Greetings!

Looking for the purrrrfect way to kick off Spooky Season? Well, old sport you have come to the right place!

TONIGHT!

We have partnered with our friends from The Hiway Theater and Girls Like Horror to present the horror classic, Pet Semetary on 35mm. Tickets available here. 

Before the flick! join us next door at Human Robot to mix and mingle. From 8-9:30pm meet new horror loving fans, shop sick horror reads from Capricorn Bookshop, enter our raffle of amazing prizes, & participate in fun activities and crafts, and a Stephen King matching game! The mixer is free and open to all!

At 9:30PM we head over to The Hiway theater for a pitch-perfect and truly unsettling adaptation of the Stephen King novel, PET SEMATARY! After a tragedy strikes, a grieving father discovers a burial site in his backyard that can bring the dead back to life. The only caveat is that whoever goes into the ground doesn’t come back the same.

Director Mary Lambert, known for her groundbreaking music video work with Madonna and Janet Jackson, brings a stylish and slightly campy take to King’s horrific meditation on grief. Rated R. SHOW UP EARLY! The first 50 people to attend this special presentation of Horror at the Hiway on Friday, August 29th will receive a free mini poster by Monster Comics! Secure your tickets here 

Our friendly MovieJawn staff is pleased as punch to help you find your next favorite motion picture playing now at a movie palace near you!
