“Thumbs up! A bitter unforgettable poem about alienation. One of the unsung treasures among recent independent films.” - Roger Ebert

“A sharp shock to complacent faith in civilization.” - Daily Telegraph

March 19! Midnight Madness screenings return with David Lynch's first film (and his biggest cult hit) Eraserhead!

Get advance tickets here for Eraserhead!

Eraserhead was one of a kind: from its dysfunctional hero-introverted Henry Spencer with his upswept Bride of Elvis/Frankenstein hairdo and his skittish girlfriend, Mary X, to its stunningly weird visual style, to its wildly askew take on '70s America.

Eraserhead

David Lynch's breakthrough film that became an instant cult-classic

“When David Lynch's Eraserhead was released in 1977, another of the '70s 'midnight movies' that won fanatical repeat audiences, it still stood apart. It had a mesmerizing look and soundtrack, bizarre images that rattled, upset and fascinated audiences. And still do.
