More from the Admiral Theater:

Night of the Living Dead: It’s rare when a movie transcends pop culture’s usual 15 minutes of fame and becomes a time-tested classic. It’s rarer still when the movie is a low-budget, black and white independent feature produced so far off Hollywood’s radar that it didn’t receive national distribution. What this particular little movie had going for it was a fresh, talented director and the public’s hitherto undiscovered phobia about and fascination with flesh eating zombies!

Filmed in 1967 by then fledgling director George A. Romero, Night of the Living Dead is a film that while raw in some of its production, was and is spot-on in evoking the most dreadful and deep-seeded of frights. It redefined a lackluster monster and gave rise to both a new genre in horror and a new image in the public consciousness. There’s no denying it, Night of the Living Dead is THE archetypal zombie film.

The story is simple; a group of strangers take refuge in an isolated Pennsylvania farmhouse from the re-animated dead, mindless and hungry for human flesh. Mmmmm, that’s good eatin’! Watch the trailer here.

On Tuesday, October 30, John Carpenter’s immortal classic, the original genre-defining horror masterpiece “Halloween“, graces the our big screen once again. This nationwide release is the widest the film has seen since originally shocking audiences in ’78, and will be presented in a striking new HD transfer and 5.1 audio. Michael Myers has spent the last 15 years locked away inside a sanitarium under the care of child psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis.

On October 30, 1978, Myers escapes and makes his way back home to Haddonfield, Illinois, turning a night of tricks and treats into something much more sinister for three young women. Dr. Loomis is their only hope, but will he find his shadow-dwelling patient in time? Screenvision’s presentation of Halloween will include an exclusive documentary short written and directed by Fangoria’s Justin Beahm, “You Can’t Kill The Bogeyman: 35 Years of Halloween,” focusing on the undeniable impact the film, and series, has had on culture and the genre.

Keep your lights on and watch the trailer here.
