SUMMARY:George A. Romero's moto-jousting epic KNIGHTRIDERS (1981)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A BRILLIANT FILM\, even though no one paid it much attention when it was released in 1981…Knightriders is about 50 percent scenes of kick-ass moto-jousting\, 40 percent philosophizing around the campfire\, and 10 percent lyrical shots of King William trying to exist in the same landscape as fast-food restaurants.” – Noel Murray\, The Dissolve \n\n\n\nThough best known for revolutionizing the zombie film with Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead\, George A. Romero’s masterpiece might just be a hard-to-describe\, impossible-to-sell tale of a traveling band of motorcycle-riding medieval reenactors who stage elaborate (and dangerous) moto-jousting shows at Ren Faires around rural Pennsylvania. A deeply personal epic of masculine fragility\, contemporary alienation and creative community-building\, the film features Ed Harris in his first starring role as the troupe’s mercurial leader King William\, a man outside time whose chivalrous ideals run up against the modern world’s hunger for cheap thrills and big money. In a meta touch\, Romero’s long-time collaborator Tom Savini (designer of special effects and makeup for many of Romero’s horror efforts) co-stars as the Black Knight\, whose willingness to sell out King William’s vision could cause the group’s fracture. KNIGHTRIDERS was\, unsurprisingly\, a flop upon its release\, but this massively underseen masterpiece deserves rediscovery as a pivotal film in Romero’s filmography\, a vital modern translation of Arthurian legend\, and one of the most incisive cinematic explorations of the fraternity that forms around creative pursuits.  \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s month-long series KNIGHTY KNIGHT\, featuring knights in shining armor and other medieval tales! \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:Fritz Lang's nightmarish noir SCARLET STREET (1945) -- $3
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“ONE OF THE 25 GREATEST NOIRS OF ALL TIME! Deeply perverse\, and immensely enjoyable for the ways writer Dudley Nichols and Fritz Lang run circles around the Production Code.” – Eddie Muller\, host of TCM’s Noir Alley \n\n\n\nA psychologically complex melodrama written in glistening black-and-white\, SCARLET STREET finds one of cinema’s great poets of doom at his fatalistic peak. Having struck gold with 1944’s The Woman in the Window\, Lang reassembled that film’s dynamite leads\, Edward G. Robinson\, Joan Bennett\, and Dan Duryea\, again the following year for SCARLET STREET. The quartet knocked another one out of the park\, producing a film noir so potent it was banned in Atlanta\, Milwaukee\, and the entire state of New York. Robinson stars as Chris Cross\, a lonely and unhappily married clerk who falls for a brassy prostitute (Bennett)\, not realizing that she’s in love with her pimp (Duryea) and that the pair are milking him for whatever cash he can earn or steal. The atmosphere is thick with all the guilt\, paranoia\, and cynicism you’d expect from the man who gave us M\, and it all leads toward one of the most nightmarish dénouements in noir history. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s NOIRVEMBER series\, $3 Sunday matinees of film noir classics that spotlight the broken dreams and bitter paranoia of this distinctly American genre.

SUMMARY:Weirdo Estonian Folk Horror NOVEMBER (2017) -- 𝔉𝔬𝔩𝔨 ℌ𝔬𝔯𝔯𝔬𝔯 𝔄𝔯𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔡 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔚𝔬𝔯𝔩𝔡
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Part Grimm fairy tale\, part Eastern European folklore\, and all fever dream…it’s as beautiful as it is profoundly weird as fuck.” – Rolling Stone \n\n\n\nSet in a pagan Estonian village where werewolves\, the plague\, and spirits roam\, Rainer Sarnet’s third feature film is a bold\, twisted fairy tale about unrequited love. In NOVEMBER\, the villagers’ main problem is how to survive the cold\, dark winter. And\, to that aim\, nothing is taboo. People steal from each other\, from their German manor lords\, from spirits\, the devil\, and from Christ. They are willing to give away their souls to thieving creatures made of wood and metal called kratts\, who help their masters\, whose soul they purchased\, steal even more. A young farmgirl Liina (Rea Lest) is hopelessly in love with Hans (Jörgen Liik)\, a nearby farmhand\, whose heart she loses to the daughter of the German manor lord. In order to regain his love\, Liina turns to any means necessary\, even if that means tapping into the black magic that is circling around the village. Estonian pagan legends and Christian mythologies come to a spell-binding intersection in NOVEMBER. \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 FIRST WIVES CLUB (1996) presented by Girlhood
