Schedule

Time Movie Description
Winchester Crazy lady builds a crazier house to trick ghosts.
Short Break Recommended bridge entertainment: Mickey Mouse - The Mad Doctor
Frankenweenie (2012) Stop-motion remake of Tim Burton's first film. It's Frankenstein, but with a dog.
Rope This year's classic film is from Alfred Hitchcock. Imagine Jimmy Stewart as a Nietzschean murderer with gay undertones!
Short Break Recommended bridge entertainment: Michael Jackson - Thriller
Halloween III This campy modern classic is the only entry in the Halloween series to not include Michael Myers, fulfilling the initial intent to be an anthology collection. Though this originally confused audiences, it's since developed a cult following.
Dinner
Susperia (1977) A gory classic of Italian horror cinema. The Times wrote it had "slender charms, though they will most assuredly be lost on viewers who are squeamish."
Talk to Me This year's new release is an A24 film with a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. The ads promise that it'll be scary.
