The Amusement Park + Night Of The Living Dead (George A. Romero Double Feature)

About the Show

THE AMUSEMENT PARK + NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD

Double feature! One ticket admits you to both!

Thought lost for more than 40 years, THE AMUSEMENT PARK is a surreal, nightmarish descent into the quiet horrors of aging in America.

Following an elderly man who arrives at a seemingly cheerful amusement park, only to find himself trapped in a disorienting landscape of indifference, humiliation, and cruelty. Originally commissioned as a public service film about elder abuse, Romero transforms the premise into a bleak allegory using fractured editing, repetition, and carnival grotesquerie to expose the fear and marginalization faced by the elderly.

PLUS!

Shot outside of Pittsburgh at a fraction of the cost of a Hollywood feature by a band of filmmakers determined to make their mark, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is one of the great stories of independent cinema: a midnight hit turned box-office smash that became one of the most influential films of all time. A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of flesh-eating ghouls newly arisen from their graves, Romero’s claustrophobic vision of a late-sixties America (literally) tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in the lead role.

Doors open fifteen minutes before showtime.
