My favorite theater in Chicago is the Music Box, one that I have been going to for over 30 years and love the fact that something like this still exists in my world. I am truly honored every time I attend a screening there. If you have a theater like this in your neck of the woods, please make sure you support it to keep these places alive and well.

The Music Box has recently announced a 3D film series that starts in April. These are all in digital 3D so you don’t have the old-fashioned red & blue glasses. Nothing against the old way, but these new digital ones are pretty effective. While only a few of the titles announced are really in the horror genre, I think it is still an awesome idea! Especially because the film that starts the series is Jack Arnold’s 1954 film Creature from the Black Lagoon, which was originally filmed and presented in 3D. I cannot overstate just how amazing this film is when you see it in 3D. Granted, it is a classic in a regular format, but in 3D . . . just wow! So, if you haven’t had the opportunity to see this film in this format, PLEASE make plans to do so.

As far as the other films they are playing that are horror, they have House of Wax (1953) with Vincent Price, Saw 3D (2010), and Gravity (2013), which might technically not be horror, but there are some terrifying sequences in there. Also, they are screening Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M for Murder (1954). Any time you can see Hitchcock on the big screen is worth it, not to mention in 3D!
