A  FREE SCARY MOVIE SERIES
 

We at The Orpheum love live theatre, but we also appreciate a good film!  With Halloween just around the corner, these classic horror films are sure to put us all in the spooky spirit. We are so excited to once again be doing our Orpheum After Dark Fright Film Fest! Come by the Orpheum Theatre every Friday of October at 8pm to enjoy some FREE scary movies!
Thank you to the Flacco-Nesselroad Family for sponsoring these movies! Without the generous support of sponsors like you, we could not continue to bring these movies to The Orpheum free of charge.

The movies in these series may not be appropriate for all ages so viewer beware.
