Happy Labor Day guys! I know not everyone got to have a long weekend, but I hope you guys all got to check out some movies anyway. There are plenty of titles that are still in theatres...
This week, we have a pretty cool lineup in the bay area, and we're getting a lot of fantasy crossover in our horror. And that's not a bad thing, if you ask me. This Tuesday kicks off the month long theme of Terror Twos-days at the Alamo Drafthouse, Hitchcock weekends continue at the Balboa Theatre, and there will be spatterings of cool double features throughout the week. Read on for dates and times!