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGirlhood is a semi-regular series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Sarah Baraba that spotlights stories of sisterhood on the silver screen. \n\n\n\n“Exhilaratingly woman-positive and funny!” – On The Issues \n\n\n\nStarring powerhouse comediennes Diane Keaton (RIP)\, Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler\, THE FIRST WIVES CLUB continues to deliver delights nearly 30 years on. Three college besties reunite after a tragedy and discover that they have more in common than their ambition to succeed in life (and their Lesley Gore fandom) — they also all have scumbag cheating husbands who need to learn a lesson. So these baddies wrangle their wits to bring down the patriarchy. Though at its heart a comedy\, FWC tackles heavy issues — identity\, aging\, self-esteem\, alcoholism\, changing friendship dynamics — as our heroines realize that maybe revenge is a dish best served through building each other up rather than tearing each other down. Is it the perfect feminist film? Certainly not. But as the film repeatedly points out — it’s the 90s!  \n\n\n\nThe film will be preceded by a “You Don’t Own Me” sing-along. Dressing in white pantsuits is strongly encouraged\, but not required.  \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:Heath Ledger in A KNIGHT'S TALE (2001)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Tremendous\, infectious fun\, with a rocking soundtrack” – Radio Times \n\n\n\nThis Black Friday at Arkadin…Heath will rock you. Starring Heath Ledger as a lowborn squire masquerading as a nobleman\, A KNIGHT’S TALE is a truly delightful\, profoundly unserious riff on Chaucerian legend that updated the Middle Ages for the Millennial generation with all the historical accuracy of a Medieval Times show. With gleefully anachronistic arena-rock needle drops\, brawny jousting stunts\, and a subversively feminist streak\, this pumped-up crowd-pleaser is part road trip\, part romance\, and all exuberant action-adventure. Featuring Heath at his dreamboat peak\, along with breakout performances by Shannyn Sossamon\, Mark Addy\, and Rufus Sewell\, A KNIGHT’S TALE is a refreshing blast of pure foot-stomping fun. \n\n\n\nAlso\, come out before the film for an ARENA ROCK PRE-SHOW starting at 6:30 pm! \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s month-long series KNIGHTY KNIGHT\, featuring knights in shining armor and other medieval tales! \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:Soviet Fantasy Adventure ILYA MUROMETS (1956\, a.k.a. The Sword and the Dragon)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Packing an astonishing amount into ninety minutes\, Ilya Muromets is much more than its fantasy label indicates. You get a huge-scale period war film\, a love story\, a musical and a creature feature with that three-headed dragon rearing up in the big climax.” – Nathaniel Thompson\, Mondo Digital \n\n\n\nAleksandr Ptushko\, esteemed master of the Soviet cinematic spectacle\, crafted his crown jewel with the awe-inspiring ILYA MUROMETS\, which must be seen to be believed. An epic tale of a Russian knight’s campaign against the dastardly Tugars\, who destroyed his village\, ILYA MUROMETS features swordplay\, wild special effects\, gargantuan battle sequences featuring hundreds of extras\, and a massive\, three-headed flying dragon. Released in a mangled edit by producer Roger Corman and re-titled The Sword and the Dragon\, the true glory of ILYA MUROMETS had long been unknown in the U.S.  But with Deaf Crocodile’s sparkling restoration\, the whole world can appreciate this unparalleled journey into Soviet fantasy filmmaking’s wild wonders. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Soviet Fantasy Pre-Show starting at 2:30 pm! \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s month-long series KNIGHTY KNIGHT\, featuring knights in shining armor and other medieval tales! \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:Dark fantasy masterpiece EXCALIBUR (1981)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A near-perfect blend of action\, romance\, fantasy and philosophy\, finely acted and beautifully filmed” – Variety \n\n\n\nIn the early 1980s\, visionary director John Boorman (Zardoz) delivered one of the greatest fantasy films of all time\, a hard-edged\, R-rated treatment of Arthurian legend that spawned the ’80s dark fantasy boom. Inspired by Sir Thomas Malory’s classic Le Morte d’Arthur\, EXCALIBUR depicts the classic tale of Arthur (Nigel Terry) removing the sword Excalibur from the stone\, teaming up with the wizard Merlin (Nicol Williamson)\, forming the Knights of the Round Table\, and questing for the Holy Grail with muscular action and an impeccable beauty. Featuring majestic costumes\, intense special effects\, and glistening cinematography that earned an Oscar nod\, EXCALIBUR is one of the purest attempts to translate sword-and-sorcery mythology to the big screen. The film features Liam Neeson\, Patrick Stewart\, and Gabriel Byrne in early screen roles\, as well as Helen Mirren as the spellbinding enchantress Morgan le Fay. Packed with action\, magic\, and surprisingly rich ideas\, it’s no wonder EXCALIBUR has earned a legion of fans\, including filmmaker Zack Snyder\, who named this “perfect meeting of movies and mythology” his favorite movie of all time. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s month-long series KNIGHTY KNIGHT\, featuring knights in shining armor and other medieval tales! \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:A man investigates his own murder in... D.O.A. (1950) -- $3
