SUMMARY:THE CRAFT (1996) -- 30th Anniversary!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“WITCHCRAFT\, SISTERHOOD AND EMPOWERMENT! Encourage[s] the downtrodden to find that bit of magic that resides in all of us.” – Ghouls Magazine \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\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. \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. 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+. We follow the MPAA rating guidelines for all other films.\n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased using the BUY TICKETS link above. Upon ordering\, you will receive a confirmation email from Square. Tickets may also be purchased on the day of the show at the concession counter.\n\n\n\nIf you’ve purchased advance tickets\, when you arrive\, please give your name at the concession counter to check in. \n\n\n\nTickets are returnable by sending a request through the contact form located on our About Us page prior to showtime.\n\n\n\nWhen an event is sold out\, we reserve the right to release open seats to customers on the waitlist. If you have a pre-purchased ticket and arrive late and there is no seat for you\, your ticket will be refunded.\n\n\n\nAll screenings are held in our indoor theater unless indicated otherwise in the event description above.\n\n\n\nPlease respect your fellow movie-goers by remaining quiet and refraining from using your cell phone throughout the screening.

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! On the backlot you’ll find vendors and practitioners selling witchy wares and providing tarot readings\, limpias\, sound healing and reiki.

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. 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:$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\nRestoration by Severin Films. \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. 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“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! 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“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. 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+.

SUMMARY:HALLOWEEN POE-A-THON: Vincent Price in THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (1964)

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.

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.

SUMMARY:NOIRVEMBER: Jazzy\, fog-drenched thriller THE BIG COMBO (1955) -- $3
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Shadows and lies are the stars of The Big Combo\, a spellbinding black-and-white chiaroscuro with the segmented texture of a spider’s web” – Ed Gonzalez\, Slant Magazine \n\n\n\nFrom the aching strains of its jazzy opening theme to a gunfight climax bathed in fog\, Jospeh H. Lewis’s The Big Combo delivers everything you want from a noir and more. Cornel Wilde stars as Lt. Diamond\, who claws his way through a city of shadows on his obsessive quest to put away gangster kingpin Mr. Brown (Richard Conte)\, whose silky smooth voice and icy cold cruelty chills the city’s back alleys and corridors. John Alton’s rich\, shadowy B&W cinematography envelops the film’s violent underworld in an atmosphere of poetic mystery. Spotlights blind\, silhouettes melt into fog\, and smoke chokes the air\, as anyone who gets in Mr. Brown’s way meets a brutal fate—including a musical torture scene that inspired Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. \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\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

This is easily one of the best films Ralph Bakshi directed and a perfect animated representation of the artwork of Frank Frazetta… full of grotesque and ruthless creatures\, dark violence\, sexy and buxom women and epic battles… A classic of fantasy cinema and a classic of animation.” – EuroCultAV \n\n\n\nFrom the director of the original animated THE LORD OF THE RINGS and the illustrator of CONAN THE BARBARIAN… It began as a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between two of the greatest icons of the fantasy genre: Controversial animator Ralph Bakshi (director of Fritz the Cat\, Wizards\, and the original The Lord of the Rings) and legendary illustrator Frank Frazetta (creator of the iconic Conan the Barbarian). It became—and remains—one of the most startling animation epics of all time. Experience a world unlike any ever seen\, where savage warriors\, horrific monsters and luscious maidens battle for the soul of a civilization in a time of good and evil\, pleasure and pain\, and Fire and Ice. Thanks to Blue Underground’s 4K restoration\, this dark fantasy classic has never looked better. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Dark Fantasy Animation pre-show beginning at 4:45 pm. \n\n\n\nEach month\, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild\, wonderful world of animation.

