Join us for an original musical celebration of the cinematic chiller thrillers of yesteryear, just in time for Halloween!  Kids will guide the audience in a journey back in time to 1961, when a double feature cost only a quarter, and classic movie characters like Dracula, The Mummy, Godzilla, and King Kong appeared on the silver screen.  There will be buzzing surprises, fun frights, and sheer delights for all!

Saturday, October 26th, 10am

$10 adults, $5 kids
