NIGHT LIGHT, Cinema Salem
NIGHT LIGHT
A GOOD MOVIE CAN MAKE YOUR DAY. A GREAT ONE CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE.
What makes a film “cult?” Is it a lost masterpiece? A “so bad it’s good” camp treasure? Or, like the haunted VHS tape in THE RING, is it a dark, dark door that should have never been opened?
Cinema Salem brings you entries from the cult canon and new nuggets of negative energy, ready to be unearthed.
While Salem sleeps, we keep the light burning.
All shows are Friday night, 10 pm
