Night of the Living Dead
George A. Romero's seminal film is not only a DIY masterpiece that transcends genre, it's one of the most important films ever made.
Released in 1968, its themes and ubiquity has woven itself into the very fabric America's DNA. The film depicts a Black man in the hero role, unheard of for a moment in time where the country was literally tearing itself apart over racial tensions, uprisings, and political fatigue.
In ways both deliberate and unintentional, Romero's Living Dead struck at the very heart of the nation's anxieties, giving birth to a brand new monster and a genre within and upon itself.
If you've seen it a dozen times, or none at all, Night of the Living Dead is required viewing for every cinephile citizen.
* This screening is in partnership with the annual Zombiewalk taking place on Saturday, October 7, 11am at Salem Common. Free passes available to those who dress up and participate.
** Special $8 tickets for Essex County residents with proof of address.

Donnie Darko
Night Light presents a series of classic and contemporary cult films from around the world on the second and fourth Friday of every month.
“A haunted miasma of youthful alienation, suburban malaise, cosmic upheaval, and 1980s pop-cultural infatuation.”
—Justin Chang, L.A. Times
Before STRANGER THINGS combined science fiction, Spielberg-ian thrills, and 1980s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the high-water mark with DONNIE DARKO. Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find its audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium. Described by its director as "THE CATCHER IN THE RYE as told by Philip K. Dick," DONNIE DARKO stars Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross, and Noah Wyle.
2001. USA.
