Join us for Book + Film Club! Each month, we will read a book related to the craft of filmmaking or a literary work that has been adapted to a film. At the end of the month we will meet to watch a related film and then discuss!
In our October 2023 session we are discovering the creepiest, weirdest, and most dangerous kids ever to inhabit the cinematic landscape with the book Evil Seeds. We'll dive deep with some of cinema's scariest kids, the Children of the Corn.
Book: Evil Seeds: The Ultimate Movie Guide to Villainous Children by Vanessa Morgan
- "Featuring any movie you can think of from the start of the genre to today, and from nearly every continent, Evil Seeds covers its topic well—and leaves you wanting to watch these evil children for yourself." - Miranda Burski
Film: Children of the Corn(1984, dir. Fritz Kiersch)
- ""The experience is certainly far more “spooky” than “scary”, with the flick often feeling more like a cheesy 50s picture than something from the mid-80s, but these trashy elements grow on you after a while. The film is also a rare example of daylight horror that doesn’t rely on extreme gore in order to be creepy, preferring to deal in subtle scares and plenty of atmosphere rather than diving into what could easily have turned into a child-centric slasher flick." Bloody Disgusting
October MAILING Registration Deadline: Friday October 6. Books will be mailed within 72 hours of this date.
October PICK UP Registration Deadline: Monday October 16. Pick up from our box office during our operating hours of 2pm-10pm Thursday - Sunday. (You will receive an email when your book is ready to be picked up.)
Register by the first Friday of the month to have your books mailed to you. If you sign up after the deadline, don’t sweat it! You’ll just have to pick up your book from the cinema box office.
Private screening and discussion will take place at Sidewalk Cinema October 25th at 7 PM.
