BEWARE: Frights and world-class cinema lay ahead!! Our month is stocked with scares and stars alike, with equally robust theatrical and events slate.
October, theatrically is bookended by two of the year's most anticipated titles. Tony, the Anthony Bourdain biopic by Matt Johnson opens on the 2nd! Opening October 30th is Primetime, the 3rd of leg star Robert Pattinson’s world-conquering four-film 2026. Pattinson portrays TV’s Chris Hansen in Auteur-Documentarian Lance Oppenheim's narrative feature debut.
Also opening for us are two fantastic french features. Recently having opened at Cinefest Sudbury International Film Festival and starring Louis Garrel, the coming-of-age dramedy Juste une illusion begins its run on the 8th. And Black Zombie, the anticipated Canadian doc unearthing the deep roots of Zombie fiction and its connection with Haitian slavery.
Thanksgiving weekend, while you’re preparing an excellent meal, get some peace and quiet by sending your relatives our way! Saturday, the first of two Halloween Cereal Cartoon Party (October 10th and 24th), features 70s/80s/90s cartoons and an all you can eat cereal bar. That night the Addams Family arrives in style at the Indie with the 1993 classic Addams Family Values. Abya Yala Latin American Film Festival presented by Frames and Frequencies Artist Collective returns for its 2nd edition with three days of screenings, Q&As, dance, community events and more!
Back by popular demand, we’ve got a 6-show encore run of Teenage S*x & Death at Camp Miasma. Mooncrater Theatre is back for 3 shows with the world’s greatest shadowcast of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And finally, cancel your plans because you’re not going to want to miss the special October 31st screening of John Carpenter’s 1978 Halloween!!
