Arsenic and Old Lace; 2:15pm; 1944;, 2 hours
Frank Capra’s Halloween comedy is one of the most beloved and popular movies from Hollywood’s Golden Era….On Halloween Day, a man learns that his eccentric but sweet aunts have been seeking out lonely, elderly men, poisoning them, and burying them in the basement. Cary Grant stars; Jean Adair and Josephine Hull play Grant’s loveable aunts, reprising their roles from the hit Broadway play.
The Exorcist; 5pm; 1973; 2 hours, 12 minutes
The Exorcist might be the most influential post – World War II American horror film and defined the genre for a generation of filmmakers. A 12 year old girl becomes possessed by a malevolent spirit, and her only hope is an exorcism. Linda Blair, Ellen Burstyn, and Max Von Sydow star. The Exorcist received 10 Academy Award nominations, winning two. We are screening the even scarier Director’s Cut.
The Wailing; 8pm; 2016; 2 hours, 36 minutes
A foreigner’s mysterious appearance in a quiet, rural village causes suspicion among the locals – suspicion which quickly turns to hysteria as the townspeople begin killing each other for seemingly no reason. As the investigating officer watches his daughter fall under the same savage spell, he agrees to consult a shaman for answers – unknowingly escalating the situation into something far more dangerous.
The Wailing is a murder mystery, a zombie movie, a tale of demonic possession, and a parable of bad parenting gone wrong. At times outrageously funny, it’s a moral and/or narrative puzzler that will keep you guessing days or weeks later.
