    Panic at the Paramount: Demons and Popcorn

    Where better to watch movies set in movie theatres than in a theatre that shows movies? The Paramount marks the midpoint of the spookiest month with a double bill of flicks about what happens when the terror spills off the screen. Lamberto Bava’s Dèmoni locks an unsuspecting preview audience in a movie house that’s also a portal to Hell and delivers a demonic eruption that somehow one-ups Alien’s chestburster. Then stay frozen to your seat for Popcorn, a bonkers metahorror of films within films that starts off with Kingston, Jamaica, unsuccessfully standing in for the U.S. It only gets weirder from there. – Richard Whittaker

      Banned Wagon Tour

      Look: Book bans have been in the fascist playbook since we crawled out of the muck and grew feet instead of fins. They’re terrible and so is the anti-intellectual culture that sprouts up around them. In an effort to combat this lack of literary respect, publisher Penguin Random House has put pedal to the metal in their Banned Wagon – a literal van that’s hitting spots particularly vulnerable to conservative government overreach. Texas is, no-duh, on the list and they’ve chosen independent and Black- and woman-owned shop Black Pearl Books as the Wagon’s Austin landing spot. Come check ’em out, get new lit, and give those who might try to break your book spines the middle finger. – James Scott

      Lupin the 3rd: the Castle of Cagliostro (1979)

      One might not think the antics of one pervert thief, his two right-hands of a swordsman and smoking gun, and a femme fatale would blend with what Western audiences understand of animator Hayao Miyazaki’s sensibilities. Wrong! This is the guy whose self-insert character was a pig who flew a WWII plane! Drawing from his time on Lupin’s television series, Miyazaki brings a softer side out to the turquoise-suited criminal – more damsel saver than boob-groper – while still keeping the mile-a-minute goofs so everyone’s happy. Oh, and don’t worry: Lupin and lawman Inspector Zenigata still have that “one-night-together-we-never-talk-about” vibe. – James Scott

      Shoal Creek Social

      A huge part of Austin’s charm is its many beautiful waterways and walking trails, and the Shoal Creek Trail is one of the best as well as the city’s oldest. Keeping a treasure like this alive requires a community effort, so the Shoal Creek Conservancy works year-round to organize volunteer efforts and once a year, they put on the Shoal Creek Social. From Oct. 15-31, the campaign raises funds and awareness, offering opportunities to explore the trail with walking tours and a scavenger hunt. All are welcome to a creekside party at Duncan Park on Oct. 26. – Kat McNevins

      Terrifying Tuesday: Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988)

      What if a mad scientist spliced Vampira and a Valley Girl? Mad, you say? Maybe you are the one who is mad, because what you’d be unleashing would be none other than the curvaceous countess of cleavage and corny jokes, Elvira! The horror host played by Cassandra Peterson made her own leap from the small screen of Los Angeles’ KHJ-TV to the big screen of cinemas for her 1988 movie Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. Tarred and feathered when it was released, this spooky season is the perfect time to relish its witchy, titillating, double-entendre-stuff dun. And not only is this screening free, but Double Trouble throws in complimentary popcorn. So grab a handful or two for double your pleasure. – Richard Whittaker

      The Curse of Frankenstein (1957)

      Before stepping into their roles as sexy Van Helsing and sexy Dracula in The Horror of Dracula, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee launched Hammer Horror as sexy Dr. Frankenstein and the, well, not-so-sexy-but-definitely-magnetic Creature in The Curse of Frankenstein. But who knows – maybe gangrenous gray rotting skin underneath a proto-Beatles fright wig really works for some people. [Editor’s note: I can think of several.] Watch for the lurid atmosphere; stay for the soap opera intrigue. At the very least, this is an absolute must-see for anyone wanting to truly appreciate the referential humor in Young Frankenstein. – Cat McCarrey
