Showtime: 9:00 PM, tickets: $12.
CHRISTINE (1983)
Geeky student Arnie Cunningham falls for Christine, a rusty 1958 Plymouth Fury, and becomes obsessed with restoring the classic automobile to her former glory. As the car changes, so does Arnie, whose newfound confidence turns to arrogance behind the wheel of his exotic beauty. Arnie’s girlfriend Leigh and best friend Dennis reach out to him, only to be met by a Fury like no other.
"If the '80s were partially defined by revenge-of-the-nerd narratives, Christine is more about the horror of the geek-id unleashed." - The Ringer
"This is the kind of movie where you walk out with a silly grin, get in your car, and lay rubber halfway down the Eisenhower." - Roger Ebert
THE BLOB (1988)
Remake of the 1958 horror sci-fi about a deadly blob which is the spawn of a secret government germ warfare project which consumes everyone in its path. Teenagers try in vain to warn the townsfolk, who refuse to take them seriously, while government agents try to cover up the evidence and confine the creature.
"Stunning practical effects work, a great story with great characters, and a huge sense of fun, it's a shame that The Blob doesn't have as big of a following as it should have." - Bloody Disgusting
"An underrated and gory gem, The Blob deserves its place among '80s horror films to be remembered, and to slide back onto screens decades later after it originally crash landed into theaters." - Birth.Movies.Death.
