(ASBURY PARK, NJ) -- This October, The ShowRoom partners with The Asbury Park Movie Club to honor the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, with HITCHCOCK'TOBER, a month-long series of thrillers that continue to keep audiences on edge decades after their release.
The series will feature four of Hitchcock's most unforgettable works, screening on Wednesdays at 7:00pm (with special introductions) and Sundays at 3:30pm. Tickets are $15 and available now at showroomcinemas.com.
* Shadow Of A Doubt (Wednesday, October 1 at 7:00pm and Sunday, October 5 at 3:30pm) A young woman (Teresa Wright) begins to suspect her charming Uncle Charlie (Joseph Cotten) may be hiding a dark and deadly secret in this chilling small-town tale—Hitchcock's own personal favorite.
* Strangers On A Train (Wednesday, October 8 at 7:00pm and Sunday, October 12 at 3:30pm). When two strangers cross paths on a train, one proposes a sinister "exchange" of murders. What begins as far-fetched soon spirals into a terrifying psychological game of cat and mouse.
* Dial M For Murder (Wednesday, October 15 at 7:00pm and Sunday, October 19 at 3:30pm) A suave husband plots the perfect murder of his wealthy wife, only to see his scheme unravel in unexpected ways. Grace Kelly shines in this gripping story of betrayal, blackmail, and suspense.
* North By Northwest (Wednesday, October 22 at 7:00pm and Sunday, October 26 at 3:30pm) A case of mistaken identity hurls advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) into a dangerous cross-country chase. From espionage to romance to the unforgettable Mount Rushmore finale, this is Hitchcock at his most thrilling.
The ShowRoom Cinema opened in Asbury Park, NJ, in April, 2009, as a single-screen, 50 seat movie theater, with a goal of bringing provocative and relevant independent movies and engaging special events to the city’s budding downtown. In 2012 the theater evolved into a 3-screen, independent cinema and became the leading entertainment destination in Asbury Park’s eclectic, art-infused downtown shopping district.
Through its eleven year run, The ShowRoom brought an important selection of independent, first-run films — including critically-acclaimed domestic and foreign features, documentaries, festival winners and shorts — to the Jersey Shore. It also hosted a variety of special one night only screenings, live performances and community-driven special events. The theater closed in 2020, but new owners Daria Parr and family are excited to welcome The ShowRoom back to Asbury Park. As the last year and a half has shown, the simple pleasure of seeing a new release on a big screen with a roomful of fellow film fans is an experience many of us didn’t realize we would miss until it was gone.
The ShowRoom will continue to deliver the same high quality film selection and impeccable customer service that the theater has become known for while working toward the big picture goal: restoring some of what was lost during the pandemic by inviting our cherished guests to share the energy and fun of going to the movies again.
