Step into the tormented world of Carrie White in Brian De Palma’s iconic 1976 adaptation of Stephen King’s first novel, CARRIE.
With a legendary performance by Sissy Spacek, the film follows a shy, isolated high school girl raised by her fanatically religious mother. When a cruel prank at prom pushes her beyond her breaking point, Carrie unleashes a terrifying telekinetic fury etched into horror history.
CARRIE explores themes of bullying and the devastating consequences of social cruelty. Whether you’re revisiting this classic or seeing it for the first time, CARRIE remains as gripping and emotionally raw as ever.
Newly added! Catch Fleischer Cartoon‘s Koko Haunted House (1928) before the feature!
Guests are encouraged to arrive in their finest (or eeriest) prom attire, vintage 1970s glamour, blood-soaked chic, or your own haunted high school look. Be sure to view our costume guidelines.

From the deep, dark recesses of the mind of Mel Brooks, we bring you YOUNG FRANKESTEIN, a monstrously funny homage to the classic horror films of the 1930s.
Gene Wilder stars as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (“It’s pronounced Fronkensteen!”), a brilliant young scientist who inherits his grandfather’s spooky castle in Transylvania and accidentally discovers the formula to bringing the dead back to life!
With the help of his wide-eyed assistant Igor (“That’s EYE-gor!”), cheerful lab assistant Inga, and mysterious housekeeper Frau Blücher (cue the horse whinny), Dr. Frankenstein creates a scary but lovable monster played by none other than Peter Boyle. From secret passages and talking brains to musical numbers like “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” this black-and-white spoof of old monster movies is packed with iconic moments, rapid-fire wordplay, and affectionate satire.
Also starring Madaline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, and Cloris Leachman, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is a perfect afternoon treat for classic film lovers and comedy fans alike!
Newly added! Catch Fleischer Cartoon‘s Betty Boop’s Hallowe’en Party (1933) before the feature!
Costumes are encouraged; family-friendly monsters, mad scientists, or vintage Hollywood ghouls are all welcome. Be sure to check our costume guidelines below.
