Details

❄️🎃 Cinema Obscura returns to Salem — and this time, it brought the holidays with it.
After an unforgettable debut earlier this year, Cinema Obscura II: Halloween Christmas Edition descends on Cinema Salem for two nights of curated independent horror, avant-garde film, and twisted holiday dread unlike anything we've done before.
Step inside where Christmas lights flicker through fog and horror films unspool beneath the haunted winter skies of Salem, Massachusetts. This isn't your typical December night out.
