In this house…if you’ve seen one ghost…you haven’t seen them all!

The Frida Cinema and OC Pride are teaming up to present a screening of Tim Burton’s 1988 ghoulish comedy Beetlejuice in honor of the late, great Catherine O’Hara!

As the gloriously pretentious, performance-artist-from-another-dimension Delia Deetz, O’Hara steals every scene she’s in, as she often did throughout her entire career. Her operatic commitment to absurdity turns Delia into one of cinema’s greatest comic creations, just one in a long list of characters she brought her immortal comic pulse to.

Burton’s film balances the macabre with the heartfelt in only a way that he could. Don’t miss a chance to see it on the big screen, one night only!

Just added: the icon, Isabella Xochitl, will be joining us before the screening to perform a pre-show number! 

Join us as we continue or Tribute To Bud Cort series his wonderful performance in Hal Ashby’s Harold and Maude, making its annual return to The Frida Cinema. 

The young Harold (Bud Cort) lives in his own world of suicide-attempts and funeral visits to avoid the misery of his current family and home environment. Harold meets an 80-year-old woman named Maude (Ruth Gordon) who also lives in her own world yet one in which she is having the time of her life. When the two opposites meet they realize that their differences don’t matter and they become best friends and love each other.

Beloved for its quirky humor and tender tone, Harold and Maude is fondly remembered as a black comedy with serious heart.

Beloved character actor Bud Cort built a career out of making the unusual unforgettable. From his odd bird performance in Brewster McCloud to his tender, offbeat turn in Harold And Maude, he gave us a lifetime of bringing humanity to the outsiders he inhabited. Join us in March 2026 as we pay tribute to his work.

Our second Volunteer Of The Month takes a dark detour courtesy of Maggie, who has chosen Crimson Peak, Guillermo del Toro’s 2015 gothic romance.

The film follows Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska), an aspiring writer haunted by the ghostly warning to “Beware of Crimson Peak.” After a whirlwind romance, she marries the enigmatic Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) and moves to his decaying ancestral mansion, Allerdale Hall, alongside his mysterious sister, Lady Lucille (Jessica Chastain). As Edith unravels the sinister history of the Sharpe family and the house itself, she discovers dark truths lurking beneath its beautiful, crumbling facade.

Combining haunting performances and atmosphere dripping with suspense, Crimson Peak is a masterful blend of romance and horror that pays homage to the classic gothic storytelling that its maker grew up obsessed with.
