Get ready for some ho-ho-horror!

With the support of TD Bank, Backdoor Cinema is back, and we're more excited than Santa finding a plate of warm cookies.
Join us on December 15th at 7:30 PM at the for the holiday thrill ride - KRAMPUS!

Now, we know the holiday season is supposed to be all about joy and cheer, but forget about sugarplum fairies because Krampus is in town. According to ancient European folklore, this horned beast isn't here to stuff stockings but to dish out some festive punishment to the naughty ones. Starring Toni Colette, Adam Scott, and directed by Michael Dougherty, KRAMPUS is a fun and festive horror that'll force you into the Christmas spirit, whether you like it or not.

But wait, there's more! Hosting the night are local legends and Krampus lookalikes, and .visa!

So, dust off your gay apparel, grab your slay bells, and join us for a night of horrific Christmas fun that'll have you singing carols with a little extra adrenaline.
See you at the Globe on December 15th - it's going to be a festive fright! 🎅👹🎄

Proceeds from this screening will be supporting the End of the Rainbow Foundation.
