Classic Film Series
100-year-old movie palaces are bound to have a few hauntings over the years, and the Paramount Theatre has certainly had its fair share of ghost stories. Maybe that’s why we get so many requests to screen horror films in October.
We’re thrilled to announce that, this year, we are honoring those requests in a big way, partnering with our friends at Hyperreal Film Club to bring exclusive nights of horror—including special guests Robert Rodriguez and THE STRANGERS director Bryan Bertino—for those of us who count Halloween as our favorite time of year.
Thank You to Our Event Partner
