CLARKSVILLE, TN – The Roxy Regional Theatre is getting in the spirit of the Halloween season with the return of the Planters Bank Presents film series.
Offering budget-friendly entertainment options at only $5 a ticket, the Roxy is screening a host of spooky – and sometimes silly – film favorites on Sunday afternoons in October, sponsored by Planters Bank:
The Goonies
Sunday, October 5 @ 2:00pm, From the imagination of Steven Spielberg comes this fun-filled adventure about a band of misfit teens who take on the might of a property developer planning to destroy their home to build a country club. When the kids discover an old treasure map in the attic, they follow it into a spectacular underground realm of twisting passages, outrageous booby-traps and a long-lost pirate ship, racing to stay one step ahead of a family of bumbling bad guys — and a mild-mannered monster with a face only a mother could love.
