Although these films are wildly different from one another, they share one key narrative element: a big house! With that in mind, consider yourself invited to our first ever “HOUSE” party!

Beyond our usual Cult Movie Night offerings of pre-show entertainment, specialty cocktails, and exclusive buttons, we'll also have an extra barrel of (relatively good) beer on hand -- and in the spirit of a true house party, your first red cup is on the "house" if you sign up for the Cvlt Club!

So what are you waiting for? Call up your friends and tell them to get ready for a night like none other, only at the Rivoli!

Doors: 5PM
