⏰ Doors open at 6:30 pm | Movies start at 7:00 pm
🍿 Admission is FREE | Donations are welcome

This October, we’re turning down the lights and bringing some classic black-and-white scares to Medalta!

Join us for Thursday Fright Nights, a three-week series of vintage horror movies shown inside one of Medicine Hat’s most unique historic spaces. Each Thursday leading up to Halloween, we’ll be screening a different cult classic.

Come for one movie or make a tradition of all three!

🎬 October 15: The Little Shop of Horrors (1960)

A strange little flower shop, an even stranger plant, and a young florist who gets himself into increasingly ridiculous trouble.

This low-budget horror comedy became a cult favourite thanks to its dark humour, bizarre premise, and a very early appearance by Jack Nicholson.

 

 

🏚️ October 22: House on Haunted Hill (1959)

A millionaire invites a group of strangers to spend the night in a supposedly haunted house, with a cash prize waiting for anyone who makes it until morning.

Starring horror legend Vincent Price, House on Haunted Hill has everything you want from a classic spooky movie night: creaky doors, skeletons, suspicious guests and plenty of dramatic twists.

 

🧟 October 29: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

We’re finishing the series just before Halloween with one of the most influential horror films ever made.

When the dead suddenly begin returning to life, a group of strangers takes shelter inside an isolated farmhouse and tries to survive the night.

Dark, tense and groundbreaking for its time, Night of the Living Dead helped shape the zombie movie genre as we know it today.

 

Come dressed for the occasion!

Costumes are absolutely encouraged, so feel free to lean into the Halloween spirit.

We’ll also have popcorn, pop and water available for purchase during the evening.

These movie nights are geared toward teens, young adults and adults, and some films contain violence, frightening imagery and themes that may not be suitable for younger viewers.

👻 Admission is free, with donations gratefully accepted.

Grab a friend, pick your favourite classic horror movie, and spend a few spooky Thursday nights with us @ Medalta this October.
