Cinema Obscura is a curated film screening program focused on cult, experimental, and unconventional cinema, created by Aike Lutkemoller and Frank Schonewille many years ago.

In the early days, the films were never announced in advance and the spectators discover them either through the introduction by the organizers or even during the screening itself.

The program is challenging, controversial and unique. Each screening is meant to be a special experience, beginning at the moment you sit down in our vintage cinema chairs from 1936. You are invited to react, interact, discuss, scream, laugh and embrace the shared discovery of strange films.

Cinema Obscura will run throughout the year with a monthly screening. Some films will be announced, some will remain a mystery…

Cinema Obscura: Film Night 

On April 18, Sickhouse becomes one of the stages of 

, the showcase festival that turns the city into a playground for new music.

Every year, Booster brings together dozens of emerging artists performing across multiple venues, presenting the most exciting new sounds from the east of the Netherlands to audiences and music professionals alike. Expect a night full raw energy, and fresh talent pushing music forward.

At Sickhouse, we will host some sonic explorers delivering everything from noisy guitars and restless electronics to strange pop experiments and unexpected hybrids.

So wander through the city, follow the sound, and step inside Sickhouse for a night of new music.

More details about the lineup and times will be announced soon.

BOOSTER Festival at Sickhouse

From the depths of dusty film cans, late-night television broadcast, forgotten drive-ins and questionable basements… the monsters are returning, one by one.

 is a new cinematic ritual devoted to the glorious age of monsters, mostly from before 1970, and occasionally after, if the creature insists.

Every Monday night we summon all vampires, mutants, swamp creatures, radioactive nightmares, gothic specters, and all the beautiful horrors that crawled out of the golden age of monster movies.

The films will remain a surprise. We will discover it together in the dark…

Before the screening begins, we enter a one-minute meditation guided by the sacred mantra of 

 to properly align mind, body and monster spirit. Then the lights go down.

Grab a drink. Take a seat. Eyes wide open.
