Halloween Movie Spook-a-thon at the Zeiterion (11:00am)
It’s double the trouble when The Z presents a pair of spooky movies back-to-back to honor the frightful holiday. First, The Addams Family (1991) follows Gomez (Raul Julia), Morticia (Anjelica Huston) and their ghoulish household as they fall prey to a scam involving long-lost Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd). Next is Coraline (2009), a visually stunning stop-motion animated feature from the director of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Coraline Jones (voiced by Dakota Fanning) is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door that leads her into a world that’s just like her own…but better!
2nd Annual Harvest Festival (12:00pm-5:00pm)
