Past Season:

Colour in the Dark

Sat 21 Oct — Sun 29 Oct 2023

This October, The Garden Cinema brings you two weekends of enchantingly chilling Halloween selections, handpicked by our lovable resident spook, the Sinister Sister. The mini-season will explore the brightly lit, dreamy and bedazzled facets of horror, from candy coloured cult classics to contemporary homages to all things sugar-sweet and kitch. 

Robert Fuest’s horror Comedy The Abominable Dr. Phibes. Starring the inimitable Vincent Price as the titular Phibes, seeking revenge for the death of his wife in a technicolour frenzy of audacious schemes, elaborate wardrobes, and a gentle waltz or two..

Delphine Seyrig’s bewitching and mysterious Countess Bathory, lures you back into our darkened screens as she tightens her perfectly manicured grip around a pair of unassuming young newlyweds in Harry Kumel’s Daughters of Darkness.

Anna Biller’s The Love Witch finds Elaine, a beautiful young witch, breezing into the occult-friendly town of Arcata, California, determined to finally find a man to love her. A playful and fiery take on female desire, love, and independence, paying homage to 1950s Hollywood melodrama – laden with candles, cauldrons and catastrophe… 

Join us after our screening of The Love Witch for an intimate soiree in the garden bar to sample our love potion cocktail and pose as your chosen tarot card in our mini photo booth.  

Shhh! Colour in the Dark ends with a secret screening on 29 October, the title of which will be revealed only once you are comfortable in your seats. We may drop a few hints along the way, we can promise a little more of the bold and strange delights which you seek – but for now, let us keep you in the dark…

*Multi-buy Offer: With tickets for all four screenings in your basket, the price will automatically reduce to £25.
