Our friends at Creepy AF are back to sponsor a screening to celebrate Halloween and St. Patrick’s Day with Halloween III: Season of the Witch! This is truly, at its roots, the most Irish horror film there is. If you know, you know! And if you don’t…well…don’t miss it on the big screen!
Every movie ticket purchased comes with a free raffle ticket! Horror Producer Ace Jordan will introduce the film and raffle off some cool prizes before the show, so get there early and don’t miss out! Anyone wearing green or wearing a costume (related to Halloween 3: Season of the Witch) will receive an additional raffle ticket! Those who don’t wear green at all will get pinched!*
The film follows Dr. Daniel Challis (Tom Atkins) and Ellie Grimbridge (Stacey Nelkin) as they investigate the mysterious death of Ellie’s father, which leads them to the eerie town of Santa Mira. There, they uncover a sinister plot by Conal Cochran (Dan O’Herlihy), the owner of Silver Shamrock Novelties, who plans to unleash a deadly Halloween night massacre through his popular masks, embedded with ancient Celtic magic and microchips that trigger lethal transformations when activated by a televised jingle. Racing against time, Challis must stop the broadcast before millions of children fall victim to Cochran’s horrifying scheme.
*we will not really be pinching anybody–we promise!

Continuing to shine a spotlight on our dearly departed David Lynch, we have added final encores of his unsung masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
In the town of Twin Peaks, everyone has their secrets—but especially Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). In this prequel to his groundbreaking 1990s television series, David Lynch resurrects the teenager found wrapped in plastic at the beginning of the show, following her through the last week of her life and teasing out the enigmas that surround her murder. Homecoming queen by day and drug-addicted thrill seeker by night, Laura leads a double life that pulls her deeper and deeper into horror as she pieces together the identity of the assailant who has been terrorizing her for years.
Nightmarish in its vision of an innocent torn apart by unfathomable forces, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is nevertheless one of Lynch’s most humane films, aching with compassion for its tortured heroine—a character as enthralling in life as she was in death.

The second entry into our Hallucinations series is Def By Temptation!
Joel grew up in the church but has recently started questioning his beliefs. After sensing a supernatural presence from his deceased father, Joel becomes compelled to visit his cousin in New York. But shortly after arriving, they become embroiled in a series of mysterious homicides of local men, all of whom were last seen in the company of a mysterious and beautiful woman. Beautifully photographed by Ernest Dickerson (Do The Right Thing) and starring Kadeem Hardison (I’m Gonna Get You Sucka) and Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction), this sole directorial effort from child actor James Bond III is a macabre, neon-tinged portrait of late 1980s Brooklyn. The movie blends supernatural horror and religious mysticism, punctuated by an electrifying hip hop and R&B soundtrack. Newly restored from the original 35mm camera negative!
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”. Plante will introduce each film with some behind-the-scenes history and critical context. With Hallucinations, The Frida Cinema wants to build a communal space for lovers of Weird Cinema. 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.
