Halloween at Luna Palace Cinemas

Halloween is creeping closer, and things are getting delightfully spooky at Luna Palace Cinemas! From cult classics and twisted tales to killer double features, we’re serving up a season of cinematic chills, thrills and frighteningly good fun.

Death Becomes Her + Serial Mom

Luna Monday Double

Monday, October 26 | Luna Leederville

Suburbia has never looked so sinister. From immortal beauty and bodily dismemberment in Robert Zemeckis’ deliciously twisted Death Becomes Her to John Waters’ campy classic Serial Mom, this Halloween double feature serves up a wicked cocktail of dark comedy and domestic dysfunction.

Primetime

First Look Screening

Wednesday, October 28 | Luna Leederville

In 2006, television host Chris Hansen set out to make television history with To Catch a Predator, the controversial Dateline NBC series that turned confronting suspected paedophiles into prime-time entertainment. Now, Lance Oppenheim’s audacious first narrative feature revisits the phenomenon through a darkly comic examination of media spectacle, public shaming and performative justice, starring Robert Pattinson.

The Devils

Limited Release

From Thursday, October 29 | Luna Leederville

A defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell, The Devils remains one of cinema’s most transgressive and incendiary provocations: a feverish account of the Loudun possessions witchcraft trial in 17th-century France, starring Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed. Infamously rated X, banned, censored, recut in many territories for decades, this director’s cut restores Russell’s original intent for the first time ever.

The Thing + Tremors

SX Red Hot Double

Thursday, October 29 | Luna on SX, Fremantle

Venture into the icy Antarctic wasteland and the sun-baked desert for a double bill of creature-feature chaos. John Carpenter’s The Thing delivers paranoia, practical-effects nightmares and an extraterrestrial terror that could be anyone, while Tremors brings subterranean monsters, small-town survival and a healthy dose of B-movie brilliance.

Body Melt

Trash Classics

Friday, October 30 | Luna Leederville

A gross-out Aussie splatter horror cult classic for Halloween, hosted by the Black Maria Film Collective. Body Melt is an independent Australian horror movie that’s become a cult classic. Where else will you see Harold from Neighbours or Lisa McCune from Blue Heelers be confronted with exploding body parts and goopy splatter? In the suburb of Pebbles Court, the residents are being tested with a new drug that has deadly and revolting side effects.

Wicker

Wick-er-Treat Event Screenings

Saturday, October 31 | Luna Leederville & Luna on SX, Fremantle

Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Elizabeth Debicki, and Peter Dinklage star in this audaciously comedic tale about a lonely fisherwoman who commissions a basketmaker to weave her a husband. Join us for mediaeval music, themed drinks, fortune-telling, and other debaucherous festivities before a First Look on Halloween night.
