You may be done with the DVD, but it’s not done with you.

Read MoreFor our final screening in our Broadway Thursdays: Segerstrom Center at The Frida series, we’re dying to bring you the wickedly funny cult classic Death Becomes Her!
Longtime rivals Madeline Ashton and Helen Sharp will stop at nothing to outshine one another, until a mysterious potion promises youth and beauty forever. But immortality comes with a few unexpected side effects, and their decades-long feud quickly descends into increasingly outrageous acts of revenge, all while their bewildered plastic surgeon Ernest Menville is caught in the middle.
Years ahead of its time, Death Becomes Her blends razor-sharp satire with groundbreaking visual effects and gloriously camp performances from Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, Bruce Willis, and Isabella Rossellini. It’s the kind of deliciously over-the-top crowd-pleaser that only gets better with age.

From the Amazon’s forbidden depths comes…Creature from the Black Lagoon!
Cinematic Void is invading The Frida Cinema again to present one of the crown jewels of Universal’s monster canon that introduced audiences to the unforgettable Gill-man!
When scientists exploring the Amazon River stumble on a “missing link” connecting humans and fish, they plan to capture it for later study. But the Creature has plans of his own, and has set his sights on the lead scientist’s beautiful fiancée, Kay.
Combining atmospheric underwater photography and unforgettable creature effects, the film remains a marvel of 1950s genre filmmaking. More than seventy years later, the Gill-man still stands among cinema’s most iconic monsters, re-surfacing from the depths every so often to captivate new generation of moviegoers.
Read MoreOur second Volunteer of the Month pick for July comes via Avalon, who has chosen chosen the hallucinatory body-horror classic Videodrome from visionary filmmaker and certified sicko David Cronenberg.
As the president of a trashy TV channel, Max Renn is desperate for new programming to attract viewers. When he happens upon “Videodrome,” a TV show dedicated to gratuitous torture and punishment, Max sees a potential hit and broadcasts the show on his channel. However, after his girlfriend auditions for the show and never returns, Max investigates the truth behind Videodrome and discovers that the graphic violence may not be as fake as he thought.
Videodrome remains one of Cronenberg’s most provocative and unsettling works. Filled with unforgettable practical effects and audacious ideas, the film predicts a world consumed by screens while asking who controls the images we consume.

We’re teaming with our spooky friend Kialey Hail (aka Ghoul Host) for a special 30th anniversary screening of the ultimate teen occult classic, The Craft!
When new student Sarah arrives at a Catholic high school in Los Angeles, she falls in with a trio of outsider girls who practice witchcraft. As their powers grow, so do their ambitions, allowing them to finally take control of their lives. But what begins as empowerment soon spirals into consequences none of them can escape.
A fun mix of Thriller and coming-of-age Drama, The Craft remains a defining artifact of ’90s alternative culture and a certified Frida Cinema classic. Powered by unforgettable performances from Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, and Rachel True, this endlessly quotable cult favorite still casts a spell three decades later.

We’ve added an encore screening of Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama’s iconic 2009 cult classic Jennifer’s Body!
Jennifer, a gorgeous, seductive cheerleader takes evil to a whole new level after she’s possessed by a sinister demon. Now it’s up to her best friend to stop Jennifer’s reign of terror before it’s too late.
Cody’s signature dialogue, the emo-era soundtrack, and terrific darkly comedic performances from a stacked cast including Amanda Seyfriend, Megan Fox, Johnny Simmons, Adam Brody, Kyle Gallner, and many more, make Jennifer’s Body the perfect 2000s era time capsule to present for Pride Month this year! Come see it on the big screen with a hot crowd!
Read MorePlay It By Fear is continuing their June Gloom programming as they present a Sunday Scaries screening of the black-and-white version of Frank Darabont and Stephen King’s The Mist!
After a violent storm, a dense cloud of mist envelops a small Maine town, trapping David Drayton and his five-year-old son in a local grocery store with other local residents. They soon discover that the mist conceals deadly horrors that threaten their lives, and worse, their sanity.
What can we say about The Mist that won’t spoil one of cinema’s best endings ever? It combines pulpy monster-movie thrills with a savage critique of fear-driven groupthink, and also features a career-defining turn from Marcia Gay Harden as the terrifyingly self-righteous Mrs. Carmody. Come see the version that Darabont always wanted audiences to see, as the black-and-white version proves superior for many fans!

But as a series of increasingly horrifying events begin unfolding around the child, Robert is pulled into a terrifying conspiracy involving the possible arrival of the Antichrist himself.
Directed by John Moore, The Omen updates the dread-soaked atmosphere of the original for a new generation while retaining its mounting sense of inevitable doom.

Our first Volunteer of the Month pick for June comes courtesy of Jasmine, who has picked legendary filmmaker M Night Shyamalan’s 2002 nerve-shredding Sci Fi thriller Signs!
Set on an isolated Pennsylvania farm, the film follows former minister Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) as he and his family begin discovering enormous crop circles appearing in their fields. As strange lights, unsettling broadcasts, and inexplicable encounters begin mounting across the globe, Graham, his brother Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix), and his children are forced to confront the terrifying possibility that something is watching them from the darkness beyond the cornfields.
Mixing an alien invasion spectacle movie with an intimate story about grief, Signs is as masterfully tense as it is emotional. There’s nothing quite like seeing an M Night movie on the big screen.
