Seating begins: 8 p.m. • Program: 8:45 p.m.
NOTE: This year we’re shifting our location to the top level of the Community Bookshelf Parking Garage, just across Baltimore Avenue from the Central Library.
The Gremlins are up for some midnight madness in New York City in this sequel. Having moved to the Big Apple after their Kingston Falls fallout, Billy and Kate (Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates) work in a techno-marvel skyscraper, complete with a shady genetics lab and an after-hours snack bar, which turns out to be a recipe for familiar trouble. Just add water for Mogwai mayhem.
