Nightmares on Bloor Street: This chilling selection of classics and genre-benders will get you in the mood for spooky season.

Many movies lend themselves to dramatic interpretations, but none as rich and far-ranging as Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. In Room 237, we hear from people who have developed far-reaching theories and believe they have decoded the hidden symbols and messages buried in the late director's film. Carefully examining The Shining inside out and forwards and backwards, Room 237 is equal parts captivating, provocative and pure pleasure. Born out of conversations with producer Tim Kirk, Rodney Ascher’s film gives voice to the fans and scholars who espouse these theories, reworking the film to match their ideas and intercutting it with layers of dreamlike imagery to illustrate their streams of consciousness. Sometimes outrageous, sometimes mind-blowing, the words of the interviewees are given full-force by Ascher’s compelling vision. Discover why many have been trapped in the Overlook for 30 years.
