Movie: Hotel Transylvania

Hotel Transylvania is screening at the Central Library on Saturday, October 10, from 2 to 4 PM. It's part of the monthly scary-movie series run by the ShockCentral film group, so it's one of several screenings they put on throughout the year rather than a one-off.

The movie plays in the Durwood Film Vault, which is an original bank vault converted into a 28-seat movie theater. It's a small, enclosed space, and because it's inside the library, it's a bit different from your usual cinema trip. Once the credits roll, there's a short, relaxed discussion hosted by library staff, so you can hang around and talk about the movie with whoever else showed up.

One thing to keep in mind: the program is intended for adults 18 and over. Even though Hotel Transylvania is a family movie, this particular screening is geared toward an older crowd, so keep that in mind if you're planning to bring the kids along. It's a free screening, so you don't need to worry about tickets or a cover charge.

If you're around the city on a Saturday afternoon and want to catch a movie in a bank vault, this is a good way to spend a couple of hours. It runs from 2 to 4 PM at the Central Library in Kansas City, and admission is free.
