Bracing for Nightmare Cinema:
This Week & Beyond

This week, five strangers will enter an abandoned theater to watch their darkest fears play out before them. And you can join them.

It all kicks off this Thursday, June 20, when the cast and crew of Nightmare Cinema gather at the historic Hayworth Theatre (2511 Wilshire Blvd) for a special pre-release screening of  the movie that Entertainment Weekly calls “one of the best horror films of the year so far.” The limited number of advance tickets that were available to the public for the pre-release event sold out quickly, but you will be plenty of opportunities to catch the film as it opens in theatres across the country beginning on July 21.
