The Lost Boys 35mm

The Lost Boys is coming to Screenland Armour Theatre on Monday, October 26, at 6:30 PM. It's a 35mm theatrical screening, which means the movie is projected from a physical strip of film rather than a digital file. That's the original format it was shot on, and it's how the film looks and feels on the big screen.

If you haven't seen it, The Lost Boys is a 1987 cult vampire movie. Two brothers move to a new town and discover the area is a haven for vampires. It's a classic of the genre, and seeing it on film gives it a texture you just don't get from a streaming service or a digital projection. It's one of those movies that works better in a dark room with a crowd around you than it does on a couch.

Screenland Armour is Kansas City's independently owned and operated movie theatre. They program a mix of new releases, classics, and foreign cinema, so they're used to running things like this. It's a good spot for a movie night, and this is one of their 35mm screenings, which are always a bit more of an event than a standard showing.

The screening is on Monday, October 26, at 6:30 PM at Screenland Armour Theatre, 408 Armour Rd. North, North Kansas City, MO 64116. If you're planning to go, keep in mind it's a Monday night, so you'll want to get there a little early to settle in before the lights go down.
