Terror-Inducing Films
Those who are looking for a terror-inducing time could seek out films such as Dawn of the Dead, The Thing, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Shining, Halloween, and more grueling movies throughout the “Nightmare on Franklin Street” series. A film released this year called Get Out will be playing on Monday, October 23rd at 7 PM and the only thing that we know is that it’s the best horror film to have come out in 2017 and that it may play on your fears so much that it may not sit nicely even when you walk out of the Tampa Theatre. Don’t fret if you’re not into the super scary scene! The 12 nights include cinematic pieces that are family-friendly flicks like Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, Frankenweenie, and Hocus Pocus!
