Horror cinema has a way of haunting us across generations, and this Halloween, San Jose’s 3Below Theaters is serving up some serious vintage terror realness.

A Century of Cinematic Nightmares

Get ready to travel back in time with two legendary horror films that have stood the test of time: “The Phantom of the Opera” and “The Bride of Frankenstein”. These aren’t just old movies – they’re cinematic artifacts that basically invented the horror genre we know and love today.

Classic Monsters, Timeless Scares

Lon Chaney’s “Phantom” from 1925 is celebrating its epic 100-year anniversary, while Boris Karloff’s “Bride of Frankenstein” is marking a solid 90 years of spine-tingling terror. These films aren’t just relics – they’re the OG horror that inspired every jump scare and monster movie you’ve ever watched.

Where the Magic Happens

Catch these classic screenings at 3Below Theaters in downtown San Jose. Tickets are a reasonable $12-$15, with validated parking available. As a bonus, they’re throwing in a screening of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” to complete your vintage horror experience. Whether you’re a film buff or just looking for some Halloween entertainment, this is your chance to see horror history in the making.
