The Colonial will be screening three upcoming films on 16mm in The White Rabbit Theatre. This is an incredible opportunity to witness a long-dead format brought back to life. We hope that you will join us for one, if not all three, of these cinematic experiences.
Join us in celebrating the 75th anniversary of the film!
Poet, romantic and sword fighter Cyrano de Bergerac (Jose Ferrer) loves the beautiful Roxane (Mala Powers), but although he is proud enough of his bulbous proboscis that he regularly duels those who dare mock it, he fears she could never love a man with such an enormous nose. When he learns that she loves the handsome guardsman Christian (William Prince), Cyrano provides the tongue-tied young man with the words of love and devotion he wishes he could say to Roxanne himself. Ferrer would receive the Academy Award for his performance. Sunday, Sept. 28th.
DETAILS
This is one to watch with an audience in October!
A disparate group of individuals takes refuge in an abandoned house when corpses begin to leave the graveyard in search of fresh human bodies to devour. The pragmatic Ben does his best to control the situation, but when the re-animated bodies surround the house, the other survivors begin to panic. As any semblance of order within the group begins to dissipate, the zombies start to find ways inside. One by one, the living humans become the prey of the deceased ones. Wednesday, October 1st.

A true October treat with a scene-stealing Bela Lugosi as Igor.
Baron Wolf von Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone) is determined to prove the legitimacy of his father’s scientific work, thus rescuing the family name from disgrace. With the help of Ygor (Bela Lugosi), a grave robber, Wolf successfully reanimates the monster (Boris Karloff) his father originally brought back from the dead. But when several villagers are killed mysteriously, Wolf must find the culprit in order to vindicate his creation, or face the possibility that he may be responsible. Wednesday, October 8th.

Black Friday won’t get darker than this.
Exhumed Films and the Colonial Theatre invite you to close out your Thanksgiving weekend with a feast of frights! On Friday, November 28, join us for a special 16mm screening of CREEPSHOW 2 (1987), the blood-soaked follow-up to George A. Romero and Stephen King’s original horror anthology. Packed with gruesome tales of revenge, monsters, and mayhem—from the murderous wooden warrior of “Old Chief Wood’nhead,” to the flesh-melting terror of “The Raft,” to the black-comic nightmare of “The Hitchhiker”—this rare celluloid presentation brings the comic-book carnage back to the big screen where it belongs! You’ll thank us for the ride!
Screening with a pre-show of 16mm horror TV spots!