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A breakneck\, almost berserk spin on the classic detective yarn” – Eddie Muller\, host of TCM’s Noir Alley \n\n\n\nHow’s this for a premise?: A mysterious stranger pours a toxin into a man’s drink\, and now the man has only a week to find his murderer before the poison kills him. That’s the basis for this frenzied film noir classic starring Edmond O’Brien (whom you might recognize from The Hitch-Hiker\, also screening this month at Arkadin) as hapless accountant Frank Bigelow\, who is unwittingly embroiled in a complex web of intrigue as he races to save his own life. Bigelow embarks on a lurid odyssey of double-dealing\, betrayal and murder that begins with “one of cinema’s most innovative opening sequences” (BBC) and leads to a nightmarish climax. Preserved by the National Film Registry\, this brooding\, paranoid classic is powered by O’Brien’s fevered\, nearly unhinged\, performance as well as director Rudolph Maté’s shadowy direction. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s NOIRVEMBER series\, $3 Sunday matinees of film noir classics that spotlight the broken dreams and bitter paranoia of this distinctly American genre. \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 WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953) w/ Orson Welles radio broadcast pre-show @ 3 pm -- 𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕝𝕕𝕤
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The best of the postwar American science-fiction films; the Martian machines have a quality of real terror\, their sinister apparitions\, prowlings and pulverisings are spectacularly well done\, and the scenes of panic and destruction are staged with real flair!” – Monthly Film Bulletin \n\n\n\nThankfully\, neither Ice Cube nor Amazon Prime comes within a mile of this timeless classic of science-fiction terror! A mysterious\, meteorlike object has landed in a small California town. All clocks have stopped. A fleet of glowing green UFOs hovers menacingly over the entire globe. The Martian invasion of Earth has begun\, and it seems that nothing—neither military might nor the scientific know-how of nuclear physicist (and MST3k “mad” namesake) Dr. Clayton Forrester (Gene Barry)—can stop it. In the expert hands of genre specialists George Pal and Byron Haskin\, H. G. Wells’s end-of-civilization classic receives a chilling Cold War–era update\, complete with hallucinatory Technicolor and visionary\, Oscar-winning special effects. Emblazoned with iconographic images of 1950s science fiction\, The War of the Worlds is both an influential triumph of visual imagination and a still-disquieting document of the wonder and terror of the atomic age.  \n\n\n\nCome out early for a pre-show starting at 3 pm where we’ll listen to the broadcast that traumatized a nation\, Orson Welles’ legendary 1938 dramatic radio adaptation of H.G. Wells’ novel. \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:Jim Jarmusch's NIGHT ON EARTH (1991) w/ Tom Waits pre-show 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\nNIGHT ON EARTH contains five vignettes linked together by parallel narratives of bizarre taxi rides. The film tells the individual stories of taxi drivers and their unique passengers over the course of one night in five different cities: Los Angeles\, New York City\, Paris\, Rome and Helsinki. Written\, produced and directed by American independent filmmaker Jim Jarmusch\, his 1991 anthology film features a huge ensemble cast that includes Winona Ryder\, Gena Rowlands\, Giancarlo Esposito\, Rosie Perez\, Roberto Benigni and more\, as well as a soundtrack by eccentric composer Tom Waits. Each sonder-evoking story\, some of which are comedic like “Helmut & Yo-Yo” in New York and others heartbreakingly tragic such as the determined taxi driver’s tale in Helsinki\, paint the poetic\, life-affirming commonality of strangers’ brief interactions that could be happening simultaneously anytime\, anywhere on the planet.   \n\n\n\nA Tom Waits music video pre-show will begin 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:WTO/99 (2025) -- new release!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Some documentaries just feel like a sock in the jaw. Ian Bell’s fiery and explosive archival picture WTO/99 is that kind of film. Built on local news footage\, MiniDV videocassettes\, CCTV images\, and more\, Bell’s charged film… takes viewers back to 1999\, a moment when class united more than politics divided.” – Robert Daniels\, RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\nIn late 1999\, members of the emerging World Trade Organization convened in Seattle\, Washington\, for what was supposed to be a series of routine negotiations. Instead\, they were met with one of the largest U.S. protests of global powers in the 20th century. Protesters from across the aisle representing everything from labor rights to environmental protections filled the streets in droves\, with signs and video cameras in tow. Crafted from