Curated by David Bertrand

Handsome, shallow, and ultra-muscular, Jim Queen is a gay influencer content to live off his looks. Thin, insecure, and closeted, Lucien is one of Jim’s many followers. When the gym-bod god gets infected with Heterosis — a drug manufactured by the far-right that causes heterosexuality — the two men must join forces and find a cure for straightness before Jim’s online clout runs out.

Brought to life by directors Marco Nguyen and Nicolas Athané, JIM QUEEN is a perfect satirical creation: Jim’s vanity and superficiality make for a great sendup of gay “body fascism”. Of course, the filmmakers reserve much of their scorn for homophobic conservatism, and the inversion of homo- and heterosexuality is provocative and hilarious. From the opening musical number to the spoof of conversion therapy to an outrageous Trojan-horse gag and beyond, JIM QUEEN is a raucous delight.

Audience Award, VIFF 2026

"An adoring celebration of queer culture and a spoofy critique of internet fame, 'Jim Queen' is strictly for grown-ups who don’t need polite jokes to laugh with and at its lovable characters. It’s a riot." (ELLE Magazine)

"It’s an animated charmer that blends raunch and warmth into a memorable gem." (RogerEbert.com)

"'Jim Queen' has the tender heart of a Disney classic and the raging libido of that one unmentionable weekend in Puerto Vallarta." (Cinapse)

The Rio Theatre's annual deep-dive into Halloween movie goodness continues on Sunday, October 26 with a 50th Anniversary screening of Brian de Palma's CARRIE.

In this chilling adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel, withdrawn and sensitive teen Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) faces taunting from classmates at school and abuse from her fanatically pious mother (Piper Laurie) at home. When strange occurrences start happening around Carrie, she begins to suspect that she has supernatural powers. Invited to the prom by the empathetic Tommy Ross (William Katt), Carrie tries to let her guard down, but things eventually take a dark and violent turn. With John Travolta, Amy Irving, Betty Buckley.

"'Carrie' is a terrifying lyrical thriller. The director, Brian De Palma, has mastered a teasing style -- a perverse mixture of comedy and horror and tension." (New Yorker)

"It opens with an insidiously brilliant update of Psycho's shower scene and ends with a jump scare that Hitchcock would have envied; in between, it's merely the tenderest and most affecting movie ever made out of one of King's novels." (The Ringer)

As always, audience costumes (including ghoulish 70s prom attire!) are very welcome - and encouraged!

CARRIE (Brian De Palma, 1976 / 98 mins / 18A) Carrie White, a shy, friendless teenage girl who is sheltered by her domineering, religious mother, unleashes her telekinetic powers after being humiliated by her classmates at her senior prom.

Now is the time.
This is the hour.
Ours is the magic.
Ours is the power.

Unleash your inner-90’s witchy-self and get into the Halloween spirit with a 30th Anniversary, prime time screening of THE CRAFT.

THE CRAFT (Andrew Fleming, 1996 / 111 mins) When newcomer Sarah moves to a new city with her family to start a new life, she makes fast friends with some of the girls in her schoool who are just as “on the fringe” as she is. A shared interest in the occult goes further than they expected as they each attain unusual powers. What starts out as good fun soon turns dangerous.

THE PROPHET OF ECSTASY explores themes of art, politics and consciousness through the improbable life of Michael Clegg, the former Catholic priest who introduced MDMA to the world - a drug he would later dub ‘Ecstasy’. The documentary will take viewers on a wild ride, from Clegg’s life as an MDMA drug kingpin, to his present-day transformation as an enlightened yogi. It also examines how the destinies of Michael Clegg, chemist Carina Leveriza, and psychedelics advocate Rick Doblin, are inexorably bound with that of the socio-cultural explosion of MDMA through its epic journey of discovery, criminalization, and re-emergence from the shadows.

The Rio Theatre's deep dive into Halloween classics continues on October 26 with a 30th Anniversary screening Wes Craven's game-changing 1996 slasher comedy (yes, that's a thing) SCREAM.

