Screenings in the Bay (Friday to Sunday)

This is a pretty light weekend for horror variety, although one of the movies is an new release, opening today. But from what I can see, this is just the calm before the storm of film fests and cool movies in the bay area. And I'm very happy to see the triumphant return of the Stanford Theatre!