SUMMARY:Dolly Parton in 9 TO 5 (1980) -- FREE screening presented by STL DSA
DESCRIPTION:“An absolute delight of working class rage…If only these three characters could take charge of the United States for a few years.” – Egregious \n\n\n\nAn of-the-moment social comedy with enduring ramifications\, 9 to 5 focuses on the trials and tribulations of three working women\, fabulously played by Jane Fonda\, Lily Tomlin\, and the late\, great Dolly Parton (making her extraordinary movie debut). Suffering under the world’s worst—and most sexist—boss (Dabney Coleman)\, the trio live out their madcap fantasies of revenge and ultimate triumph\, proving themselves in the process. Powered by Dolly’s timeless title theme tune\, 9 to 5 remains razor-sharp satire on the institutional and interpersonal misogyny of American corporate life\, as well as a raucous\, rousing crowd pleaser. \n\n\n\nThis 100% FREE screening is presented by St. Louis Democratic Socialists of America\, who will introduce the film. No ticket required. Seats are first come\, first served. \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:BLACK TIGHT KILLERS (1966) 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\nIn director Yasuharu Hasebe’s hyper-stylized debut feature Black Tight Killers\, Daisuke Honda (Akira Kobayashi) is a young war photographer that haphazardly gets involved with a stewardess named Yoriko. Soon Yoriko gets kidnapped by a group of leather-clad\, go-go-dancing female assassins. When Daisuke attempts to rescue her\, he finds himself battling female ninjas armed with unexpected weapons like chewing gum bullets\, exploding bras\, and vinyl records used like deadly throwing stars. Daisuke’s rescue efforts quickly reveal a larger plot that involves a foreign group of treasure hunters looking for a lost World War II relic hidden on a secret island by Yuriko’s father.  \n\n\n\nBlack Tight Killers is a pop-art-infused ’60s spy thriller drenched in neon lights and vibrant sets. The film was almost completely overlooked outside of Japan during its original release in 1966\, but has been rediscovered and embraced as Japan’s unique response to the James Bond franchise. The film is now an unforgettable time capsule documenting post-war Japan’s full embrace of swinging ’60s youth culture with a stylistic sheen of the Japanese New Wave.   \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 GOOD SON (1993) 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 creepy\, unpleasant experience\, made all the worse because it stars children too young to understand the horrible things we see them doing.” – Roger Ebert \n\n\n\nFollowing the death of his mother\, 12-year-old Mark Evans (Elijah Wood) is sent to live with family in Maine\, and becomes fast friends with his cousin Henry (Macaulay Culkin). But as they pal around\, looking for mischief\, something alarming becomes clear: Henry is far from the perfect child he appears\, and may\, in fact\, be evil. And as the only one who can see the truth\, it’s up to Mark to warn the others before Henry comes gunning for him. \n\n\n\nIn a classic example of playing against type\, Macaulay Culkin subverted his status as the most famous child star in the world with this disturbing glimpse into the mind of a budding psychopath. Poised against the equally precocious Elijah Wood\, Culkin’s Henry Evans is a demon with the face of an angel\, a master manipulator hellbent on taking out anyone who stands in his way. Framed as the Bad Seed of the ‘90s\, The Good Son leveraged Culkin’s image as the golden boy of Hollywood to reveal the rot at the heart of the American dream. \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:Hilarious buddy-cop parody HOT FUZZ (2007)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Hot Fuzz is everything an action-comedy should be. It achieves through parody what most films in the genre can’t accomplish straight.” – Nathan Rabin\, The AV Club \n\n\n\nNicholas Angel (Simon Pegg)\, the finest cop in London\, is so good that he makes everyone else look bad. So Angel’s superiors send him to the sleepy village of Sandford\, where he is partnered with Danny Butterman (Nick Frost)\, a bumbling cop but a huge action movie fan. But when Angel discovers that the seemingly sleepy Sandford is not what it seems\, it’s time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice. The second entry in Edgar Wright’s beloved “Cornetto Trilogy” (sandwiched between the equally hilarious Shaun of the Dead and The World’s End)\, Hot Fuzz takes the director’s signature blend of sharp comedy\, genre parody\, and sneaky feeling and turns it into a gloriously over-the-top action film. Packed with rapid-fire jokes and explosive set pieces that lovingly recreate the feel of 80s and 90s action movies\, Hot Fuzz is to the buddy-cop genre what Shaun of the Dead was to the zombie film: loving tribute and hilarious send-up. \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:CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT (2023) with Aaron Shaps\, editor of The Ultimate Cut & author of Caligula: The Official Story of the Film
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Aligning closely with Gore Vidal’s original script\, Caligula: The Ultimate Cut climbs out of its salacious cocoon to become what it was always meant to be: a genuine masterwork tracking one man’s descent into madness painted on a canvas of hedonism.” – But Why Tho \n\n\n\nAbsolute power corrupts absolutely in Caligula: The Ultimate Cut\, an extensive reconstruction of the notorious 1980 spectacle. Shadowed by the murder of his family\, Caligula (Malcolm McDowell) eliminates his devious adoptive grandfather (Peter O’Toole) and seizes control of the Roman Empire alongside his wife Caesonia (Helen Mirren) before descending into a spiral of depravity\, destruction\, and madness. Constructed entirely from previously unused footage\, The Ultimate Cut is “a historic act of preservation” (Variety) that restores this work from its notoriously altered original theatrical version—which featured hardcore sex scenes inserted by the film’s producer\, Penthouse editor Bob Guccione—to its proper status as a glorious\, vicious “masterpiece” (Unspooled). \n\n\n\nAfter the film\, we are honored to welcome Aaron Shaps\, editor of The Ultimate Cut and author of Caligula: The Official Story of the Film\, for a discussion and Q&A. Aaron will also have copies of his books available for purchase! \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:NOIRVEMBER: Taut\, clammy crime thriller with pressure-cooker suspense KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL (1952) -- $3!