Corpse Bride

Join us for some extra spooky encores of Tim Burton and Mike Johnson’s Corpse Bride, now celebrating its 20th anniversary with a brand new 4K restoration!

In a gloomy Victorian village where arranged marriages are the norm, nervous groom-to-be Victor (Johnny Depp) accidentally proposes to the wrong bride—one who happens to be dead. Swept into the underworld by the ghostly and gorgeous Emily (Helena Bonham Carter), Victor finds himself torn between two worlds—one teeming with color, music, and life after death, and another gray and suffocating among the living.

With Danny Elfman’s whimsical score and Burton’s signature gothic romanticism, this modern classic remains one of the director’s most heartfelt creations. Don’t miss the chance to see Corpse Bride it on the big screen!

Little Women

Celebrate this holiday season with Greta Gerwig’s joyful, heart-full adaptation of Little Women from 2019. Starring an A+ cast of Saoirse Ronan, Florenge Pugh, Emma Watson, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern, and Timothee Chalamet, it’s the perfect seasonal escape on the big screen. 

The film follows the four March sisters—Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth—as they navigate love and heartbreak in Civil War–era New England. Told across intertwined timelines, the film traces their journey from spirited girlhood to adulthood as they fight to define their own futures.

Bring your friends, bring your family, and ring in the holidays with a film that celebrates sisterhood and the power of following your own path. Little Women has been adapted many times, but Gerwig’s version is the best interpretation yet, and might just be her magnum opus as director.

Dial Code Santa Claus

Our December edition of Hallucinations is the Christmas classic Dial Code Santa Claus aka Deadly Games aka 3615 code Père Noël aka Hide and Freak.

Before Home Alone… there was Dial Code Santa Claus, a French holiday thriller where a tech-savvy kid must defend his mansion from a psychotic man in a Santa suit. What starts as whimsical turns tense, then brutal, then full-on survival horror—all under twinkling lights and fake snow. It’s a fairy tale slasher mixed with a hyperactive 80s toy commercial from hell.

’Tis the season for tinsel, trauma, and booby traps.

Hosted by Polygon’s editor-in-chief Chris Plante, Hallucinations is a monthly event that spotlights movies that challenge our expectations of story, style, and “good taste”. We invite guests to bond over films that change what we expect from the medium, the world, and themselves. So come early, stay late, make friends, and watch something strange, surprising, or just shamelessly sick.