a stunning array of newscaster broadcasts and outtakes\, citizen journalist tapes\, home videos\, and press conferences\, WTO/99 is an entirely archival film chronicling this consequential four-day event. In a galvanizing\, layered\, and occasionally cheeky manner\, a direct line unfolds between the WTO protests and the issues of corporate control and environmental degradation we still reckon with 25 years later. \n\n\n\nWant to chart the degraded trajectory of the U.S. power elite even further? Then grab a ticket to the mind-melting mash-up film HELLO DANKNESS\, which takes surrealistic satirical aim at our present political calamity. Together\, these films form a double-header charting the precipitous decline of the AmeriKKKan ruling class. \n\n\n\nWTO/99 is playing twice at Arkadin\, once on Dec. 5 at 7 pm and again on Dec. 6 at 4:30 pm. Please make sure to select the correct showtime on checkout. \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:Mind-melting mashup HELLO DANKNESS (2022) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A fresh and unforgettable cinematic experience. Built from samples of movies\, public speeches\, famous songs\, and even memes… stitched together to create a vivid representation of American culture before and after the 2016 elections… You’ve never seen a film quite like this one before.” – Collider \n\n\n\nThe Australian-born\, Brooklyn-based siblings\, Soda Jerk\, repurpose and collage classic films. They describe their hilariously warped narrative feature\, HELLO DANKNESS\, as a “political fable that bears witness to the psychotropic spectacle of American politics from 2016 to 2021.” Sampling 500+ clips from movies\, television\, commercials\, memes\, and news footage\, the film situates our political fissures within a suburban neighborhood inhabited by characters from popular comedies and horror films. Players and trolls from the 2016 election (Hillary Clinton\, Bernie Sanders\, Donald Trump\, Vladimir Putin\, Mark Zuckerberg\, MAGA and QAnon followers) are ingeniously grafted into these scenes to eerily send up the absurdities of American politics today. It is “a gleeful satire of our strange political times.” (The Hollywood Reporter) \n\n\n\nWant to chart the degraded trajectory of the U.S. power elite even further? Then grab a ticket to gripping found-footage doc WTO/99\, which takes us back to the nascent origins of our deeply fractured political climate. Together\, these films form a double-header charting the precipitous decline of the AmeriKKKan ruling class. \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:World Wide Magazine presents A Granite City Tumbleweed Christmas
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe World Wide Magazine Christmas tradition continues at Arkadin!  \n\n\n\nJim Varagona of The Pete Parisi Archives will introduce a handful of World Wide Magazine Christmas clips and then segue into episode 169 of World Wide Magazine from 1995: Vanessa Vargo in A Granite City Tumbleweed Christmas. See and hear the musical talents of The Little Songbird\, Vanessa\, to celebrate this gala yuletide season. Spend the holiday in the quaint gem of Illinois\, Granite City\, with Jack Calve and Marty! \n\n\n\nWorld Wide Magazine was a public access television program that ran in St. Louis from 1986-2001. Its creator was Peter Parisi who had a previous life in St. Louis radio before the show. The show is a variety of man-on-the-street segments\, goofy skits\, and a collective of colorful characters that gathered around Pete as the years went by. It is weird\, funny\, edgy\, and offensive\, but undoubtedly unforgettable. Since Parisi passed in 2002\, it has gained an additional following from its growing archives on YouTube. \n\n\n\nWe hope to have several members of the cast in attendance for some Q & A.  \n\n\n\nYour $5 ticket goes to further digitize shows from the archive. \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:Animated Christmas Folk Horror KRABAT: THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE (1978) -- $5
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Eerie\, creepy…fantastic\, mystical\, and oddly beautiful. A lost treasure of early animation\, nearly unknown to the English speaking world.” – R-Massive \n\n\n\nDirected by Karel Zeman\, the wildly imaginative “Czech Méliès” behind classics like The Fabulous Baron Munchausen and Invention for Destruction\, KRABAT: THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE is a hauntingly beautiful tale of black magic perfect for the Christmas season. Animated with papercraft models\, KRABAT is like the darkest children’s storybook ever written come to life. Based on the novel by Otfried Preußler\, itself adapted from a Sorbian folktale\, Zeman’s film tells the story of a young boy initiated into the mysterious world of magic by an evil sorcerer who runs a kind of evil Hogwarts out of a creepy old mill. Filled with dark humor\, bestial transmogrification\, and a chilly winter atmosphere\, this little-known folk-horror masterpiece feels as if it emerged fully formed from the mysterious forests of Central Europe.   \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+.

