SUMMARY:Haunting\, eye-popping silent horror doc HÄXAN: WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGES (1922) -- Free!
DESCRIPTION:“One of the great milestones in cinema history…Häxan’s brand of satanic panic defines how the patriarchy saw women\, but also exposes how spurious fallacies were used to control females and keep them in their wrongful place.” – Film-Authority \n\n\n\nDemonic possession\, inquisitional torture\, ritual orgies\, fair maidens losing their virginity to the Devil — All these are featured in Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages\, a one-of-a-kind “documentary” just as shocking today as it was in 1922. Its genesis began in 1919\, when Benjamin Christensen\, a filmmaker often referred to as the “D.W. Griffith of Denmark”\, discovered the Malleus Maleficarum\, a 15th century manual on capturing witches\, in a bookstore. Convinced that witches still existed\, the director set out to expose their persecution from medieval times to the present day. Christensen procured funding from a Swedish production company with the guarantee that he would have complete creative freedom. The director then assembled the best craftspeople and technicians possible\, resulting in the most expensive Scandinavian film of its day. Unwilling to compromise\, Christensen included massive amounts of nudity and gore unseen in any other film of the silent era. Audacious scenes include naked witches cavorting around a bonfire and a baby\, supposedly drained of its blood\, being tossed into a stew pot\, all lorded over by Satan himself (played by Christensen.) Other sequences feature groundbreaking uses of optical effects and stop-motion animation. Häxan was banned for decades due to its graphic imagery and anti-religious themes. Regardless\, it remains a haunting\, proto-feminist masterpiece of horror\, curiosity\, and sheer cinematic invention. \n\n\n\nThis screening is part of AUTUMN ALCHEMY AT ARKADIN presented by Chaos Magick! On the backlot you’ll find vendors and practitioners selling witchy wares and providing tarot readings\, limpias\, sound healing and reiki. Learn how to make your own sigil\, build a container spell\, and work with candle magick. Bring your friends and make some new ones.

SUMMARY:Rob Zombie's bizarre and stunning witch-horror freakout THE LORDS OF SALEM (2012) -- 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“DREAD-INDUCING! This isn’t just one of the best witch movies of the 2000s; it’s one of the best horror films. Period.” – Bloody Disgusting \n\n\n\nFrom the twisted mind of horror maestro Rob Zombie\, The Lords of Salem is a chilling plunge into a nightmare world where evil runs in the blood. Drenched in creepy ’70s-style atmosphere\, the film tells the haunting tale of Heidi (Sheri Moon Zombie)\, a radio station DJ living in Salem\, Massachusetts\, who receives a strange wooden box containing a record—a “gift from the Lords.” Heidi listens\, and the bizarre sounds within the grooves immediately trigger flashbacks of the town’s violent past. Is Heidi going mad\, or are the “Lords of Salem” returning for revenge on modern-day Salem? Dismissed by most critics upon its initial release\, The Lords of Salem has rightfully earned a cult following for its stunning visuals\, dread-inducing tone\, and tripped-out climax of terror. \n\n\n\nThis screening is part of AUTUMN ALCHEMY AT ARKADIN presented by Chaos Magick!

