“A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night”

A skateboarding chador-wearing vampire wandering the streets of an Iranian ghost town isn’t something the average movie-goer sees every day. But that’s exactly the character that’s depicted in the 2014 American film “A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night.” This Persian film, which has been dubbed the “first Iranian Vampire Western ever made,” is centered around “The Girl” a.k.a. the vampire that stalks the residents of the lonely and death-stricken ghost town. Complete with English subtitles, this horror flick will be preceded by free pizza and drinks at 7 p.m. Thursday in HECC 209.

MSC Aggie Cinema encourages the audience to bring blankets and chairs as the fight to defend the Lonely Mountain unfolds in “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.”