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\nWhen Lotte Reiniger’s THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED premiered in Germany on September 23\, 1926\, it was hailed as the first full-length animated film. More than seventy-five years later\, this enchanting film still stands as one of the great classics of animation — beautiful\, mesmerizing and utterly seductive.

Thrilling\, sensuous and dazzling\, this cinematic treasure has been enthralling children and film enthusiasts for generations. \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:KATE BUSH CHRISTMAS SPECIAL (1979) -- Free!
DESCRIPTION:“Surreal and heartwarming in equal measure…a wonder to behold.” – Far Out \n\n\n\nRecorded after Kate Bush’s legendary 1979 tour\, this BBC special is composed of 12 songs gathered from her first three studio albums. Featuring an appearance from Peter Gabriel\, this truly bonkers spectacle captures Bush at the height of her powers. Though it’s only kind of Christmas-y\, it’s a can’t-miss treat for fans of art rock\, avant-garde choreography\, and weird-ass ’70s stuff. This special is also significant because it was\, in many ways\, Kate’s departing gift to fans — a bow atop a year that would mark the end of her concert career for the next three decades.  \n\n\n\nThis event is totally free! No ticket or reservation required. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of our December series\, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE\, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter. \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:EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (1990)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Burton’s modern fairytale has an almost palpably personal feel: it is told gently\, subtly and with infinite sympathy” – Daily Telegraph \n\n\n\nAn eccentric fairytale for the weirdo in all of us\, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS might be the most personal film Tim Burton ever made. Johnny Depp stars as the titular Frankenstein-like creation\, a human being assembled by a mad scientist (St. Louis’ hometown hero Vincent Price) who dies before he can finish his creation\, leaving the boy with scissors for hands. Edward is taken in by a kind suburban saleswoman (Dianne Wiest) who takes him in to her home where he falls in love with her teenage daughter (Winona Ryder). Despite Edward’s good heart and gentle soul\, his freakish appearance makes him an outcast among the often small-minded denizens of suburbia. Touching\, beautiful\, and sweepingly romantic with a sardonic satirical streak\, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS is also a wintry fairytale\, perfect for the Christmas season. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of our December series\, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE\, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter. \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:"Gory and grotesquely twisted" slasher BLACK CHRISTMAS (2006) -- Friday Night WTF!
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“Gory and grotesquely twisted… a gleefully icky holiday horror romp that pushes all the right buttons.” – Fangoria \n\n\n\nLargely dismissed when it arrived on Christmas Day 2006\, this gleefully gory sequel to Bob Clark’s timeless slasher classic is ripe for rediscovery. Brutal\, funny\, and outlandishly fucked up\, BLACK CHRISTMAS is truly unhinged\, featuring multiple eye gougings\, a bright-yellow-skinned killer\, and Christmas cookies made of human flesh. Starring Hallmark Channel mainstay Lacey Chabert\, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Michelle Trachtenberg (RIP)\, the film takes place on Christmas Eve at the house of Delta Alpha Kappa\, where a group of sorority sisters are terrorized by escaped mental patient Billy Lenz. Bathed in the glow of string lights and featuring multiple yuletide-related kills\, this deliciously mid-aughts slash-’em-up from X-Files scribe Glen Morgan is the perfect WTF-er to get you in the Christmas spirit. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of our December series\, IT’S KIND OF A CHRISTMAS MOVIE\, showcasing some off-beat Yuletide(ish) tales to warm your soul this winter. \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+.