SUMMARY:67 BOMBS TO ENID (2026) + in-person Q&A with co-director Kevin Ford
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Deeply moving…a benchmark for documentaries focusing on the people impacted by injustice and celebrating their heritage” – Dan Ingram\, News9 \n\n\n\nBetween 1946 and 1958\, the United States of America conducted 67 known nuclear weapons tests in the Marshall Islands\, on Bikini and Enewetak Atolls. Decades later\, thousands of Marshallese survivors and their descendants now live in the United States and one such community has settled on the plains of Enid\, Oklahoma. 67 BOMBS TO ENID is an intimate\, character-driven documentary that weaves first-hand accounts of the detonations with the testimony of the generation born after — tracing displacement\, generational trauma\, and a community’s insistence on joy and cultural pride in the unlikeliest of American towns. It speaks to the need for durable solutions to the harms caused by the nuclear legacy\, as well as the Marshallese peoples continued pursuit of nuclear justice. Executive Produced by Errol Morris. \n\n\n\nCo-director Kevin Ford will join us after the film for an in-person Q&A! \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:Disney's darkest film SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (1983) w/ Goosebumps pre-show @ 2:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the best and most underrated from Disney’s ‘dark’ early ‘80s period… a heartfelt film\, touched by autumn’s chill and aching sweetness of knowing that childhood is coming to an end.” – Jessica Ritchey\, RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\nNo book has ever plumbed the darker corners of childhood experience more beautifully than Ray Bradbury’s lyrical dark-fantasy masterpiece Something Wicked This Way Comes. Appropriate for children while resisting the anodyne sobriquet “kid-friendly\,” Bradbury’s tale of two boys whose friendship is tested when a traveling carnival unleashes a mysterious malevolent energy on their sleepy small town was the perfect material for Disney’s so-called “Dark Age\,” which saw the House of Mouse experimenting with gloomier subject matter. Starring Jonathan Pryce in a show-stopping turn as the carnival’s sinister owner\, Mr. Dark\, and directed by Jack Clayton\, the horror maestro behind the classic chiller The Innocents\, Something Wicked… is surely the scariest film ever released under the imprimatur of Walt Disney. And while it wasn’t a financial success —”Dark Age” also refers to Disney’s relative fortunes at the box office during this time—the film is a gorgeous and moving chiller\, bathed in a gold-and-brown autumnal glow that has made it a cult classic for Spooky Season. \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, we pay tribute to another master of kid-oriented terror\, R.L. Stine\, with a special Goosebumps pre-show starting at 2:30 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. 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:THE EXORCIST (1973) w/ Talk by Troy Taylor\, author of 'The Devil Came to St. Louis' about the local real-life story that inspired the film
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a very special night exploring the notorious 1949 St. Louis exorcism that inspired William Peter Blatty’s novel The Exorcist and the blockbuster film adaptation that shocked and terrified a nation. Troy Taylor\, author of The Devil Came to St. Louis\, a history of the local case\, will introduce the film with a talk on the real-life local story. Then we’ll watch William Friedkin’s immortal shocker\, and after the film\, Troy will give some details about the film’s “curse\,” including the deaths that happened on the set and the serial killer who was in the film. \n\n\n\nDOORS: 6 pmTALK: 6:30 pmFILM: 7 pmPlus a bonus mini-talk on the deaths surrounding the film production immediately after the film! \n\n\n\nAdapted by William Peter Blatty from his controversial bestseller\, this shocking 1973 thriller set an intense and often-copied milestone for screen terror with its unflinching depiction of a young girl (Linda Blair) who is possessed by an evil spirit. Jason Miller and Max von Sydow play the priests who risk their sanity and their lives to administer the rites of demonic exorcism\, and Ellen Burstyn plays Blair’s mother\, who can only stand by in horror as her daughter’s body is wracked by satanic disfiguration. One of the most horrifying movies ever made\, The Exorcist had audiences fainting in the aisles and puking in the lobbies upon its original release. It’s lost none of its power to shock in the intervening half century. \n\n\n\nTroy will also be selling and signing copies of The Devil Came to St. Louis in the lobby! \n\n\n\nNOTE: This event is not available with the Club Arkadin pass. