Event Details
Hal Holbrook, who appears in one of the film's five chilling segments, is a Denison University alumnus commemorated in bronze on a park bench right outside our front doors!
By July, Summerween will be in full swing, and Creepshow was born for it. Directed by George Romero from a screenplay by Stephen King, it is a love letter to the EC horror comics of their childhoods. Five stories. Equal parts terrifying and hilarious. Noted as "the most fun you will ever have being scared." This is a can't miss cult classic.
Pro Tip: Before you head inside, take a moment to say hello to Hal, sit on the bench and snap a photo!
As an Official Venue for Ohio Goes to the Movies™, The Midland Theatre is proud to present this screening FREE as part of the statewide celebration of Ohio's contributions to American filmmaking in honor of the United States' 250th anniversary.
