Not only do we have killer raccoons on December 15 @ 7:30 in the film KILLER RACCOONS 2: DARK CHRISTMAS IN THE DARK, we'll have a Q & A hosted by the film's director Travis Irvine. The raccoon in the pic missed out on tix & didn't take it well. Don't be that raccoon.

Today is #SmallBusinessSaturday. Please consider supporting the local businesses on Ludlow in Gaslight Clifton. Many of us are locally owned and operated and don't receive any corporate support. I hear gift cards to area theaters are always a hit! Bonus cards with purchase make the deal even better!

The ACX Cinema in Blue Ash closed this week. Theaters are a gateway to wonder & a little bit of magic dies when one closes. If you have a gift card from ACX or any closed #Cincinnati theatre, exchange it at our box office for a pair of passes to use at the Esquire, Mariemont or Kenwood Theatres.
