The Craft (1996) 30th Anniversary “WELCOME TO THE WITCHING HOUR. A Catholic school newcomer falls in with a clique of teen witches who wield their powers against all who dare to cross them – be they teachers, rivals or meddlesome parents.” [Letterboxd]

It’s not just something that happens to be playing on screen as you get seated, but a meticulously curated show before the main feature. Filled with all sorts of themed content from: cartoons & short films to trivia, behind the scenes footage to funny PSA’s, even non-sequiturs, and everything in between. Whether you grew up with the film, are a lover of all things witches & sisterhood, or a first time explorer of the cult-cinema world - prepare for a night out that streaming a movie at home could never touch. Rediscover the magic of movies on the big screen and immerse yourself in an experience that only a gathering at the cinema can offer.
