IRON MOUNTAIN — The Braumart Theatre in Iron Mountain will feature “Fright Night” on Friday, Oct. 29.

The double feature Halloween Classic Movie Series will be curated by Seth Anderson, local filmmaker and Braumart board member.

The first film will “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” sponsored by the Kenneth James Salon in Iron Mountain, will begin at 7 p.m.

“The Nightmare Before Christmas” was filmed in 1993 and is rated PG. The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown’s beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the “real world.”

When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life — he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 95% based on 95 reviews, with an average rating of 8.27/10. The site’s critics consensus reads, “‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ is a stunningly original and visually delightful work of stop-motion animation.”

The Braumart will then screen cult classic “Night of the Living Dead” at 10 p.m. The1968 horror film is not rated and is not recommended for young audiences.

Shot outside Pittsburgh on a shoestring budget by a band of filmmakers determined to make their mark, “Night of the Living Dead,” directed by horror master George A. Romero, is a great story of independent cinema: a midnight hit turned box-office smash that became one of the most influential films of all time.

A deceptively simple tale of a group of strangers trapped in a farmhouse who find themselves fending off a horde of recently dead, flesh-eating ghouls, Romero’s claustrophobic vision of a late-1960s America literally tearing itself apart rewrote the rules of the horror genre, combined gruesome gore with acute social commentary, and quietly broke ground by casting a black actor (Duane Jones) in its lead role. Stark, haunting and more relevant than ever, “Night of the Living Dead” is back.

The low-budget “Night of the Living Dead” was rejected by major studios, but it became a cult favorite. The film was controversial in its day, and the graphic nature of the content outraged many critics and shocked many young viewers, who had come to expect more campy fare from their horror films. Romero went on to make several sequels, and remakes of the original include a 3-D version released in 2006. The original “Night of the Living Dead,” however, remains the archetypical zombie film.

Doors will open at 6 p.m. and all tickets can be purchased at the door.

The Braumart will present a double feature with “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Night of the Living Dead” on Friday, Oct. 29.