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE DEVIL CAME TO ST. LOUIS The 1949 exorcism that took place in St. Louis\, Missouri\, has become one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history. But is the story so mysterious because of the events that occurred — or because so much of the story has been kept secret over the years? After the events in the story concluded\, it was decided that further investigation of the case was “counterproductive”\, and details were buried. The identity of the allegedly possessed boy was hidden to protect his identity. If not for a series of coincidences\, the story would have never likely been revealed at all and would never have inspired books\, films\, documentaries\, and more.  \n\n\n\nABOUT TROY TAYLORTroy Taylor is the author of more than 150 books on history\, hauntings\, true crime\, the unexplained\, and the supernatural in America. He is the founder of American Hauntings Ink\, which offers books\, events\, and ghost tours\, and is the owner of the American Oddities Museum in Alton\, Illinois. He is also the writer and co-host of the American Hauntings Podcast.  He has appeared in numerous television shows and documentaries\, and his book about the St. Louis Exorcism of 1949 is currently under option to be turned into a film by a major production company.  \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:$3 MONDAY MYSTERY MOVIE: The Scariest Micro-Budget Horror Movie Ever Made
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the last Monday of every month\, Arkadin chooses an underseen deep cut to inflict upon an unwitting audience. Though the genre and tone may change\, the price always remains the same: three measly bucks. You can’t afford not to get yourself a ticket!  \n\n\n\nThis October\, we bring you a terrifying treat from the depths of cinematic hell. Shot on a consumer-grade camcorder with an almost nonexistent budget\, this deeply unsettling thriller feels like a mystery in itself. The horror glimpsed through the low lighting and late-90s digital grain makes this feel as if the implied horror might turn real at any moment. Watching it feels like you picked up an unmarked VHS tape in a thrift store and stumbled on a snuff film. In short\, this haunting thriller is one of the eeriest\, most unsettling films we’ve seen in a long time. We can’t wait to inflict its unnerving\, malevolent aura on you this Spooky Season.  \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:Gory\, offbeat zom-com CEMETERY MAN (1994)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Poetic\, absurd\, artful\, and successfully\, intentionally funny… an unexpected gem\, and one of the best cinema experiences I’ve ever had” – Flinching with Delight \n\n\n\nA gory zombie movie\, an offbeat black comedy\, and a sweeping gothic romance all rolled into one\, Cemetery Man is truly unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Francesco Dellamorte (Rupert Everett) is the groundskeeper at a cemetery where the dead just won’t stay dead—and it’s up to him to deal with those who come back to life with a hunger for human flesh. But Dellamorte’s job soon becomes much more complicated when he falls for an enigmatic young woman (Anna Falchi) whose husband has recently died. Based on the novel by Tiziano Sclavi and directed by Michele Soavi\, Cemetery Man is a late masterpiece of Italian horror: quirky\, gory\, romantic\, and the perfect lead-in to Halloween. \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:BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992) w/ Simpsons Treehouse of Horror pre-show @ 6 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Uniquely dreamlike\, lushly romantic\, highly erotic…does for the vampire genre what The Godfather did for the gangster saga” – Seattle Post-Intelligencer \n\n\n\nWith a dizzying of old-school in-camera cinematic trickery\, Francis Coppola’s 1992 version of Bram Stoker’s immortal novel is perhaps the most exuberant\, extravagant Dracula ever made. Gary Oldman stars as an alternately urbane and decrepit version of the blood-sucking Count while Winona Ryder brings an ineffable sensuality to Mina\, the vampire’s paramour. Anthony Hopkins plays Van Helsing\, the vampire slayer\, with tongue firmly in cheek while musician Tom Waits bounces off the walls as Dracula’s hapless familiar Renfield\, who craves the blood of insects and cats. And who can forget poor Keanu Reeves in one of his more controversial performances as Jonathan Harker\, who has the “misfortune” of getting seduced by Dracula’s three half-naked wives. There’s a little bit of everything in this version of Dracula: gore\, high-speed horseback chases\, passion\, and longing. