Can’t sleep? Making your way to the Coolidge Corner Theater for a late-night screening of a weird and/or creepy movie isn’t going to help you catch any Zs, but it’ll keep you focused and place you among like-minded viewers.

Though the continuing series of freaky films is called “Coolidge After Midnite,” all of them in January’s weekend lineup actually start before the witching hour – some at 11:30, some at 11:59.

Here’s what they’ve got programmed for the month, along with dates of release and running times. Further information on each title can be found at https://www.imdb.com.

The real concern here is whether or not you’ll be able to sleep after seeing some of these.
