Psycho on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 5:30 p.m.

Psycho is based on a book of the same name by Robert Bloch. During its writing, Bloch was living 35 miles away from the real-life murders of Ed Gein, a serial killer who flayed his victims in what psychiatrists believed was an attempt to make a skin suit so he could pretend to be his dead, domineering, puritanical mother.

X on Sunday, Oct. 16 at 8:30 p.m.

The House With a Clock in its Walls on Monday, Oct. 17 at 2 p.m.

Lewis, an inquisitive ten-year-old with an anachronistic steampunk taste in eyewear, loses both his parents in a car accident and goes to live with his weird uncle Jonathan (Jack Black, who brings his comfortable Goosebumps chops out of mothballs), and his best friend and neighbor Florence (Cate Blanchett, who can seemingly do anything).

The Shining on Monday, Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m.

Director Stanley Kubrick made movies to seem like dreams. Scenes flow into each other; the camera pans and lingers awkwardly; events aren’t necessarily strung together logically.

Admission is $10 for the general public, $7 for Tampa Theatre members and free for kids age 12 and under.
