We're thrilled to announce the second of our frightful films we'll be showing October 30 for Ah! Frightening!, our new Halloween Fundraiser. HOUSE is a 1977 Japanese haunted house movie. A group of young female archetypes visit the country home of their friend's aunt, but are in for a scare when the house itself begins to eat them alive. HOUSE was written partially directly from the fears of writer/director Nobuhiko Obayashi's tween daughter, and partially as an exploration of the lingering trauma of the bombing of Hiroshima. There is also a cute cat and lesbian undertones! HOUSE hits some nerves, but stays silly in tone so it still accessible to a broad audience. HOUSE is screened in Japanese with English subtitles. Stay tuned for announcements for the rest of the lineup! Find tickets in our bio.

We're thrilled to announce the first of our frightful films we'll be showing October 30 for Ah! Frightening!, our new Halloween Fundraiser. Carnival of Souls is a 1962 independent psychological horror film that follows Mary Henry, lone survivor of a horrible car accident, as she moves to the terrifying town of Salt Lake City and find herself umable to fit in. Is the answer to her problems in the mysterious abandoned carnival she finds herself drawn to? Or the ghoulish stranger who follows her? Carnival of Souls is a cult classic that demonstrates the ingenuity of the booming independent film world of the 60s and 70s with gorgeous cinematography, a haunting score, and is accessible enough for scardey-cats to join in on the fun (that's why it's first in our lineup) 😉 Stay tuned for announcements for the rest of the lineup!