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a pre-show devoted to The Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror beginning at 6 pm. (Yes\, of course we’ll be playing “Bart Simpson’s Dracula.”) \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:HALLOWEEN POE-A-THON: Silent Poe -- The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) + The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar (1936)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Halloween\, we doff our cap to the granddaddy of horror\, Edgar Allan Poe\, with our all-day POE-A-THON! Featuring nearly 12 hours of Poe adaptations\, we’ve got everything from avant-garde silents to stone-cold classics to a mystery WTF disasterpiece you won’t want to miss. Plus THREE movies starring St. Louis’ beloved hometown horror hero\, Vincent Price\, and two FREE events. Each screening is ticketed separately\, so come for a movie or two\, or stay all day … if your nerves can handle it. \n\n\n\n“I barely stirred during the film’s 66-minute running time. A tone\, an atmosphere\, was created that actually worked. As with Nosferatu\, the film seemed less a fiction than the realization of some phantasmagoric alternative reality.” – Roger Ebert \n\n\n\nPlaying like an opium-induced hallucination\, The Fall of the House of Usher is silent cinema at its eeriest and most evocative. Directed by French Impressionist filmmaker Jean Epstein and co-written by legendary Surrealist Luis Buñuel\, this atmospheric nightmare takes one of Poe’s most famous stories and traps you inside its titular location\, a sprawling\, unsettlingly sparse mansion that seems to breathe\, its walls bending under the pressure of obsession and impending doom. With its dreamlike pacing\, uncanny imagery\, and disorienting visual tricks\, the film transforms the tale into a trance-inducing spectral cinema worthy of comparison to Nosferatu and Vampyr. \n\n\n\nThis program also includes the 1936 silent short The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar based on Poe’s story about a doctor who performs a hypnosis experiment on a dying man\, trapping him between life and death. Surprisingly graphic and grotesque for a low-budget Italian film from the 1930s\, this 12-minute short is a perfect Halloween trick and treat. \n\n\n\nThis program runs approximately 77 minutes. \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:HALLOWEEN POE-A-THON: Karloff and Lugosi face off in The Black Cat (1934) w/ The Tell-Tale Heart (1941)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Halloween\, we doff our cap to the granddaddy of horror\, Edgar Allan Poe\, with our all-day POE-A-THON! Featuring nearly 12 hours of Poe adaptations\, we’ve got everything from avant-garde silents to stone-cold classics to a mystery WTF disasterpiece you won’t want to miss.

Each screening is ticketed separately\, so come for a movie or two\, or stay all day … if your nerves can handle it. \n\n\n\n“This bizarre\, utterly irrational masterpiece has images that bury themselves in the mind” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nHorror icons Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi teamed up—and faced off—for the first time in director Edgar G. Ulmer’s macabre Pre-code chiller The Black Cat\, which borrows its title (and admittedly not a whole lot else) from Edgar Allan Poe’s tale of terror. Anticipating Rocky Horror by four decades\, the film spins a tale of American honeymooners\, Joan and Peter Allison\, held captive in a creepy mansion against their will. But instead of a transsexual Transylvanian\, here it’s Black Mass high priest Hjalmar Poelzig (Karloff)\, who has chosen Joan to be the Devil’s bride. Lugosi co-stars as Poelzig’s frenemy\, psychiatrist Dr. Vitus Werdegast\, in this singular Universal chiller that features necrophilia\, ailurophobia (Lugosi collapses at the sight of a cat)\, drugs\, a deadly game of chess\, torture\, flaying\, and a human sacrifice. \n\n\n\nThis program also includes the 1941 short\, The Tell-Tale Heart. The directorial debut of legendary auteur Jules Dassin (Night and the City\, Rififi)\, this 20-minute scorcher is “positively a-swill in Orson Wellesian tropes: the crouching camera\, the chiaroscuro lighting\, the mood-deepening use of silences and sound effects” (Richard Corliss). \n\n\n\nThe full program runs approximately runs approximately 86 minutes. \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:HALLOWEEN POE-A-THON: Vincent Price in HOUSE OF USHER (1960)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Halloween\, we doff our cap to the granddaddy of horror\, Edgar Allan Poe\, with our all-day POE-A-THON!

