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.

“The Public Enemy” @ 7th Street Theatre
Sep 5 @ 7:30 pm
"The Public Enemy" @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

James Cagney broke through to stardom in the lead role of tough guy Tom Powers in the 1931 drama. Jean Harlow provided what we now call eye candy as Cagney’s girl friend. The film has become famous for including an iconic scene of Cagney mashing a grapefruit into the face of actress Mae Clarke, in an uncredited role. The players insisted that the scene was improvised as a joke on the film crew, but the director liked it so much it made the final cut.
