7pm - Addams Family Values (Rated PG-13)

“Addams Family Values is a slick, witty and mischievous delight, and one of those rare sequels which surpasses its predecessor. Not that the latter was a difficult task.” – Lyndon Barber, Sydney Morning Herald

Love is in the air. And when that air surrounds the Addams Family, events unfold in delightfully unexpected ways. Take Gomez and Morticia: passionate, devoted, demented, and thrilled by their new arrival, baby Pubert, brandishing that sweet smile, that familial pallor, that cute little mustache. The love bug has bitten Uncle Fester, an innocent if there ever was one, who has developed his own yearning for Debbie, the new nanny with her own ideas about Fester’s future, none of them involving his longevity. Even young Wednesday has met a kindred spirit in the most unlikely of locations — summer camp.

Director: Barry Sonnenfeld

Writers: Charles Addams (characters), Paul Rudnick (written by)

Cast: Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, Joan Cusack, Christina Ricci, Carol Kane, Jimmy Workman, Kaitlyn Hooper, Kristen Hooper, Carel Struycken

9pm - The Conjuring (Rated R)

“A sensationally entertaining old-school freakout and one of the smartest, most viscerally effective thrillers in recent memory.” – Justin Chang, Variety

Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville. Based on a true story, ‘The Conjuring’ tells the horrifying tale of how world-renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called upon to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse. Forced to confront a powerful demonic entity, the Warrens find themselves caught in the most terrifying case of their lives.

Director: James Wan

Writers: Chad Hayes, Carey W. Hayes
