Join us for a double feature of pre-code horror! (167 mins)

Fredric March delivers an Academy Award-winning performance as both the upstanding Dr. Jekyll and his murderous alter ego, Mr. Hyde, in this spellbinding pre-code version of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A scientist's investigation into the nature of good and evil goes awry after consuming a potion that changes him from a mild-mannered man of science into the homicidal animalistic maniac Mr. Hyde. (USA, 1931, 98 mins, English | Dir. Rouben Mamoulian)

A long-lost, priceless relic.. an unspeakable torture... a woman as lethal as she is beautiful... a monstrous plot to conquer the world! In the pre-code horror classic, The Mask of Fu Manchu, archaeologists from the British Museum race to find the ancient tomb of Genghis Khan before the evil genius Dr. Fu Manchu (Boris Karloff), who may be Khan's reincarnation. If the fiendish Fu Manchu finds the mysteriously powerful relics buried in the tomb, Fu Manchu and his beautiful, deadly daughter (Myrna Loy) will enslave the Earth. (USA, 1932, 69 mins, English | Dir. Charles Brabin & Charles Vidor)
