Halloween

An annual Frida tradition continues with John Carpenter and Debra Hill’s landmark slasher Halloween headlining our Art House Of Horrors series in October!

Halloween is a seminal film in not just the horror genre, but was a pioneering influence on low budget cinema entirely. Its legacy endures almost 50 years later, making it an essential watch for any movie fan! There have been many sequels and imitators, but nothing beats the original.

Trick or Treat (1986): Presented by Cinematic Void

Halloween Hangover Week commences as we team up with our pals at Cinematic Void for a one night only screening the Rocktober classic Trick Or Treat (1986)!

Eddie Weinbauer, a metalhead teen who is bullied at school, looks to his heavy metal superstar idol, Sammi Curr, for guidance. When Curr is killed in a hotel fire, Eddie becomes the recipient of the only copy of Curr’s unreleased album, which, when played backwards, brings Sammi back to life. As Halloween approaches, Eddie begins to realize that this isn’t only rock ‘n roll…it’s life and death.

The Cinematic Void preshow starts at 7:30PM and the movie will begin around 8PM!