Each screening is ticketed separately\, so come for a movie or two\, or stay all day … if your nerves can handle it. \n\n\n\n“A hallucinatory swirl of a movie that has the feel of an especially sharp nightmare.” – Keith Phipps\, The Dissolve \n\n\n\nWhen exploitation maestro Roger Corman decided to raise his game by hiring Vincent Price to star in an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic story “The Fall of the House of Usher\,” he kicked off a cycle of Poe adaptations that would redefine American horror cinema. Price stars as the mercurial Roderick Usher\, who lives in a vast crumbling mansion with his sister Madeleine (Myrna Fahey). When Madeleine’s fiance (Mark Damon) comes to visit\, Roderick tries to talk him out of the wedding\, explaining that the Usher family is cursed and that extending its bloodline will only prolong the agony. Madeleine wants to elope with Philip\, but neither of them can predict what ruthless lengths Roderick will go to in order to keep them apart. Richard Matheson’s intelligent\, literate script is enhanced by Floyd Crosby’s stylish widescreen cinematography\, but it’s Vincent Price’s anguished conviction in one of his signature roles that makes the film so chillingly memorable over half a century on. \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:HALLOWEEN POE-A-THON: Vincent Price presents An Evening of Edgar Allan Poe (1970) -- FREE!
DESCRIPTION:This Halloween\, we doff our cap to the granddaddy of horror\, Edgar Allan Poe\, with our all-day POE-A-THON! Featuring nearly 12 hours of Poe adaptations\, we’ve got everything from avant-garde silents to stone-cold classics to a mystery WTF disasterpiece you won’t want to miss. Plus THREE movies starring St. Louis’ beloved hometown horror hero\, Vincent Price\, and two FREE events. Each screening is ticketed separately\, so come for a movie or two\, or stay all day … if your nerves can handle it. \n\n\n\n“50+ minutes of Vincent Price reading Edgar Allan Poe shorts in his highly dramatized fashion? …YES PLEASE!! What an incredible work of atmospheric storytelling.” – Matt Winfield\, Letterboxd \n\n\n\nAfter Vincent Price gave a dramatic reading of Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart to a mesmerized audience on The Mike Douglas Show\, executive producer Ken Johnson approached the actor about enacting that Poe story and three others for a television special. It would prove to be a complete tour de force performance\, and one the venerable actor considered his greatest ever. With minimal stage decoration\, music by Les Baxter\, and an abundance of enthusiasm\, Price delivers blistering dramatized readings of The Tell-Tale Heart\, The Sphinx\, The Cask of Amontillado\, and The Pit and the Pendulum\, each in distinctly different character (and often two) and a full wardrobe provided by his wife and costume designer\, Mary. The results are electrifying—the perfect way to spend an hour of your Halloween night. \n\n\n\nThe full program runs 54 minutes. \n\n\n\nThis event is not ticketed. Seats are first come\, first served. Doors open around 6:30 pm\, after the conclusion of HOUSE OF USHER. \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:HALLOWEEN POE-A-THON: Vincent Price in THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (1964)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Halloween\, we doff our cap to the granddaddy of horror\, Edgar Allan Poe\, with our all-day POE-A-THON! Featuring nearly 12 hours of Poe adaptations\, we’ve got everything from avant-garde silents to stone-cold classics to a mystery WTF disasterpiece you won’t want to miss.

Each screening is ticketed separately\, so come for a movie or two\, or stay all day … if your nerves can handle it. \n\n\n\n“A moment of genuine brilliance from Corman\, a master class in villainy by Vincent Price\, and a reminder of the enduring power of Poe’s work.” – Fanboys of the Universe \n\n\n\nThis penultimate entry in Roger Corman’s Poe Cycle is also perhaps the greatest Poe film of all time. Vincent Price stars as the diabolical\, devil-worshipping Prince Prospero who reigns over an empire of death and debauchery during the time of the Black Death. Propero’s castle is a haven of depravity amidst the suffering of the plague\, but when a mysterious\, uninvited guest crashes his lavish masquerade ball\, there’ll be hell to pay as the party atmosphere turns into a danse macabre! Featuring eye-popping Cinemascope photography courtesy of DP Nicolas Roeg (who would go on to direct his own horror classic\, Don’t Look Now\, also playing this month)\, The Masque of the Red Death finds Corman at his most ambitious\, Price at his most chilling\, and Poe adapted with the uncanny sense of awe\, mystery\, and black humor his work demands. \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.
