WEDNESDAY

Horror Classics Butchertown Social Free  |  9 p.m.-2 a.m. Butchertown Social Cinema is hosting a double-feature night with two horror classics, Dracula and Frankenstein.

It’s a chance to see where it all began — two horror icons that have stood the test of time with haunting shots that make superb “use of shadow and light that is true movie magic, and scores that are as influential as the monsters themselves.” —Staff

Free Screening: ‘An Outrage’ Speed Art Museum Free  |  6 p.m. As Americans, we are reminded that, in many ways, we have never reconciled with our racist failures of the past. “An Outrage” is a short documentary — 30 minutes — about lynching in the American South, shot on site in six different lynching locations.
