A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place: Part II
About The Movies: If they hear you, they hunt you. A family must live in silence to avoid mysterious creatures that hunt by sound.

Rating: PG-13

Beetlejuice
About The Movie: After Barbara and Adam Maitland die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck haunting their country residence, unable to leave the house.

Their efforts attract Beetlejuice, a rambunctious spirit whose "help" quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia.
Rating: PG

Scream
About The Movie: Wes Craven re-invented and revitalized the slasher-horror genre with this modern horror classic, which manages to be funny, clever and scary, as a fright-masked knife maniac stalks high-school students in middle-class suburbia. Craven is happy to provide both tension and self-parody as the body count mounts - but the victims aren't always the ones you'd expect.
Rating: R
Why We’re Watching: The Scream franchise has continued to expand since the first movie was released in 1996, now encompassing five films, a TV series, games, and merchandise - with another film on the way. Start exploring the franchise this Halloween season in time for the next installment in 2023!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show
About The Movie: In this cult classic, sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named "Rocky."
Rating: R
Why We’re Watching: The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a must-watch movie this season.
