What’s your favorite scary movie?
It’s spooky season, and you know what that means! Time to watch some scary cinema! Our friends at Ayrsley Grand Cinemas have you covered! They are, once again, hosting their annual Retro Horror screenings. Each week, they show two different retro horror movies, one at 7:00pm and one at 9:00pm. Tickets for each of these screenings is only $5! They encourage you to order your tickets in advance as some screenings are sure to sell out!
Here is the line-up for Retro Horror 2024:

7:00pm Rosemary’s Baby – starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes and Ruth Gordon. Never trust your neighbors with your fertility problems.
9:00pm Possession – starring Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani. Divorce can bring out the worst in people.
October 11-17
7:00pm The Ring – starring Naomi Watts. It’s a good thing Blockbuster didn’t have this video tape on their shelves!
