Some movies are great. Some movies are free. And some movies were basically made for us.

Stephen King wrote it. George Romero directed it. And Hal Holbrook — who delivers one of the film's most chilling performances in the segment "The Crate" — is a Denison University alum who performed as Mark Twain on this very stage.

This is Ohio Goes to the Movies™ at its most perfect: a legendary horror film, a genuine local connection, and not a single dollar required to see it. Ohio Goes to the Movies™ exists because great cinema belongs to everyone in Licking County and across central Ohio — not just the people who can afford a night out. This is that mission in action. Pack the house. Bring your friends. Bring the neighbors. Bring anyone who's ever loved a good scare and a great story.
Five tales of terror. Zero excuses. One unforgettable night at the Midland.
