Pick Your Poison: Movie Scare-athon

Friday, October 30 at Dairy Arts Center, Boulder

Dairy Arts Center · Central Boulder 35-40

About this event

PICK YOUR POISON: A CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE MOVIE SCARE-ATHON What kind of scary movie do you want to watch? A cult classic with a crowd? A gloriously weird film you’ve never heard of? Or a silent film playing in the lobby while a musician gives it a whole new soundtrack? On October 30, you make the call. Pick Your Poison turns the Dairy Arts Center into a cinematic playground for one wildly unpredictable night. The Gordon Gamm Theater is home to the big titles and crowd-pleasers. The Boedecker Theater hosts all things strange, offbeat, and unexpected. And throughout the lobby, silent films and musical performances create a third cinematic experience you can stumble into anytime. Choose your own nightmare. Come with a plan. Come without one. Follow the crowd. Chase the obscure. Park yourself in one theater or spend the whole night wandering. Film lineup to be announced soon! All tickets include free popcorn throughout the duration of the event! Drinks and additional refreshments will be available for purchase.

What to expect

The Gordon Gamm Theater screens the bigger titles, and the Boedecker Theater, Boulder's year-round arthouse cinema, takes the stranger ones. The lineup is paired. The Bride of Frankenstein, Carrie and Obsession play in the Gordon. Demons 2, Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II and Slumber Party Massacre II play in the Boedecker. You can stay with one film or switch theaters partway through. Silent films and live music run in the lobby, and Moonshell Pizza Cooperative is on site.

Why go

The format makes it a night you can shape yourself. You can follow a crowd to a classic, chase something obscure, or wander between rooms. Costumes and cozy pajamas are welcome but not required. The Dairy is Boulder's multi-arts center, and it suits a Halloween movie crawl better than a standard multiplex.
