An annual tradition returns! Because this is our fifth anniversary at the re-launched Cinemagic (and our 5th John Carpenter Double Feature), we wanted to give ourselves a present. We hunted down 35mm films prints of THEY LIVE and THE THING, so we could run two of our favorite movies for our always awesome audience. It’s the movie-nerd dream folks, thanks for letting us live it.
