Entry No. 36 — the Detroit file — filed under: midnight movies

The Senate Theater

Home to the Detroit Theater Organ Society, this historic 1926 movie house hosts cult classics and B-movie screenings preceded by thunderous live performances on a massive, historic Wurlitzer organ.

The move: Attend their summer 'Hot, Sweaty & Weird' film series, where you can sip drinks from the full bar while a massive pipe organ plays dramatic overtures before a screening of a cult classic like El Topo or Carrie.
