Midnight Movies

Midnight movies are films that are typically screened late at night, often on weekends, as a special event or cultural phenomenon. These screenings usually feature cult classics, experimental, or unconventional films that attract dedicated fans seeking a unique, communal viewing experience. The midnight screening tradition became popular in the 1970s and 1980s, creating a sense of subcultural community around genre films like horror, sci-fi, and comedy. These movies often develop a dedicated following, partly due to their nostalgic value or original, offbeat content, making midnight movie screenings a distinctive aspect of film culture.
