According to Andy Williams, this is the most wonderful time of the year. Why? Scary ghost stories! On the surface, it's drier than Mormon egg-nog out there, but seen through Williams' lens, the screens are full of magic. The most wonderful film of the week may be Nightmare Before Christmas, but don't forget the ghosts in Fiddler! It's tradition!

The Aero begins a two-night stint featuring the “The Erotic Films of Pier Paolo Pasolini,” and Italian filmmaker, screenwriter, essayist, poet, critic and novelist. He considered himself a Catholic Marxist despite having being kicked out from the Communist Party for being gay. Tonight’s double feature begins at 7:30 pm with The Decameron (1970), which is based on a Giovanni Bocaccio novel. The film’s followed by the way more intense Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975). The film depicts “with cold precision the sexual and psychological atrocities visited on 16 young men and women, held hostage by a group of depraved nobles at the end of WWII.” Due to the graphic sexual nature of these films, no one under 18 will be admitted to the screenings. more ›