"Horror icon Wes Craven's subversive deconstruction of the genre is sly, witty, and surprisingly effective as a slasher film itself, even if it's a little too cheeky for some." (Rotten Tomatoes)

"No one will ever consider Wes Craven's 'Scream' as Oscar fodder, but this funny and scary little experiment in terror from the man who invented "Nightmare on Elm Street" puts some fun back into a very tired genre." (Newsweek)

SCREAM (Wes Craven 1996 /  111 min / 14A) The sleepy little town of Woodsboro just woke up screaming. There's a killer in their midst who's seen a few too many scary movies. Suddenly nobody is safe, as the psychopath stalks victims, taunts them with trivia questions, then rips them to bloody shreds. It could be anybody...

It was Colonel Mustard in the billiard room with a candlestick...

Based on the popular board game CLUE, this live-action adaptation received mixed reviews upon release, but in the years since it has taken on a life of its own and become a total cult movie - perfect for inclusion in the Rio's Halloween movie calendar! Even better? This 40th Anniversary edition has been re-mastered with all THREE of the film's original "alternative" endings - and we get to choose it! So prepare yourself for a totally different ending to CLUE than the one you've seen in a theatre before...

Set in the McCarhty-esque 1950s, CLUE finds six colorful dinner guests gathered at the mansion of their host, Mr. Boddy -- who turns up dead after his secret is exposed: He was blackmailing all of them. With the killer among them, the guests and Boddy's chatty butler must suss out the culprit before the body count rises. Starring Tim Curry, Eileen Brennan, Martin Mull, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Leslie Ann Warren, and Michael McKean.

Costumes welcome... And encouraged!!!

The Rio Theatre's annual deep dive into Halloween-y movie goodness continues on Thursday, October 29 - in 3D! Join us for a 35th Anniversary screening of  director Rachel Talalay's sixth installment of the iconic 'A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise, 1991's FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE.

Newly restored in 2026, the film sees one of cinema's most enduring nightmares reaching a bold and chilling climax as the dream-stalking Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) extends his reign of terror beyond Elm Street and into the lives of a new generation. Haunted by recurring visions and unexplained fears, therapist Maggie Burroughs is drawn toward the dark secrets of Springwood, where the truth behind her nightmares may be buried. Joined by the mysterious John, the defiant Tracy, Carlos, Spencer, and mentor Doc, Maggie is pulled into a surreal battle where dreams become deadly traps and reality can no longer be trusted. As Freddy's supernatural power grows stronger, long-hidden secrets from the past threaten to unlock horrors that should have remained buried forever. With Lisa Zane, Shon Greenblatt, Lezlie Deane, Ricky Dean Logan, Breckin Meyer, Yaphet Kotto.

Director Rachel Talalay will be on-hand to intro and chat about the film - the first theatrical screening of the new, 3D restoration!

FREDDY'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE (Rachel Talalay, 1991 / 89 minutes / 14A) Murderous ghoul Freddy Krueger has slaughtered every last child in his hometown. He ventures on to a new location, scouting fresh young victims to hack up with his finger blades. He arrives in a small town in which his long-lost daughter, Maggie, works as a therapist for troubled youths. Furthermore, he attempts to recruit her for his dastardly pursuits, but she has other ideas. Father and daughter meet for a bloody showdown that will determine Freddy's fate once and for all.

"The power of Christ compels you!"

Five decades after its release, director William Friedkin's supernatural horror classic THE EXORCIST still remains one of the most frightening films ever made. Based on the hugely popular novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty (who also wrote the screenplay), the film was both a massive commercial and critical success, garnering an impressive ten Academy Award nominations (including one for Best Picture). As terrifying today as it was upon its release in 1973, Friedkin's hugely influential movie remains one of the most profitable horror movies (though he prefers you not call it a “horror film,” but rather, a “theological thriller”) ever made. The enduring popularity of THE EXORCIST makes it one of the Rio Theatre's most requested titles, and a divine choice for a "Devil's Night" screening on October 30.

