Gremlins

You should know the rules by now: Don’t expose them to bright light. Don’t get them wet. And above all, don’t feed them after midnight. So join Gizmo and all the other furry, monstrous Gremlins as they burst off the screen in the greatest small-town holiday adventure since “It’s A Wonderful Life!” This bonanza of proliferating pests is the beloved result of the remarkable collaboration between director Joe Dante, writer Chris Columbus, and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment. Mixing Norman Rockwell sentimentality and anarchic vandalism, this Christmas-comedy-horror classic both lights up and destroys everything you love (and loathe) about the holidays.

Tickets are free for SCAD Card holders; $5 for students, seniors, and military; and $8 for the general public.
