Halloween 2018 Movie Program

Overview

Two days. Five movies. Many, many bumps, jumps, frights, spooks and scares. That's Kristian Fletcher's Halloween 2018 Movie Program, with the cult movie buff once again honouring the most unsettling time of the year.

Plenty of horror classics are covered, dating from the 1920s through to the 1980s. Indeed, they're the two decades that will be in the spotlight at Metro Arts' Lumen Room on Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27. Tickets start at $13.50 — and you can opt to see an entire day or night's worth, or just a single movie.

If you're after a couple of particularly old school flicks, Fletcher's Roaring Twenties Cinema program will screen The Cabinet of Dr Caligari andThe Cottage on Dartmoor from 7.30pm on Friday, October 26, both with live piano accompaniment. Then it's 80s time on Saturday, October 27, thanks to The Lost Boys, the original Poltergeist and vampire effort The Hunger starring David Bowie. Plus, you can decide whether to make a day or night of it, thanks to sessions of The Lost Boys at 2.45pm to get things started or at 8.15pm to finish up.
