We had a slight reschedule for our screenings of Cemetery Man and To Wong Foo (take note of the pictured dates)… mostly to make room in our programming schedule for BIG MUDDY MONSTER FESTIVAL… Returning to the Liberty for the third year in a row! Can’t wait to see all you cryptids and creatures out at the Lib in support of our most beloved local Sasquatch.

32 years ago today, Michele Soavi's magnum opus Dellamorte Dellamore (aka Cemetery Man) opened in Italy.

Hailed by director Martin Scorsese as one of the best Italian films of the 1990s, Cemetery Man is praised for its surreal, stylish blend of existential philosophy, gothic romance, and inventive gore.

Starring Rupert Everett as the charmingly disaffected caretaker Francesco Dellamorte, the film follows his descent into madness while battling the dead who return to life after seven days. It's the finest romantic, existential, black comedy, zombie gorefest of our time!

In January 2011, Fangoria reported that Soavi was writing a sequel, said to be a new chapter in the life of Francesco Dellamorte, but it unfortunately never came to fruition.

We wanted to give a huge shout out to St. Nicholas Brewing Company for making our upcoming movie screening of Breaking Away possible. St Nick’s does a lot for our community, including supporting the Liberty Theater! This Saturday why not stop in at St Nick’s for a beer and burger and then head over to the Liberty for a screening of 1979 academy award winner, Breaking Away?! See you there!
