COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — CAPA has announced its 2022 Summer Movie Series lineup and discount ticket 10-packs are now on sale.
In a release, the arts organization shared some highlights for the 53rd installment of the movie series which focuses on “classic films and cult favorites.” This year, 25 movies will be screened from June 16 through Aug. 14. There will be “10 series premieres, a silent film with live musical accompaniment, Fright Nite Friday, and two Saturday mornings of classic cartoons,” according to CAPA.
Guests who arrive early will be able to enjoy pre-show entertainment with featured organist Clark Wilson, who is returning for his 31st year with the series. Wilson is scheduled to play the theater organ, known as “Mighty Morton,” a half-hour before showtime.
Additionally, the Friday, July 15 showing of John Carpenter’s 1978 “Halloween” has been dubbed “Fright Nite Friday,” with throwback elements to central Ohio’s beloved late-night TV personality Fritz the Nite Owl. According to CAPA, the night will include a “full episode of Nite Owl Theatre complete with era-appropriate, retro commercials and Fritz’s signature breaks loaded with trivia-tastic tomfoolery and campy special effects.”
