Nitehawk Cinema will be celebrating Halloween all month long with a movie series called October Brunch & Midnite: Final Girl, and you can get in on the fun for less than an NYC movie ticket. Yep, noon or midnight for just $11 (per film) you can scream (or laugh?) along with some of the most popular horror movies ever made. Plus, you can enjoy full meals while watching to ease your panic. The menu includes cinephile-friendly foods to go along with the flicks, including Boyhood queso for brunch and cocktails like The Driver, inspired by Ryan Gosling's film Drive.
The series' title, "Final Girl", refers to the iconic trope in horror movies; the woman is almost always the last one standing. Back in the 1990s, film scholar Carol J. Clover coined the term, noting that women were often the main character and carried the story with the biggest plot changes; an example would be women going from "victim to savior and from lover to killer, " noted Nitehawk.
