Hoquiam’s Hot August Frights returns to the 7th Street Theatre for its 4th year.
Join hundreds of other horror fans for 12 straight hours of films and festivities in a historic theatre.
Noon: Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome – Filmed in 1947 and starring Boris Karloff, the film is billed as “Horror Man Traps Super-Sleuth”!
1:30 p.m.: Vampyr – One of the ORIGINAL Dracula films and shot in 1932 Germany, the movie was praised for its disorienting visual effects.
3:00 p.m.: House of Whipcord – The movie starts with the credit: “This film is dedicated to those who are disturbed by today’s ax moral codes and who eagerly await the return of corporal and capital punishment.” Do you really need more?
5:00 p.m.: Freaks – If you liked American Horror Story: Freakshow, see the likely inspiration! “One of us! One of us!”
6:30 p.m.: Creature from the Haunted Sea – Our “Dinner Movie” for fans of seafood and death! Sponsored by Seaweed in Ocean Shores.
8:00 p.m.: Body in the Web – Who needs Lavalantula when you have plane crash survivors trapped on a remote island infested with spiders. Obviously when bitten, they turn INTO spiders.
9:30 p.m.: How to Survive a Zombie Attack – Back by popular demand!
10:30 p.m.: The Tingler – With a name like “The Tingler”, you should already be on board. The fact that it stars Vincent Price is just icing on the cake!
Tickets are available at the door for individual movies, or for the whole day! $5 for any single movie, but for $15 you can come and go as you please throughout the day or let your body go numb from all 12 hours of horror with diehard fans.
As a special treat, after the movies there may be low light tours of the deepest, darkest holes of the historic theatre available by request.
Sponsored by Seaweed in Ocean Shores, Sgt. MF Brand’s BBQ, and the Historic 7th Street Theatre.

A wildly entertaining creative collaboration between TV’s “Opie Taylor” and Obi- Wan’s creator, “Willow” is the next big-screen offering at the historic 7th Street Theatre in downtown Hoquiam, on Friday and Saturday, September 18 and 19, at 7:30 pm.
The 1988 movie starts with a story by “Star Wars” godfather George Lucas about a baby destined to defeat an evil queen, and the rag-tag band of unlikely (and frequently hilarious) heroes — dwarf, swordsman, sorceress and bumbling brownies — who take up her quest. The tale comes to life through the directorial vision of Ron Howard, “Opie” from the 1960s “Andy Griffith Show” and eventual Best Director and Best Picture Oscar winner for “A Beautiful Mind” in 2002.
Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley head the cast, with the dwarf Willow played by then 18-year-old Warwick Davis, who went on to appear in several “Harry Potter“ films as well as way too many “Leprechaun” horror flicks.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen and at online at brownpapertickets.com.
The temperature is cooling, leaves are changing colors, pumpkin spice is in the air and it’s time to celebrate fall!
Join us for a family day of Trail Races, an Artists Market, Boy Scout cooking demonstrations, Kids Activities, a Pancake Breakfast, live music, Food Vendors, Historical Talk and more for the Discover Lake Sylvia Fall Festival at Lake Sylvia State Park in Montesano, WA.