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Terse and tough\, Kansas City Confidential is one of the great lean\, mean B crime thrillers\, with a bang-up opening\, a deadly payoff and a shifting set of identities and alliances that keep pulling the rug from under our hero.” – Sean Axmaker\, Parallax View \n\n\n\nKansas City Confidential is a tight\, grimy noir about ex‑con delivery driver Joe Rolfe\, who gets framed for an armored‑car robbery orchestrated by the ruthless Mr. Big. As Rolfe fights his way through a tangle of masked crooks to clear his name\, director Phil Karlson ratchets up the tension with his trademark bruising realism. Filled with intense close‑ups\, shocking violence\, and a relentless pace\, this taut thriller may be the sweatiest movie ever made. Made on a small budget for the independent studio Edward Small Productions\, this pulpy pressure cooker was a rousing success that helped define the “heist‑gone-wrong” blueprint for later films\, including Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs\, which borrows from it liberally. \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\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:Get the willies for Diwali with wild Bollywood horror musical extravaganza VEERANA (1988)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“It never gets dull for a single second! There’s a constant non-stop manic energy which never wavers\, that puts this on the same footing as legendary cult favorites like Tobe Hooper or Tetsuo: The Iron Man… Extremely reckless and energetic.” – James Ford \n\n\n\nIf you only see one erotic supernatural Bollywood horror film in your life\, it should be the legendary Veerana. And what better time to experience this magnificently bizarre extravaganza than during Diwali!  \n\n\n\nThe story follows Jasmin\, a bloodsucking seductress who leads men to their doom after being possessed by the spirit of a witch. Unless Jasmin’s family can find a way to break the curse\, she’ll be used in a Satanic ritual to raise the real witch from her tomb. A kaleidoscopic dream zone full of Bava-esque lightning\, gloopy monsters\, and a killer synth score\, this is the most extravagant production from the infamous filmmaking dynasty known as the Ramsay Brothers (India’s most popular and successful horror filmmakers); a fever dream of gothic castles\, evil spirits\, and enough fog machine smoke to blot out the sun. \n\n\n\nInitially rejected by the Central Board of Film Certification for its mixture of sex and horror (and ostensibly because the film had a female monster) and critically dismissed upon its initial release\, Veerana has become one of the most beloved cult films in Indian genre cinema. The film helped define the Ramsay Brothers’ brand of low-budget horror and remains a staple of midnight screenings\, VHS nostalgia\, and internet-fueled rediscovery. Decades later\, audiences continue to celebrate its delirious blend of supernatural terror\, camp excess\, and glorious cinematic chaos. Recently restored\, Veerana is primed to delight you with Satanic fury. \n\n\n\n1988\, 135 minutes\, India\, In Hindi with English Subtitles\, Presented with an intermission. \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\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:WWI epic THE BIG PARADE (1925) 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“Every war movie since owes it an irredeemable debt… Vidor energizes The Big Parade by smashing together two atoms\, a nation’s pride and a mother’s sorrow\, the combination refracting the audience’s emotions into an unsettling tangle. It all concludes on a decisive note of despair and regret\, but audiences carry from the film a heart so full\, so torn by elation and the abyss\, that they won’t know if they’re coming or going.” – The Village Voice \n\n\n\nFor Armistice Day\, Silents\, Please! brings you the quintessential WWI epic. The highest-grossing silent film of all time\, as well as one cinema’s first truly realistic war dramas\, The Big Parade offers an unflinching look at the perils of combat. John Gilbert stars as an idle rich boy who joins the US Army’s Rainbow Division and is sent to France to fight in the Great War. Along the way he befriends two working class men\, Slim (Karl Dane) and Bull (Tom O’Brien)\, finds love with a French girl (Renée Adorée)\, and experiences the horrors of trench warfare. Praised for its realistic depiction of warfare\, King Vidor’s epic heavily influenced many subsequent war films\, particularly the 1930 Best Picture winner All Quiet on the Western Front.

SUMMARY:LA HAINE (1995) -- Free screening presented by MICA Project
DESCRIPTION:“★★★★★ – Radiates with rage and comedy… La Haine is an unmissable response to an unending emergency.” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nMathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with La Haine\, a gritty\, unsettling\, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France\, specifically the low-income banlieue districts on Paris’s outskirts. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia\, Vinz (Vincent Cassel)\, Hubert (Hubert Koundé)\, and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui)—Jewish\, African\, and Arab\, respectively—give human faces to France’s immigrant populations\, their bristling resentment at their marginalization slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point. A work of tough beauty\, La Haine is a landmark of 1990s French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis. \n\n\n\nThis 100% FREE screening is presented by the Migrant and Immigrant Community Action Project (MICA Project)\, who will introduce the screening. No ticket required. Seats are first come\, first served. \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.
