Of course, we wouldn't leave you out in the rain, dear guests. Any outdoor queues will be protected and covered, and we'll be letting attendees into the house early at our Uptown shows. New Orleans is a sub-tropic city - we must celebrate horror rain or shine!

The slasher renaissance continues with CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, a highly satisfying endeavor that doesn’t skimp on laughs or refreshingly graphic kills. Like director Eli Craig’s TUCKER & DALE VS EVIL, I suspect a high rewatch value.

Our Centerpiece Film The Ugly Stepsister is not for the faint of heart OR stomach - but that didn’t stop audiences from turning out in force to see this twisted fairytale from director Emilie Blichfeldt.
