” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nBefore Sarah Michelle Gellar took up the wooden stake in the iconic WB series\, Kristy Swanson donned a cheerleader’s uniform and kicked some bloodsucker butt in the cult-classic comedy that started it all! Swanson stars as blonde\, bouncy Buffy Summers\, a typical high school girl whose goal in life is to “marry Christian Slater and die.” But all that changes when a strange man (Donald Sutherland) informs her she’s been chosen by fate to kill vampires. With the help of a romantic rebel (Luke Perry)\, Buffy is soon spending school nights protecting L.A. from Lothos\, the Vampire King (Rutger Hauer)\, his sidekick Lefty (Paul Ruebens) and their determined gang of the undead. Though writer Joss Whedon felt the film trivialized his vision\, the OG Buffy the Vampire Slayer remains a bright\, breezy\, oh-so-fun romp into the Hellmouth. So how loose is your goose? My goose is totally loose… \n\n\n\nBuffy is playing twice\, once at 4:30 pm and again at 7 pm. Select your showtime at checkout. \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: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:CANDYMAN (1992) -- outdoor backlot screening!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A chilly\, bloody\, romantic\, and intelligent slice of horror that stands as a modern classic of the genre.” – Mr. Movie \n\n\n\nSay his name five times\, and he appears. A slave spirit with a hook for a hand\, a hulking frame\, and a swarm of bees surrounding him\, Candyman (the inimitable Tony Todd) haunts the notoriously neglected Cabrini-Green housing project in the south side of Chicago in this gut-wrenching horror classic. The film follows white grad student Helen (Virginia Madsen) researching urban folklore who believes the stories of the deadly Candyman might provide a new twist for her thesis. Helen arrogantly assumes Candyman can’t really exist until he appears\, igniting a string of terrifying\, grisly slayings. But the police don’t believe in monsters and don’t listen to the impoverished residents of Cabrini-Green. The most romantic and socially resonant film in a genre that more often favors scantily clad teens getting hacked up\, Candyman is the rare slasher that demands to be taken seriously. It’s also seriously fucking scary. \n\n\n\nTHIS SCREENING TAKES PLACE OUTDOORS ON OUR BACKLOT PATIO. \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.

Carpenter himself composed the film’s atmospheric original score\, which is backed up by some rockin’ classics\, including George Thorogood’s “Bad to the Bone\,” which serves as Christine’s all-too-apt theme song.  \n\n\n\nPlus\, come out before the movie for shorts and TV episodes inspired by the master of horror with our Stephen King pre-show\, starting at 6 pm. \n\n\n\nNeed more killer automobiles in your life?

SUMMARY:Deranged Stephen King-directed killer semi truck disasterpiece MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE (1986) -- Fundraiser for the Heavy Anchor
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a night of VEHICULAR MAYHEM to raise funds for our next-door neighbors\, The Heavy Anchor\, which was recently smashed by an SUV\, and to raise consciousness about the dangers of Gravois.

This coke‑fueled carnival of killer cacophony throws you into a loud\, sweaty\, gloriously stupid apocalypse where trucks\, lawnmowers\, and vending machines revolt because of…umm…space radiation. Emilio Estevez leads a band of survivors trapped in a truck stop by a convoy of homicidal big rigs.

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.

SUMMARY:Classic psychic thriller DON'T LOOK NOW (1973) 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“Builds up an atmosphere of dread you can taste in your throat… A dark and frightening experience unlike anything ever filmed” – Newsweek \n\n\n\nAdapted from a shattering psychic thriller story by Daphne du Maurier\, Don’t Look Now stars Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie as a married couple who take a troublesome trip to Venice following a family tragedy. Against the city’s roving canals and exquisitely putrefied Renaissance architecture\, the duo endure inexplicable\, terrifying\, and increasingly dangerous experiences. A masterpiece of psychological horror from British auteur Nicolas Roeg\, Don’t Look Now is a disturbing tale of the supernatural\, as renowned for its innovative editing and haunting cinematography as for its naturalistic eroticism and its unforgettable climax and denouement—one of the great endings in horror history. \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:THE CRIMSON GHOST a.k.a. CYCLOTRODE 'X' (1966) w/ Misfits music videos 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 Crimson Ghost is a twelve-chapter film serial from 1946 produced by Republic Pictures. It follows a criminologist named Duncan Richards (Charles Quigley) as he tries to thwart the dastardly plans of a hooded villain wearing a skull mask known as The Crimson Ghost. The eponymous villain is trying to steal the Cyclotrode X\, a device that can disable all electronics\, which the miscreant hopes to obtain to wreak havoc throughout the world. Cyclotrode ‘X’ is a re-edit of the twelve chapters shortened and combined into a 100-minute television film released in 1966.  \n\n\n\nThe Crimson Ghost aka Cyclotrode ‘X’ is a campy blast\, featuring countless double crosses\, sucker punches\, mind control collars and multiple people jumping from exploding vehicles\, all in an effort to foil the cloaked evildoer from obtaining the atomic device. The film is best remembered now as the inspiration behind the mascot image for horror punk band The Misfits\, with the skull visage seen on dozens of Misfits’ albums\, singles and t-shirts\, cementing the villain’s place as a pop-culture icon. A Misfits Music Video Preshow 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.
