In 1996, Capcom unleashed Resident Evil, one of the most influential horror games ever created. Almost immediately after the game's success, Hollywood studios expressed interest in adapting the game to film. George A. Romero (whose “Living Dead” trilogy had directly inspired the games) was hired to write and direct a feature adaptation. Ultimately, Romero’s script was rejected out of fear it was too faithful to the game and not commercial enough. Following the directors departure, Paul W. S. Anderson was brought in to create a completely new version. Rather than adapting the first game scene-for-scene, Anderson created Alice (portrayed by Milla Jovovich), who awakens inside the secret Hive laboratory beneath Raccoon City. And thus the franchise was born. Wednesday Night Pitcher Show: The Covenant (2006) October 14, 2026 Screening as part of Enzian's 13+ Films of Halloween - Free movies on the Enzian lawn!

Murnau’s Nosferatu remains one of the most haunting and influential films ever made.

Directed during the height of the German Expressionism movement, Nosferatu follows the doomed real-estate agent Thomas Hutter as he travels to Transylvania and unwittingly unleashes an ancient evil upon his hometown.

Yacht Rock Revue returns in 2027 with PRIMETIME, bringing the smooth sounds of the ‘70s and ‘80s to Dr Phillips Center. Yacht Rock Revue, hailed by Rolling Stone as the “world’s premier soft-rock party band,” invites Orlando on a nostalgic voyage through the sun-soaked melodies of the ’70s and ’80s. With dy-no-mite renditions of hits by Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, Christopher Cross and more, Yacht Rock Revue bring the smooth sounds, timeless hits, and infectious energy of the ‘70s and ‘80s to Orlando's Steinmetz Hall on Tuesday, January 26, 2027 at 7 pm. Yacht Rock Revue is widely recognized as the driving force behind the yacht rock resurgence, sharing stages with icons and gamering a devoted following of "Anchorheads." 2026 makes their most ambitious production yet, but with the intimacy and interactive touch that harkens back to their days as a club band. Channeling the golden age of television and their humble beginnings in an Atlanta, GA basement in 2007, it's PRIMETIME. Tickets are on sale now via Dr Phillips Center: https://www.drphillipscenter.org/show/cann-presents-yacht-rock-revue-cn81 Embark on a nostalgic voyage through the shimmering seas of music with Yacht Rock Revue, the ultimate purveyors of the smooth, yacht rock sound and who many reverently consider the keepers of the Yacht Rock fire. Hailing from Atlanta, GA this sensational band has captivated audiences worldwide with their immaculate renditions of classic hits from the late '70s and early '80s. Inspired by the golden era of soft rock, Yacht Rock Revue has mastered the art of recreating the breezy and laid-back tunes that defined a generation. From the sun-kissed melodies of Steely Dan and Michael McDonald to the velvety harmonies of Hall & Oates, their repertoire spans an ocean of beloved hits that evoke memories of palm trees, ocean breezes, and carefree summers. Since their formation in 2007, Yacht Rock Revue has amassed a devoted following, drawing fans from all walks of life to their extraordinary live performances. Their attention to detail and devotion to authenticity are unrivaled, transporting audiences to a time when yacht parties and smooth sailing were the order of the day. But Yacht Rock Revue isn't just a tribute band; they are musical alchemists, seamlessly blending their own unique style with the iconic yacht rock vibe. Their original compositions are a modern ode to the genre, capturing the essence of those bygone days while infusing it with a fresh and invigorating twist. Their first original record, titled Hot Dads In Tight Jeans, showcases the bands complete range of skills that simultaneously transports the listener to a more modern era. While “Step,” the record’s first single, is a peppy number replete with falsetto and bumping bass, the rest of the album is more akin to Phoenix or Air, the hip bands that adapted Yacht for a younger audience. Beyond the stage, Yacht Rock Revue's infectious energy extends to their fans, creating a community that celebrates the joy of music and the timeless appeal of yacht rock. Their concerts are not just shows; they're immersive experiences that leave audiences craving more. Whether you're a longtime lover of the yacht rock era or a newcomer to its smooth grooves, Yacht Rock Revue promises an unforgettable journey across the azure waters of musical history. So grab your captain's hat and set sail with Yacht Rock Revue for a melodic adventure like no other.

Designed to be much more than a traditional book fair, Page & Pen transforms Oviedo Mall into a gathering place for readers of all ages, with opportunities to discover new authors, shop for books and bookish merchandise, participate in interactive activities and spend the day surrounded by fellow readers. “For a lot of us, the book fair was one of the best days of the school year,” said Josh Gunderson, Marketing & Events Director for Oviedo Mall. “There was something about walking into a room filled with books, getting to choose something completely for yourself and knowing you were going home with a new story. We want Page & Pen to capture a little bit of that feeling again, just on a much bigger scale. The difference is now we're adults, nobody can tell us we already have enough books, and there is a bar.” More than 100 participating authors will represent a wide variety of genres, giving guests the opportunity to meet writers, purchase signed books and discover stories they may not otherwise encounter. Independent booksellers, artists and bookish makers will round out the event with literary gifts, accessories, artwork and more. Page & Pen will also feature activities throughout the day designed to make the event an experience for both dedicated readers and casual visitors. Young readers can take part in the Great Book Worm Hunt, searching throughout the event for bookworms hidden around Oviedo Mall. Adults looking for a greater challenge can tackle The Plot Hunt, a literary riddle-based scavenger hunt that sends participants searching for clues hidden throughout the mall while attempting to avoid a few carefully placed red herrings along the way. Additional interactive activities and surprises will be available throughout the event, giving guests plenty to explore between author visits. For readers who prefer their plot twists served over ice, Page & Pen will also feature a specialty pop-up bar with a menu of themed drinks created specifically for the event, including both alcoholic and non- alcoholic options. The event continues Oviedo Mall’s growing calendar of unconventional community events designed to give Central Florida residents new reasons to gather, discover local creators and experience the mall in unexpected ways. “Some of our favorite memories are tied to experiences that were incredibly simple, Gunderson said. “Picking out a book at the school book fair, spending an afternoon at the mall, finding something you didn't know you were looking for. Page & Pen brings some of those feelings together while introducing people to more than 100 authors and creators who are making entirely new stories for us to discover. If someone walks out carrying a bag of books and feeling even a little bit like the kid who couldn't wait to start reading on the ride home, we've done what we set out to do.” Page & Pen Book Fair will take place Saturday, October 3rd from 11am-5pm, at Oviedo Mall, located at 1700 Oviedo Mall Boulevard in Oviedo, Florida. Admission is free and open to the public. For more information about Oviedo Mall, upcoming events, and tenant listings, visit www.myoviedomall.com.
