🏮👻 Thank you to everyone who joined our Chilling Night this past Friday! 👻🏮

We’re so grateful to all of you who came out, participated, shared some laughs (and screams!?👻), and made the night feel like a true community gathering. We hope you enjoyed this little taste of Japanese Nōryō (納涼)!

A big thank you for your patience and understanding during an unexpected technical hiccup with the movie. We truly appreciated everyone’s good spirits as we worked through it together. 🙏

🎬 And of course, a huge thank you to the team at Millennium Entertainment Complex, Eastside Cinema (Eastside Cinema ) for welcoming us and being so flexible and supportive throughout the evening.

🖌️ A special thank you to Tomoko-san (Tomoko Hetherington ), our wonderful calligraphy master, for creating the beautiful calligraphy for our event banner and sharing her talent with everyone through the Ofuda writing activity! We’re so grateful for her help in bringing a touch of Japanese calligraphy to Chilling Night. 🇯🇵

And a big thank you to all of our wonderful AJC volunteers and everyone who helped make the event happen. We couldn’t have done it without you! ❤️

We hope you had a fun, spooky, and memorable evening with us. See you at the next AJC event! 🇯🇵🏮

👻 ONE WEEK UNTIL CHILLING NIGHT! 🌙

What happens when you bring a little Japanese summer tradition—and a few chills—to Austin?

📖 LEARN about Japanese ghost stories & nōryō culture
🎬 WATCH Botan Dōrō (The Bride from Hades), a classic Japanese ghost movie
👻 EXPLORER Hyakumonogatari-style storytelling
🏮 ENJOY Nōryō activities like a Photo Booth and a Japanese-inspired lantern making

And don’t worry if you’ve never experienced Japanese ghost stories or classic Japanese horror before. We’ll start with a mini-lecture to give you the cultural context before the film.

It’s more than a movie. It’s a Japanese summer night with a twist. 👻
