Yellow Veil Pictures presents the new psychosexual horror sci-fi comedy Touch Me, playing one night only at The Frida Cinema on April 4th! And as an added bonus, stick around after the film for a special in-person Q&A the writer/director Addison Heimann!
TThe story follows two emotionally tangled best friends, Joey and Craig (played by Olivia Taylor Dudley and Jordan Gavaris), who are drifting through life when a strange opportunity appears. Joey’s ex-boyfriend Brian (Lou Taylor Pucci) suddenly reenters her life. Oh, also…he’s an alien.
An official selection at the Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, and Fantasia International Festival, Touch Me is an homage to the 1970s Japanese “pink films” and exploitation cinema, blending outrageous sexuality, surreal humor, and practical creature effects.

Just added: guests that dress up like Aunt Gladys to either of our 10:15PM screenings will receive a free small popcorn!
Last night at 2:17 AM, every child from Mrs. Gandy’s class woke up, got out of bed, went downstairs, opened the front door, and walked into the dark.
The Frida Cinema is proud to present Zach Cregger’s suburban horror masterpiece Weapons, hot off the heels of its win at the 2026 Academy Awards, where Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for your unforgettable performance as the terrifying Aunt Gladys.
Weapons tells the story of the quiet town of Maybrook, where a single, terrifying event shatters the community overnight. After seventeen children from the same elementary school class mysteriously vanish from their homes, their community is launched into chaos, with everyone wanting answers. What begins as a baffling missing-children case slowly spirals into something far more disturbing, as the town is forced to confront the possibility that the disappearances may be tied to a darker, more supernatural force lurking beneath the surface.
One of the biggest hits of the year as far as original stories are concerned, Weapons is exactly the type of bold, big-budgeting genre filmmaking we need to be celebrating right now. Don’t miss your chance to see it (or see it again) on the big screen!

Before you die, you see…
The Ring (2002) is our next Sunday Scaries movie, presented by Play It By Fear (@playitbyfear.33)!
Director Gore Verbinski’s chilling American reimagining of a Japanese nightmare follows a journalist (Naomi Watts) who investigates a mysterious videotape linked to a string of sudden deaths. As she races to uncover the tape’s origins, the line between urban legend and supernatural curse begins to dissolve.
Rain-soaked and deeply unnerving, The Ring helped redefine studio horror for the 2000s, continuing this month’s theme of when PG-13 movies were actually scary!

The Dolphin Hotel invites you to stay in any of its stunning rooms. Except one.
Remember when PG-13 movies were actually scary? Play It By Fear (@playitbyfear.33) continues their Sunday Scaries series with a descent into one of the most unsettling hotel rooms in horror: 1408, based on a story by Stephen King!
A skeptical paranormal writer who debunks hauntings for a living books a stay in the infamous Room 1408 of New York’s Dolphin Hotel, determined to prove the legends false. But once inside, he finds himself trapped in a shifting psychological nightmare where the room itself seems to know his fears…and how to use them.
A stripped-down, actor-driven chiller, 1408 stands out for turning a single location into a relentless mind game, proving that sometimes the scariest places aren’t abandoned houses or dark woods, but a room you can’t ever check out of.

Join us for the final film of our Pre-Code Day celebration as we present a brand new 4K restoration of Edgar G. Ulmer’s The Black Cat! Joining us for a special pre-screening introduction for the film will be Kim Luperi, the co-author of the TCM/Running Press book Pre-Code Essentials: Must-See Cinema from Hollywood’s Untamed Era, 1930-1934!
Unlike the gothic fantasy tone of many early Universal horrors, The Black Cat leans into a modern, post-World War I despair. The story is steeped in trauma and betrayal, with Boris Karloff playing one of the era’s coldest villains and Bela Lugosi giving a truly haunted performance.
For a 1934 studio horror, it’s shockingly dark and less of a monster movie as it is a morbid meditation on war and human corruption.

A group of college students attend a watch party for their friend’s newest independent film. The night takes a dark turn when a masked killer starts brutally killing the partygoers one at a time. With each death time resets and we see the events of the night through the eyes of the next attendee.
Amateur student filmmaker, Sean Davis, invites five friends over for the premiere of his overlong short film he made entirely on his own. Not only is Sean’s movie awful, but things just keep getting worse as the screening party attendees are stalked by a ruthless killer in a mask.
Over a single night, the mystery unfolds through the eyes of Wes, Mark, Kris, Anna, Peter, and Sean, changing between their distorted individual perspectives. With each perspective, more answers are revealed as characters generally live longer and see more than the last. Time resets over and over, seeing the party through all their perspectives. Plans go wrong, romance blossoms unexpectedly, the body count rises, and the Killer’s identity and motives are revealed. The subversive final perspective hilariously pays off everything set up in the previous ones.
