Let’s all do our part to beat this thing so we can go back to the complete movie going experience!
What better way to hit our stride mid-October than with two totally singular auteur driven horror movies.
First up is Dario Argento's beloved immortal witch's coven in a woman's ballet school SUSPIRIA. We'll skip the "Is it a giallo or not?" conversation and get right to the irrefutable truth: it's awesome. It's one of the greatest most stylized horror movies ever made. The colors and Goblin score music and all-out awesome late 70's vibe will melt your face off your face. So just come and experience it in a movie palace.
We then follow that up with Clive Barker's very first Hellraiser from 1987. Barker, both as a novelist and then as a moviemaker, has a very singular and peculiar ability to delve, better than almost any other horror moviemaker, into questions of the unsettling crossroads of sexuality, pleasure, pain, beauty, horror, identity.
More than anyone else, Barker has pinpointed (forgive the pun) the strange paradox of how horror and enjoyment are inextricably connected.
Hellraiser tells the story of a mysterious box that delivers a horrific fates when the puzzles are solved and release the "Cenobites"-Lovecraftian creatures who can't distinguish pain and pleasure-into our world.
So join us for two mind-bending wild rides into the darker recesses of imagination, horror, fantasy, subconscious.
Best always,

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR OUR IN-DOOR THEATER SCREENINGS
REFUNDS:
We can offer refunds up to 24 hours before showtime. Please request a refund through Eventbrite and we will process ASAP. After that, no refunds. Sorry.
However if something last minute comes up and you can’t make the screening, for whatever reason, just write us at: community@secretmovieclub.com and we’ll offer you complimentary tickets to a future screening.
WHY ARE THE TICKET PRICES HIGHER THAN NORMAL?
In order for us to re-open, maintain health protocols (which includes operating at only 50% capacity), and screen movies on 35MM, we need to temporarily raise our ticket prices. We apologize.
However, if you could look at this as partially helping Secret Movie Club re-open indoor theaters and 35MM film screening, we would be eternally grateful.
As we can increase capacity, we will IMMEDIATELY LOWER ticket prices.
If you could look at this as all of us being in this together, we WILL remember your kindness.
HELPFUL MILLION DOLLAR THEATER MOVIE PALACE PARKING TIPS:
If you are attending all movies on any given day (the double or triple feature), you can go to ADD ONS and pre-order an all day $6 Grand Central Parking Lot Pass. The Grand Central Parking Lot is at the corner of 3rd Street and Hill Street just 1 block from the Million Dollar Theater entrance on 3rd & Broadway.
Folks just attending one feature can also park at this lot and as long as you grab food/drink from GCM you can get a 90 minute validation stamp that will help the cost of parking.
HOW WILL OUR STAFF MAKE SURE THE THEATER IS AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE:
We will have staff in the theater (on both the ground and balcony levels) at all times who make sure everyone is wearing masks and obeying protocols. We will have signage at entrance, markings at concessions, restrooms, etc so folks keep 6 ft distance at all times.
Anyone not observing safe protocols will kindly be asked to leave. On top of this, we’ll be making announcements at the head of each screening to make sure everyone understands the rules & regs!
