Long before DeLoreans hit 88 miles per hour, cinema was already dreaming up ways to bend time, revisit the past, and imagine impossible worlds. Before Time… and Back Again! pairs an early special-effects marvel with one of the most beloved time-travel adventures ever put on screen.
We’ll begin with The Ghost of Slumber Mountain (1918), a groundbreaking silent short that amazed early audiences with its stop-motion dinosaurs and imaginative storytelling—offering one of cinema’s earliest glimpses at bringing the distant past to life through visual effects. Then, buckle up for Back to the Future (1985), Robert Zemeckis’ iconic blockbuster that blends sci-fi, comedy, and heart into a perfectly tuned time-travel thrill ride.
Celebrate how filmmakers have used technology, imagination, and sheer movie magic to take us backward—and forward—through time. Great Scott!
Doors open at 7, show starts at 7:30pm.

C5 presents: Foundations of Fear | Psycho (1960) | Friday | October 30th 2026
2026-10-30 19:00 - 21:30 | Brewery Arts Center | West Building | Performance Hall, 511 W. King St., Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
Before slashers, jump scares, and modern horror tropes, filmmakers were already learning how to frighten audiences with shadows, suggestion, and the power of the unknown. Foundations of Fear traces the origins of cinematic terror—from its earliest trick films to one of the most shocking and influential thrillers ever made.
We’ll begin with The Haunted Castle (1896), one of the earliest horror films in history. This short silent fantasy used stage magic, visual effects, and eerie imagery to prove that cinema itself could be a tool for fear. That legacy reaches its chilling peak with Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960), a landmark film that shattered audience expectations, redefined suspense, and forever changed how horror stories are told on screen.
Join C5: Carson Classic Cinema Club for a spine-tingling October screening that explores how fear was born in cinema—and how it evolved into something unforgettable. Lock the doors, dim the lights, and prepare for the foundations of fear.
Doors open at 7, show starts at 7:30pm.

Then, buckle up for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987), John Hughes’ classic Thanksgiving comedy that turns missed connections, travel disasters, and unlikely friendships into a surprisingly tender holiday story.

C5 presents: Bah, Humbug! A Century of Cinema | The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) | Thursday | December 17th 2026
2026-12-17 19:00 - 21:30 | Brewery Arts Center | West Building | Performance Hall, 511 W. King St., Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
From flickering lantern-lit ghosts to felt-covered frogs and singing rats, Bah, Humbug! A Century of Holiday Cinema celebrates the enduring power of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol to warm even the coldest hearts.
We’ll begin with Scrooge; or Marley’s Ghost (1901), one of the earliest literary adaptations ever put on screen. This short silent film captures the novelty and magic of early cinema while introducing audiences to the now-iconic spirits of Christmas past, present, and future. That tradition carries joyfully forward with The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992), a beloved modern classic that blends humor, heart, and surprisingly faithful storytelling into a holiday favorite for all ages.
It will be a festive finale that honors cinema’s past, celebrates its present, and reminds us why this story—and this season—continue to endure. Come for the ghosts, stay for the Muppets, and leave with your heart two sizes larger.
Doors open at 7, show starts at 7:30pm.
