The Tivoli Announces the ‘Reel Late’ Midnight Line-Up: CATS!, SUSPIRIA, Bong Joon Ho’s THE HOST and More!

” I believe you truly are a Jellicle cat, a dellicle cat!”

Another terrific lineup of midnight movies for the ‘Reel Late at The Tivoli’ 2020 winter season. It’s a typically good variety of titles that will draw the late night movie buff crowd with a couple of retro surprises. The Midnight Movie experience has always catered to a college-age crowd and that’s the way it should be. The oldest film this time is THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE from ’75 and the most recent is last year’s CATS (that should be interesting). There’s a Miyazaki (NAUSICAA IN THE VALLEY OF THE WIND) and A couple of standards including THE DARK CRYSTAL and SUSPIRIA (1977) are on the schedule. I don’t recall SCHOOL OF ROCK or Bong Joon Ho’s THE HOST  (see it! It’s a better film than PARASITE) showing at the Tivoli at midnight before ! I’ve been hosting the midnight show at The Tivoli for eleven years now and this is a great line-up.

Here’s the line-up:

April 3-4 THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW with the live
shadow cast, Samurai Electricians!
April 10-11 CATS
April 17-18 Bong Joon Ho’s THE HOST
April 24-25 THE DARK CRYSTAL
May 1-2 RUSHMORE
May 8-9 SUSPIRIA (EXTENDED CUT)
May 15-16 NAUSICAA IN THE VALLEY OF THE WIND
May 22-23 SCHOOL OF ROCK
