Outdoor movies are back at the Senate Coney Lot this summer! Just like last year admission is free, concessions and bathrooms inside the theater are open, and you’ll have to be sure to bring your own chair.

Also like last year, we’re going to play the mother of all zombie flicks, Night of the Living Dead. It's a movie, much like an ambling, undead monster out for brains, that will never get old. For zombies, that’s because, well, they’re ambling, undead monsters. But for the film, a timeless bit of cinematic history, it’s because of a tense script and iconic and boundary smashing imagery.

Most horror flicks have tended to lose their terrifying luster as the genre pushes ever onward into the realm of guts and gore, but Night of the Living Dead remains a frightening experience that will make you wonder if they really are, “coming to get you” whether your name is Barbara or not.
