Burton\u2019s Beetlejuice<\/em> is one of a handful of classic scary movies that are being replayed on the big screen at Goodrich Quality Theaters\u2019 Willow Knolls 14<\/a> location just off W. Willow Knolls Drive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These\nscreenings are part of Goodrich\nQuality Theaters\u2019 \u201cFlashback Cinema\u201d series<\/a>, which offers different classic\nfilm showings twice each week. This year, October showings include Gremlins<\/em>, screening Oct. 16, Beetlejuice<\/em>, screening on Oct. 20 and\nOct. 23, and the horror hit A Nightmare\non Elm Street<\/em>, screening on Oct. 27 and Oct. 30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According\nto one Peoria movie theater insider many of the top scary movies actually come\nout around spring, rather than the fall. As a result, the best place to get movie\ntheater frights is Willow Knolls 14\u2019s Flashback Cinema offerings, and the extra\nseasonal tension might just add to the overall experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGoing\nto a flashback Halloween movie feels more fun than just going to just a typical\nflashback movie,\u201d said Willow Knolls patron Ben Pollard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However,\nthere are also plenty of movie options still available for fans and moviegoers\nthat are looking to experience a new story during this autumn season. For\nmoviegoers with children or a taste for less violence, theaters are also\noffering the newly released version of The\nAddams Family<\/em>, an animated take on the classic television comedy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There\nis also the recently released Joker<\/em>,\na new take on a classic comic book villain. Joker<\/em>\nis playing at all three major movie theaters in Peoria and offers plenty of tense\nmoments, albeit in a less traditionally \u201cfrightening\u201d sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Both\nThe Addams Family <\/em>and Joker<\/em> are available at Landmark Cinemas\non Dries Lane, which offers a free \u201cBring Your Own Bucket\u201d popcorn\npromotion<\/a> every Tuesday. On any other day, the theater also specializes in\noffering its $2 popcorn and beverage combo and special savings on tickets for\nstudents and senior citizens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLandmark\nis the best movie deal in town,\u201d said Joker\n<\/em>viewer Peter Hanley. \u201cThey have the cheapest priced food and an affordable\nticket, especially for students. Plus I believe that the free popcorn is a\ngreat motivator. Whenever I have a movie I\u2019m hoping to see in theaters, I try\nto plan and see it on a Tuesday.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Beyond newer releases, there is also still time to catch up on releases from earlier in the year that still fit the seasonal spirit of October and offer more scary moments. One such release is Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark<\/em>, which is a film adaptation of a horror book series from the 1980s. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark<\/em> still has screenings scheduled at Willow Knolls 14, but not at AMC Classic Grand Prairie 18<\/a> or Landmark Cinemas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another\nolder release that is still available is IT:\nChapter 2<\/em>, the sequel to 2017\u2019s IT<\/em>\nand an adaptation of the classic Stephen King horror novel. IT: Chapter 2<\/em> is playing at both Willow\nKnolls 14 and AMC Classic Grand Prairie 18, but it is no longer available at\nLandmark Cinemas. Like the first movie and the original novel, IT: Chapter 2 <\/em>follows a group of people\nas they try to kill an evil spirit that takes the form of a clown and\nterrorizes a small town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo\nme, IT [Chapter 2] <\/em>resembles more of\na Halloween movie [than something like Joker,<\/em>]\u201d\nsaid Pollard. \u201cA lot of the Halloween movies that I\u2019ve seen have one villain\nwho terrorizes a specific person or group of people.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether\nyour taste is frights or just a good movie in general, there is no doubt that\nthe theaters around Peoria have you covered this October. With a wide range of\ntheater options, pricing, deal opportunities, and classic seasonal re-releases,\nany moviegoer can find something to enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By: Mike Kelly \u201cIt\u2019s showtime!\u201d Michael Keaton exclaims before unleashing a comedy of horrors that drives one of the most memorable movies of the scary movie genre. Keaton\u2019s iconic role as the titular character in Tim Burton\u2019s 1988 classic Beetlejuice is the kind of movie that is played by cable movie stations on repeat throughout the Halloween season. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Around Peoria, though, more than just the cable stations are attempting to get in on the fear factor.