Based loosely on actual events, the story follows 12 year-old Regan (Linda Blair, in a breakout performance), whose increasingly odd behaviour goes beyond what one would normally expect from a pubescent young woman (levitating, speaking in tongues). When her fraught mother (Ellen Burstyn) hits a dead end after seeking medical help, she turns to the Church. A local priest (Jason Miller), is convinced Regan is under the devil's control, and makes a request to perform an exorcism with the help of one of their more experienced experts (a perfectly cast Max von Sydow).

"The movie that launched a new era in horror films, and which, for one generation, remains one of the scariest experiences of their lives." (New York Daily News)

"The film is a triumph of special effects. Never for a moment--not when the little girl is possessed by the most disgusting of spirits, not when the bed is banging and the furniture flying and the vomit is welling out--are we less than convinced. The film contains brutal shocks, almost indescribable obscenities. That it received an R rating and not the X is stupefying." (Roger Ebert)

THE EXORCIST (William Friedkin, 1973 / 121 mins / 18 A) 12-year-old Regan MacNeil begins to adapt an explicit new personality as strange events befall the local area of Georgetown. Her mother becomes torn between science and superstition in a desperate bid to save her daughter, and ultimately turns to her last hope: Father Damien Karras, a troubled priest who is struggling with his own faith.

The COAST MOUNTAIN FILM FEST turns the Rio Theatre over to snowboarders for a late-night throwback to one of the most memorable team films of its era.

CAPiTA: DEFENDERS OF AWESOME hit screens in 2011 with a stacked roster of riders and quickly became a snapshot of an incredible period in snowboard culture. Featuring some of the biggest names in the sport — including nominees for 'Men’s Rider of the Year,' 'Women’s Rider of the Year' and 'Rookie of the Year' — it delivers huge riding, unmistakable style and the energy of classic snowboard filmmaking.

Now CAPiTA: DEFENDERS OF AWESOME is coming back to the big screen for a proper throwback celebration.

Grab your crew and join a theatre full of snowboarders for films, prizes, good times and a healthy dose of nostalgia as we get ready for another winter in the mountains. And, sure, we’ll show some amazing shorts from the 2026 season too!

Copies of Justin's book will be available for purchasing and signing at the event.

In Searching for the Best Place on Earth, Vancouver journalist Justin McElroy embarks on an ambitious trip, visiting nearly every “world-class” city on the planet.

His personal mission was to see the world—as well as to rank as many things as he could, from cuisines to museums to national train systems. His professional mission was to see how Vancouver truly compares. Does BC’s celebrated identity hold up?

As a neurodivergent traveller, McElroy is also frank about sensory overload, but once on the road, he’s surprised by how comfortably he adapts to a new routine of being a tourist for a year.

With his signature wit and deep knowledge of his home province, McElroy offers a fresh perspective on what makes a city truly exceptional—and whether BC still deserves its reputation as the “best place on earth.”

“Justin McElroy... captures and defines what a world-class city is... A good read that I recommend you pick up.”

—Mike Harcourt, former mayor of Vancouver and premier of British Columbia

“What is a world class city? In Searching for the Best Place on Earth, Justin McElroy brings his endlessly curious eye to that question. The result is a smart, warm and often very funny travelogue—and one of the funnest books about cities I’ve read in ages.” —Charles Montgomery, author of Happy City

“Truly a joy to read, Searching for the Best Place on Earth is as much an in-depth, world travel guide as it is a look into the curious life and mind of one of British Columbia’s finest reporters.” —Bob Kronbauer, host of Now You Know BC, CHEK TV

Join us for a dark and stormy Fall!

Full cast reveal coming soon!

HASSAM, OH MY DOG RECARGADO
Porque todos llevamos un ñero dentro

Una historia de vida mi perri contada con humor y música pero bien ñera

No es lo que piensa no llevo patecabra.

HASSAM, OH MY DOG: RELOADED
Because we all have a bit of a street-smart hustler inside

A real-life story—told with humor, music, and plenty of street attitude—coming straight to you.

