Join us Tuesday, January 27th at 7:00 p.m. for a Stephen King adaptation that really “shines”!

Admission $8

About the film

Jack Torrance is a writer who’s looking to kill two birds with one stone: writing a novel and finding a temporary job that both pays well enough to provide for his family and gives him enough free time to ply his literary craft. He seemingly finds the perfect fit when he is hired to be the winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel. What initially appears to be a dream job for Torrance soon becomes a descent into madness as the dark history of the hotel reveals itself during one of the worst winters in recent memory.

While the film adaptation differs in some significant ways from the Stephen King story on which it is based, The Shining bears the mark of director Stanley Kubrick’s perfectionist approach to filmmaking and is replete with some of the most unforgettable imagery and acting performances in all of cinema history!

About the film

George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead) directs this wild horror film that’s served up in the form of an anthology, much like the classic E.C. horror comics of old that inspired it. Over the course of its six Stephen King-penned segments, we meet: A gruesome comic book character-come-to-life, spend time with an extended family with some serious skeletons in the closet, take some flights of fancy with a yokel whose dreams become all too real, watch a man exact revenge on his unfaithful girl and (undead) lover, see a high school janitor find out what’s inside a mysterious crate, watch an insect-hating germaphobe do battle with a host of cockroaches, and finally see how everything gets tied together.

With an ensemble cast that includes not only Stephen King and his son Joe, but also Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau (The Swamp Thing), Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, and Ed Harris, Creepshow is both a huge dose of King’s brilliance at weird storytelling and a prime example of 80’s horror!

About the film

Riding rollercoasters is supposed to be fun, right..? Not so for Castle Rock schoolteacher Johnny Smith: After a day at the amusement park, Smith drives home with a headache and has a nasty car accident that puts him in a coma. He wakes up to learn that not only have five years gone by, but he also now has the ability to psychically see into the past, present, and future of anyone he touches. It doesn’t take long before word of Johnny’s newfound gift spreads and he finds himself in unenviable positions as his ability turns out to be more of a (lethal) liability.

The Dead Zone is a taut sci-fi thriller from horror-suspense master David Cronenberg (Scanners, The Fly, The Shrouds) and stars a fantastic cast that includes Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, and Martin Sheen. It is regarded by many fans and critics to be one of the best adaptations of a Stephen King novel.

About the film

Meet Gordie, Chris, Teddy, and Vern: four young friends who embark on a journey of curiosity one summer in the 1950’s to go see the dead body of another local boy that lies somewhere in the woods beyond the town. They believe that, by discovering the body, they’ll be hailed as local heroes. Along the way, they share adventures, tell each other jokes, and chide one another the way that boys do in adolescence. When they finally reach their destination, however, the gang gets more than they bargained for — the dead body is tied somehow to a larger local crime, and “Ace”, the town outlaw, has also shown up to claim credit himself for finding the victim. This leads to a showdown that ultimately proves to be a rite of passage for the group of youngsters and a story none of them will ever forget.

Released in 1986 and directed by the late-great Rob Reiner, Stand By Me was one of the first films to demonstrate a different, less horror-centric side of Stephen King’s story-telling prowess. Still considered by many to be one of the best adaptations of King’s work, this classic coming-of-age film features breakout performances from young actors Kiefer Sutherland, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Wil Wheaton, and Jerry O’Connell – all of whom would later go on to have notable careers in film and television.
