Halloween Movie Time: N. Obayashi’s "HOUSE"

  • Music Box Theatre 3733 North Southport Avenue Chicago, IL, 60613 United States (map)

House, a 1977 Japanese comedy horror by Nobuhiko Obayashi, is at once the most unlikely and the most obvious of Halloween classics. It’s a film whose mischievous spirit is perfectly suited to the holiday — which may partially explain why it’s become so beloved so quickly. A deliriously fun and delightfully surreal film, it’s about a group of Japanese schoolgirls, a spinster witch, and a fluffy white cat — inspired by one of Obayashi’s young daughter’s nightmares. This psychedelic freakout of a haunted house movie is unmissable, whether you’ve never seen it or you’ve seen it a hundred times.

Hours: 10:00 pm - 11:30 pm

Tickets: General admission $11; member $8