"Oh My Dog: Reloaded" brings the show to Vancouver to make you laugh. Watch your wallet, though—he’s back with a vengeance and his own unique style, turning the posh crowd into street-smart hustlers and the honest folks into crooks... We’ll explore life’s toughest moments in an experience full of laughter, reflection, and hope.

For nearly two hours, I’ll have you cracking up as I prove that we all have a bit of that street-smart hustler inside—even if you deny it and think you’re all fancy now. I’ve got the ultimate tool to face adversity, celebrate life, and find reasons to keep moving forward. And no—it’s not what you think; I’m not carrying a crowbar.

It’s a show that’ll make you laugh—and if you don’t, the organizers say they’ll refund your ticket money. Don’t feel alone; even in the hardest times, there’s always room for a smile. See you in November!

Matthew Bowman is a lonely call center employee living an apathetic and confusing life.

Feeling a spur of uncharacteristic spontaneity, Matthew accepts an invitation to a local punk show. At this show he meets another young man, Jacob Mauser. Matthew sees in Jacob what he lacks in himself, confidence, charisma, and a sense of purpose.

As the election looms, Matthew's eyes are opened to Jacob and his friends' vastly different worldview. One of sex, drugs and protest.

After an evening of lsd infused partying, Matthew Bowman wakes up in his car on the side of a dirt road... And discovers something that will forever change the course of his life, forcing him to reckon with the nightmare that his life has unraveled into, along with the battlefield his mind has become.

However, his life takes a devastating turn when a check-up for a lingering cough reveals a shocking diagnosis: a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Forced to return home and undergo treatment, Shalin confronts the fundamental question: what is the true meaning of life when faced with limited time? Paper Flowers is a poignant and inspirational journey of love, loss, and hope.  It serves as a roadmap to cherish the moments we have and to remember to stop and enjoy every sunset.

LET IT BE DONE: The Fiat Echoes Still is an original musical that connects Mary’s courageous “Yes” to God with the struggles of today’s generation.

Set between biblical Nazareth and the modern world, the story follows Mary as she embraces God’s calling, while Anna faces her own struggles with doubt, identity, expectations, and finding her place in the world—mirroring the challenges many young people experience today.

Through all-original songs, drama, and powerful transitions between past and present, the musical reminds us that questions of faith, purpose, belonging, and hope transcend time.

SHAWN CHIDIAC is the man behind @myparents_are_divorced and all the voices that come with him. Lebanese, born in Canada. Raised in Dubai by a single mum. Followed by over 1.1 million people across social media who watch him turn into other people, the accents, the characters, the impressions that feel like someone from your own family. With his mass of online success it has allowed him to sell out venues such as Dubai Opera.

Live, he does it right in front of you. He writes every word himself. The characters come out, the accents land, and stories from his own mixed-up childhood turn into jokes that feel like they're about yours. That's the whole idea.

'BEST LIVE PRODUCTION' Canadian Comedy Award Winner

★★★★★ “Extremely Funny!”UK Fringe Review

“The show is suitable for both men and women. An entertaining ride where anything goes.” Rip It Up Magazine

"One of the most hilarious shows I've ever seen." Vancouver Sun

www.thecomicstrippers.com

Psychic Standup is a show unlike any other. KAREN RONTOWSKI combines her 35 years as a standup comic with her 25 years of tarot reading and the results are predictably hilarious. Karen has two DryBar Comedy Specials that currently have over 50 million views and has been seen on the Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central, Comics Unleashed, ComedyDotCom as well as Sirius XM Radio. The show consists of 30-40 minutes of standup and then Karen pulls out the Tarot Cards and takes questions from the crowd. Her incredible improv skills keep the crowd entertained whether they are believers or not. There is something for the serious psychic patron as well as the serious skeptic. Every show is unique and the future never looked so funny. You don’t have to believe or even be open minded, you just have to be ready to laugh.

Real tarot, real funny.
