Last month’s launch of OFS Fright Club was a screaming success, and its round two return on July 31 promises to be bigger and better than ever!   We’ve added awesome, spine-tingling raffle prizes to every screening, provided by local Olympia businesses, and free OFS Fright Club buttons to every patron in the door!  Grab a beer in the mezzanine lounge and prepare to white-knuckle your armrest: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Thing are coming to town…

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Friday July 31, August 14 and August 9 at 9:00 p.m. 9:00

Hailed as one of the scariest movies ever made: get ready for the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Join five friends on an ill-fated trip to check on Grandpa’s grave. A sizzling summer day and a crazy hitchhiker, a gas station confrontation and some alarming barbeque, all converge in a visceral journey into the truly frightening. Featuring a sledgehammer, a meat hook, and the introduction of the iconic Leatherface. After seeing this film you will dread Saturn being in retrograde. You will dread closing your eyes. Just remember, if you get too scared, repeat to yourself: “It’s only a movie…it’s only a movie…”

The Thing

Friday August 7, August 21, August 4 at 9:00 p.m.

John Carpenter’s The Thing is a stunning excursion into terror. The remote Antarctic base. The research scientists enduring the harsh winter. The mysterious dog that wanders into camp. The ravaged Norwegian outpost. The UFO crash sight. The malformed specimen that MUST be kept frozen. The mounting tension… and the horrific truth of the creature that now lurks among the researchers. Once maligned, but now considered a hallmark in the horror genre, The Thing contains some of the most shocking F/X ever put on film and a disturbing atmosphere that will chill your bones.

Ticket prices: OFS Members: $6; Non-Members: $9.  Tickets are available at the box office, which opens ½ hour before showtime.  All Friday Night Fright Club screenings begin at 9:00pm.  Mezzanine Lounge will be open to 21+ w/ID.
