Haus of Horror Presents: 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' in Stink-O-Vision

Overview

UPDATE, August 18, 2023: This screening is no longer showing at Roseville Cinemas, aka Sydney's oldest cinema, playing at The Reservoir Cinema in Surry Hills instead. This article has been updated to reflect that change.

They're the world's most fearsome fighting team, or so the catchy theme tune goes, and they're heading back to the big screen. There's always a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in the works of late, or so it seems — a couple of new flicks released back in 2014 and 2016, and a new animated flick is on its way in 2023 — but seeing the 1990 live-action film in a cinema is a rare treat.

Mark 7pm and 9.15pm on Saturday, August 19 in your diary, Sydneysiders. This isn't any old screening, though. Haus of Horror is behind it, after showing horror movies at Parramatta Gaol and Camperdown Cemetery earlier this year. This time, The Reservoir Cinema in Surry Hills is the setting.

Because the next Haus of Horror season won't begin until the weather gets warmer, the horror event fiends are heading indoors, going green and showing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in stink-o-vision. Yes, you'll receive scratch 'n' sniff cards, which you'll use to emit appropriate scents as you watch.

Already thinking about pizza, as TMNT always inspires? You'll be able to smell it during the session as you watch Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael (and Sam Rockwell in a blink-or-you'll-miss-it part).

Also, there'll be pizzas to purchase, a bar serving drinks, pre-film trivia testing your Turtles knowledge and a photo booth.

Tickets start at $35, or cost $57 with a pepperoni ooze pizza and $60 with a vegan version.
