𝑫𝑶 𝒀𝑶𝑼 𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫 𝑺𝑼𝑻𝑻𝑬𝑹 𝑪𝑨𝑵𝑬? The bestselling author whose newest novel is literally driving readers I̷N̷S̷A̷N̷E̷?🪓

Friday, October 23rd @ The Hall at Simonton Corner in Rockport, AD⚡CC celebrates Halloween and the late Sam Neill with John Carpenter's IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS!

When hugely popular King-like horror novelist Sutter Cane (Jurgen Prochnow, THE SEVENTH SIGN) inexplicably vanishes, his publisher (played by Charlton Heston) sends special investigator John Trent (Neill) and Cane's editor Linda Styles (Julie Carmen) to track him down. Drawn to a New England town previously thought only to exist in Cane's books, Trent crosses the barrier between fact and fiction and enters a terrifying world from which there is no escape...

Paying tribute to the works of author H.P. Lovecraft in its exploration of insanity, this shocking story is, in the words of its acclaimed director, "horror beyond description!"

Doors 6:30, showtime 7. Folding seating available, but bring whatever you're comfortable in/on (camping chairs, pillows, blankets — might get chilly!) Tell us you're 'a Hobb's End Horrorhound' for a free goodie bag while supplies last! Raffle deets to come! See ya soon! xo

**PLEASE NOTE NEW SHOWTIME IS 7:30** Midcoast Maine's own traveling DIY After Dark Cinema Club celebrates the 40th Anniversary of TRUE STORIES: A completely cool, multi-purpose movie!

Talking Heads' David Byrne trades in the big suit for a black Stetson to direct, co-write and star in this Byrne's-eye view of the town of Virgil, Texas as they celebrate the state's 150th.

Meet amiable, off-beat folk like Louis Fyne (John Goodman), the bachelor with the "WIFE WANTED" sign in his yard, the World's Laziest Woman Miss Rollings (Swoosie Kurtz), the happily married couple Earl (monologist Spalding Gray) & Kay Culver (Annie McEnroe, BEETLEJUICE) who NEVER speak directly to one another, and many more colorful participants in Virgil's celebration of *~Special-Ness~*, vividly shot by cinematographer Ed Lachman and featuring music performed by 🗣Talking Heads🗣, Tito Larriva and Pops Staples. Innovative, energetic, musical and funny — That's the truth of TRUE STORIES!

We're back, baby! Fully patron/user/club member-supported going forward (your donations will go directly toward future venue rentals and film licensing fees), tickets are a suggested donation of $5-10 with popcorn & goodies (buttons and band bracelets!) available, AND original mocktails provided by our wonderful hosts club moss in Nobleboro! DM for address. Limited seating available. Please bring a cushion or camping chair with you and meet us in the barn! So good to be back! See you soon!! xo
