Hobo with a Sh***un (2011) is a blood-soaked, grindhouse fever dream that gleefully drags you through the gutter and sets the whole damn street on fire. Rutger Hauer dishes out vigilante justice with enough brutality to make a butcher blush. Filthy, ferocious, and over-the-top, it’s a technicolor middle finger to good taste. Watch is this Saturday, 10/24 at 7PM. Tickets available online.

You asked for anime! Perfect Blue (1997) is a hypnotic psychological thriller that blurs the line between reality and delusion until you’re questioning everything you see. Satoshi Kon’s unsettling masterpiece dissects fame, obsession, and identity with razor-sharp animation and mounting paranoia. It’s a reminder that sometimes the scariest thing in the room is the person staring back at you. We’re screening it this Sunday, 10/18 at 3pm. Tickets available online.

The Screaming Skull (1958) is a delightful slice of B-movie horror, packed with eerie mansion vibes, suspicious husbands, and a skull that refuses to stay buried. This low-budget oddity is perfect for fans of vintage horror. Just don’t expect to die of fright—the film famously joked that it would pay for your funeral if you did. We’re screening The Screaming Skull this Saturday, 10/17, at 2PM.

The Guest (2014) is a slick, synth-soaked thriller that feels like an ’80s action movie dragged into a darker, bloodier reality. Dan Stevens is magnetic as a charming stranger whose arrival brings increasingly sinister consequences. Stylish, violent, and dripping with retro atmosphere, it’s a deliciously twisted ride. Watch it this Friday at 7PM. Tickets available online.

Baghead (2008) is a self-aware indie horror-comedy that turns filmmaking ambition, romantic jealousy, and awkward friendships into a creepy cabin-in-the-woods experiment. The Duplass brothers blend mumblecore relationship drama with slasher-movie paranoia, proving you don’t need a big budget to make things unsettling. Lo-fi, funny, and delightfully offbeat, it’s a love letter to DIY filmmaking with a sinister little twist.

Watch it this Thursday, 10/15 at 6:30PM. Tickets available online.
