In the cult classic The Craft, a powerful coven is formed when a new girl in town befriends three other misfits with supernatural tendencies. But it becomes good witch v bad witch when some of those in the group start to use their powers for revenge and their own personal gain. Self-centered, vengeful, and vain, these teens with special powers are a heightened version of the typical high school girl flick. Only in this case there’s levitation, love spells, and Manon. Teenage witches in the 1990s, gotta love ’em.
Starring: Duane Jones, Judith O’Dea, Karl Hardman, Judith Ridley, Keith Wayne, Marilyn Eastman
NOTE: This is a live music event creating a new film score for Night of the Living Dead. The original dialogue will be included!
What can be said about George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead? Not only did it give birth to the modern notion of what a “zombie” is and provided a socio-political context in which we can view the zombie (and horror film as a genre) but it is also one of the most important films of the 20th century. A true case of underground filmmaking capturing the current climate, Night of the Living Dead shows what happens when seven strangers wind up in a barnhouse during the beginning of the zombie apocalypse. And while the dead are rising, it’s the alive ones they really have to worry about.
Starring: Marilyn Chambers, Frank Moore, Joe Silver
After a brutal motorcycle accident, a young woman gets rushed to the hospital where she undergoes an experimental treatment to heal her wounds. The treatment works — kind of. While the woman’s scars may have healed, the treatment turns her into a blood-sucking fiend who passes on her rabid thirst for blood to all of her victims. Before long, the outbreak spreads throughout all of Montreal, spinning the entire city into chaos.
An early film from body horror maestro David Cronenberg, Rabid stars Marilyn Chambers in her first mainstream film outside of porn. Chambers plays the infected young woman at the heart of the pandemic, and spreads the disease through a stinger hidden in her armpit. Sounds like a Cronenberg movie all right.
The true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core.

Led by editor Walter “Robby” Robinson, reporters Michael Rezendes (Mark Ruffalo), Matt Carroll and Sacha Pfeiffer interview victims and try to unseal sensitive documents. The reporters make it their mission to provide proof of a cover-up of sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church.
