Edmond Town Hall has three weekends of special seasonal movie screenings planned this month. Tickets for all weekends are already on sale.

Corpse Bride, the 2005 stop-motion animated musical comedy rated PG and featuring the vocal talents of Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp, et al, will be screened at 45 Main Street the weekend of October 12-15.

Screenings are planned on Thursday at 7:30 pm, and then Friday and Sunday at 1 and 7:30. A special event in the theater on October 14 means no screenings will be done on Saturday.

Tickets for all screenings are $3.50. They will be available at the box office prior to each show. They can also be purchased in advance at edmondtownhall.org.

Rocky Horror Picture Show will return to Newtown’s big screen October 20-22. Five screenings of the 1975 cult classic are planned: Friday at 7 and 9:30 pm, Saturday at 7 and 9 pm, and Sunday at 7.

Tickets for Friday and Sunday are $15 each, with optional prop bags available for $6 in advance or $8 at the door. Costumes and audience participation are strongly encouraged.

At both shows on Saturday, 7 and 9 pm, a shadow cast will join the event.

Tickets for those shows are $25 each (prop bags are the same price).

Then for the weekend ahead of Halloween, Ingersoll Auto of Danbury is covering the cost of tickets for all six scheduled screenings of Coraline.

The 2009 stop motion animated dark fantasy horror film, rated PG and featuring the vocal talents of Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Saunders, among others, will be shown at 1 and 7:30 pm Friday through Sunday, October 27-29.

How do you propose tapping the brakes, Dave? 8-30g already trumps any local regulations- you don't have a brake pedal to push. Brookfield, Trumbull and now Ridgefield have a clear case for a moratorium based on the development (thanks to 8-30g) that has already occurred. I don't see a clear case for Newtown to request a moratorium... yet.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.
