Grindhouse Coffee + Cult Cinema takes over the Terrifying Trails “Big Scream” video screen on Friday nights! Plus… there’s coffee!
What is The Grindhouse
When we find our official location we will be a coffee shop and micro cinema with the goal of bringing forgotten wonders and modern phenomena to the big(ish) screen. To remind the world, or at least Long Island, that there is more to film than big budget spectacles. We aim to screen overlooked films, offbeat gems, local filmmakers, underseen masterpieces, and mind-melting oddities lost in the era of streaming. You’ll be able to join us daily for exceptional coffee and a constant projection of psychotronic cinema… In the meantime you can join us at any of our pop-up events. check us out at www.thegrindhousecult.com
Why The Grindhouse
The term “grindhouse” comes from the run-down 42nd Street theaters of 1970s New York. Cheap, lurid, and low-budget films played day and night on those screens. Known for their audacious themes, explicit violence, and sensationalist nature, grindhouse movies offered an alternative to mainstream Hollywood. Add in the obvious connection to coffee grinds, and we have The Grindhouse… A little haven for coffee lovers and film lovers alike.

Special one-hour performance, Friday October 16th only!
Come and take a listen to the dark side of opera with Nicole Oliva!
Nicole, as a classically trained opera singer always had a love for things gothic and macabre and always felt opera gave that strange and creepy appeal. This concert goes through the progression of traditional and modern classical music, to broadway showtunes, and symphonic rock and metal.
A multi-talented Soprano, Nicole has performed all over the world! From Off-Broadway shows here on the east coast, European music festivals, Tokyo concert halls, as well as throughout the convention scene. A professional singer and haunted house actor, she brings her elegant level of gothicness to the stage in this wonderful concert!
