WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14 ~ When Marion Crane steals some money from her workplace and takes flight for California, she little realises the consequences of checking into the Bates Motel… One of Hitchcock’s greatest achievements, PSYCHO combines suspense, Gothic horror, dark humor and rich ironies to dazzling effect. Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins turn in pitch-perfect performances, while Bernard Herrmann’s score is memorably eloquent and atmospheric.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14 ~ At his secluded château in the French countryside, a brilliant, obsessive doctor (Pierre Brasseur) attempts a radical plastic surgery to restore the beauty of his daughter’s disfigured countenance—at a horrifying price. Eyes Without a Face, directed by the supremely talented Georges Franju, is rare in horror cinema for its odd mixture of the ghastly and the lyrical, and it has been a major influence on the genre in the decades since its release. There are images here—of terror, of gore, of inexplicable beauty—that once seen are never forgotten.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15 ~ For this domestic nightmare, Stanley Kubrick took a Stephen King best seller and infused it with his own demons and obsessions, creating a tour de force of dreamlike dread and disturbing ambiguity. Sequestered for the winter at the snowbound Overlook Hotel, a frustrated writer (Jack Nicholson), his increasingly fearful wife (Shelley Duvall), and their psychic son (Danny Lloyd) are plunged into a vortex of madness and violence—a psychosis that seems to emanate from the haunted, labyrinthine corridors of the building itself. Channeling historical trauma and contemporary anxieties about failed masculinity into images of surreal, subliminal power, Kubrick constructs a maelstrom of psychological terror that stands as one of the most endlessly analyzed horror films ever made.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 ~ All roads lead back to RINGU—the blockbuster Japanese horror movie that inspired a million nightmares (and ripoffs and remakes) with its phantasmic elegance.

As the mystery hits closer to home, Reiko joins forces with ex-husband/current-exorcist Takashi to destroy the curse. And (hopefully) survive an encounter with a ghost named Sadako. Directed by Hideo Nakata (DARK WATER), RINGU is the highest grossing Japanese horror movie in history that STILL manages to shred our nerves. 4K RESTORATION.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17 ~ When Ellen, the matriarch of the Graham family, passes away, her daughter’s family begins to unravel cryptic and increasingly terrifying secrets about their ancestry. The more they discover, the more they find themselves trying to outrun the sinister fate they seem to have inherited. Making his feature debut, writer-director Ari Aster unleashes a nightmare vision of a domestic breakdown that exhibits the craft and precision of a nascent auteur, transforming a familial tragedy into something ominous and deeply disquieting, and pushing the horror movie into chilling new terrain with its shattering portrait of heritage gone to hell.
