Rise from the grave at The Underground 🧟
Somerville’s newest micro-creative space is opening its doors, and you’re invited to the party. Join us for an artsy Halloween night featuring a screening of Night of the Living Dead with a brand-new live musical score, spooky snacks and drinks, and a chance to show off your best zombie look.
The film that started it all
Night of the Living Dead (1968) gave birth to the modern zombie movie. Flesh-eating ghouls? Contagious bites? It all began here. A 95% Rotten Tomatoes score and a permanent spot on countless “greatest” and “scariest” lists say it still bites.
It was also the first major US horror film to star a Black actor, Duane Jones, whose casting added unexpected depth to Romero’s sharp social critique.
Live score, live scares
Multi-instrumentalist duo Emma and Micah Huang, the creators behind the hit podcast Blood on Gold Mountain and the LA Hungry Ghost Festival, will perform an all-new score live. Expect dark electronics, haunting vocals, ominous guitars, and of course, the obligatory organ.
Eat, drink, and be scary
Enjoy spooky snacks and themed drinks, with all refreshments clearly labeled for dietary restrictions.
Come in costume!
Zombies especially welcome. Whether this is your Halloween main event or your pregame, get creepy with us.
