Join us in October (three Tuesdays and a Friday!) for our new film series: It's a John Carpenter Thing: Four Films by the Master of Horror.
It's a John Carpenter Thing: where safety is an illusion and horror creeps across the lines meant to protect us. Fog creeps into locked homes, cars turn on their drivers, the people you're closest to may not be human, and the suburbs can't keep out the boogeyman.
Over the course of four of his early films, director John Carpenter reminds us that every boundary can be broken, and no barrier can hold back the nightmares forever.
October 7: The Fog
A coastal town's centennial celebration turns deadly when a ghostly mist brings the dead back to shore. Carpenter reminds us that history is never buried, and that the veil that hides the past is easily lifted.
