Hot Fuzz
Sleepy Hollow
Saturday, November 2nd, we have a film playing at the historic Babcock Theatre that really cuts through the crowd! We will be having a special screening of Tim Burton’s 1999 autumnal chiller, SLEEPY HOLLOW, in celebration of the film’s 25th anniversary! This stylish and moody gothic tale is one of the ultimate November films out there, full of Burton’s familiar imagery and some top notch acting and scenery that help to add a majestic and almost playful flavor to this classic haunting tale of terror in colonial America! Skeptical young detective Ichabod Crane is sent to small village of Sleepy Hollow, New York, tasked with investigating the murders of three people, all found decapitated. While Crane tries to sniff out the culprit, the nervous townspeople attribute the murders to the legendary specter known as the Headless Horseman!
Shaun of the Dead
If there’s ever chaos in the streets, you are always welcome to come to the historic Babcock Theatre to grab a pint and wait for all of this to blow over… Speaking of which, we’ve got a very special event coming to the Babcock Friday, November 1st! This November, we will be screening one film in Edgar Wright’s famous Cornetto Trilogy each week, and we are starting off with the first film in the trilogy, the 2004 zombie comedy, SHAUN OF THE DEAD, in celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary! This film instantly became a modern contemporary cult classic upon release, full of Wright’s familiar dynamic cinematography, a humorous plot and witty cockney banter that added a refreshing twist to the zombie genre, and terrific acting and chemistry from Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and the rest of the cast! It’s a must see for any fan of the horror and/or comedy genre!
Shaun is a lazy and rather boring department store employee who lives a noticeably uneventful life involving his girlfriend, mother, best friend, and his local pub. Shortly after being dumped, it appears that the dead are inexplicably coming back to life as zombies and terrorizing London. Seeing the opportunity to prove himself, Shaun hatches a half-baked plan to rescue his girlfriend and hunker down at the local pub with their friends until the situation is resolved. What’s the worst that could happen?
