The Melt Bar & Grilled Late Shift film series expands to Akron
Starting in July, the MELT BAR & GRILLED LATE SHIFT will be expanding to a third location bringing cult classics to the Akron area with the addition of Plaza Cinemas at Chapel Hill (500 Howe Ave., Cuyahoga Falls).
The series continues to showcase a variety of popular films from the recent and distant past that have developed enthusiastic fans over the years.
Films will continue to screen at the Cedar Lee Theatre (2163 Lee Rd., Cleveland Hts.) and the Capitol Theatre (1390 W. 65th St., Cleveland).
“Seeing these films on the big screen with an audience is an incredible experience,” sais Dave Huffman, Cleveland Cinemas Director of Marketing and programmer of the MELT BAR & GRILLED LATE SHIFT.
In addition to showing the films, there will be raffle prizes and other special promotions to create a one-of-a-kind night out at the movies.
Some upcoming promotions include: “Pay What You Weigh” for the film SEVEN (July 21, Capitol Theatre), in which attendees can weigh in and pay 2.5¢ per pound instead of the standard $5 admission. For BEETLEJUICE (October 6, Cedar Lee Theatre), anyone who dresses in Goth attire will get a free popcorn.
"It’s a ton of fun partnering with Cleveland Cinemas for the Late Shift,” says Matt Fish, owner of Melt Bar & Grilled. “I love seeing some of my favorite movies back on the big screen and they inspire some of my craziest sandwich creations.”
In addition to the films above the Cedar Lee Theatre and Plaza Cinemas continue their monthly showings of the perennial cult classics THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW plays the first Saturday of each month at the Cedar Lee Theatre and the third Saturday of each month at Plaza Cinemas at Chapel Hill at midnight and features a live shadow cast performance by the resident casts, Simply His Servants (Cedar Lee) and The 69th Floor Show (Plaza Cinemas).
Admission to MELT BAR & GRILLED LATE SHIFT films is $5 with the exception of ROCKY HORROR(admission is $9 or $6 if you come in costume) and 12 HOURS OF TERROR ($25 in advance, $30 day of show).
