30th anniversary screening of the cult film 'The Craft' at Arkadin, part of the 'Autumn Alchemy' festival with witchy vendors and readings.
Arkadin Cinema & Bar is screening The Craft on Friday, October 23, for its 30th anniversary. The movie is part of "Autumn Alchemy at Arkadin," a series presented by Chaos Magick that leans into the season's witchy energy. The screening runs from 7 PM to 8:45 PM in the indoor theater, and tickets are $9.
If you haven't seen it, The Craft is a 1996 horror thriller and high school melodrama that's earned a cult following over the years. It's built around a quintessential '90s cast—Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Rachel True, and Skeet Ulrich—and it's as much about goth-girl fashion as it is about the plot. At its core, it's a story of female friendship and solidarity bound by spells, and a contemporary review quoted by the venue sums it up as "witchcraft, sisterhood and empowerment."
What makes this more than just a movie night is what's happening around it. The backlot is playing along with the theme, with vendors selling witchy wares and offering tarot readings, limpias, sound healing, and reiki. It's the kind of setup where you can hang out before or after the film, browse the tables, and maybe get a reading while you're there. The whole thing sits under the "Autumn Alchemy" umbrella, so the vibe is consistent from the lobby to the screen.
