"The Shaker Theater is a new underground pop-up cinema in a residential part of northern Oakland. For its inaugural run, it's been playing George Romero's 1968 "Night of the Living Dead" during October, with final runs up until Halloween evening. It's the uncensored, 96-minute original preserved on real celluloid. There will be popcorn and soda and, for more fun, before the movie the theater is playing clips from its "deep archives of rare and bizarre material." Think Halloween safety films, forgotten trailers and classic monster-movie moments."
"In a dark warehouse full of horrific decor, where it feels like zombies could break down the door any minute. To get into the screening, visitors must first navigate a "Corridor of Horror" designed by local artist Rob Vertigo. Picture a classic haunted house, but turned into spooky-maze form. Did your group just lose a member? It's probably nothing to worry about, they're no doubt right behind you.... Wait, that's not Chad! (Screams.)"
