What better place to begin our film series than with a film that created an entire horror genre? Join us February 25th for “Night of the Living Dead“, the George Romero opus that launched the idea of zombies as corpses that hunger for living flesh. Still terrifying and brutal more than 50 years after it was released, this movie will leave you checking the entry points of your home, just in case. They‘re coming to get you, Barbara.

What to Expect

The Haunted Basement is a basement, it's deliciously moist. Expect strong smells, physical contact, and projectile liquids. You may get very messy, you may have to crawl, and you may find yourself in a confined space with something horrible.

What to Wear

The Haunted Basement is a great place to take a date. However, it is a bad idea to show up in nice clothes. They will get dirty. Make sure your shoes are closed toed. Don't wear heels.

What to Bring

Make sure you bring a valid ID. Leave your bags at home, if you don't need it, don't bring it. Also bring a good attitude, prepare to scream, laugh, and for your skin to crawl.
