We're at the top of a new week and a new month, the Halloween season is officially over, and the days are about to get a lot shorter... Why not spend your dark evenings at the movies?
This is another eventful week in the bay area and although this is the last stretch of the Another Hole in the Head film festival, it's definitely going out in a high note. Every one of these last three days has something interesting playing and several films will also have special guests in attendance.
Outside of the New People building, the rest of our indie theatres are also tending to our beastly needs by showing a variety of monster movies, mystery movies, and nostalgic gems. Read on for details.
