The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

The film that changed the horror genre forever is roaring back to life as we close out our Halloween Hangover Weekend with Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre—restored, remastered, and just as merciless as ever.

What begins as an innocent summer road trip through rural Texas becomes a waking nightmare when a group of friends stumbles upon an isolated farmhouse—and the cannibalistic family that calls it home. Released in 1974, Hooper’s masterpiece shattered taboos and redefined the limits of on-screen terror. Filmed with documentary grit and a feverish sense of realism, it’s less of a movie and more of an unrelenting plunge into what feels like genuinely dangerous territory.

Half a century later, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre remains unmatched on a visceral level. Seeing it on the big screen with a packed crowd feels like the only proper way to say goodbye to Spooky Season this year.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Our award-winning resident performance troupe K.A.O.S. returns for their celebrated all-costumed, all-choreographed, all-leg-kicking live shadowcast presentation of 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, performed on stage in front of the film!

Director Jim (Don’t squeeze the…) Sharman’s cult classic stars Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as Brad and Janet, two virginal small-town lovers whose car breaks down in the shadows of a creepy old castle, where they encounter an odd collective of “unconventional conventionalists” gathered to witness transvestite scientist’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s latest creation – a muscular man named Rocky. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including tap-dancing Columbia, rocking biker Eddie, and of course, the castle’s “Sweet Transvestite” himself, Frank-N-Furter!

Adapted from the 1973 stage musical by Richard O’Brien, this glam cult classic is a cinematic experience unlike any other. Sing-along (and shout-along!) to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a classic that still packs houses 50 years after its initial release! Get your tickets now before it sells out!

Doors open at 11:00pm  Official K.A.O.S. preshow starts at 11:30pm!  Movie at midnight!

SENSORY WARNING: Flashing Lights and Fog effects may be used during the event.
