In anticipation of CAPCOM’s Resident Evil Requiem, launching February 27, 2026, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is unveiling RACCOON CITY CINEMA, a film series event inspired by the enduring legacy of the iconic survival horror franchise. The month-long series begins February 6 at select Alamo Drafthouse locations, and features four films that mirror Resident Evil’s core obsessions: containment failures, creeping paranoia, and the consequences of experiments that should never have left the lab.
Admission to RACCOON CITY CINEMA screenings is free with the purchase of a food and beverage voucher, redeemable at the shows. The series brings four unsettling films back to the big screen:
- THE THING (1982, dir. John Carpenter)
- THE RING (2002, dir. Gore Verbinski)
- THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (2012, dir. Drew Goddard)
- LONGLEGS (2024, dir. Osgood Perkins)
All screenings will also feature a limited-time, Resident Evil-inspired menu created exclusively for the series. Guests can expect playful nods to the games, including:
- JILL’S SANDWICH – Inspired by the iconic line from the original Resident Evil Double all-beef patties with two strips of applewood smoked bacon, melty cheese, pickles, & special burger sauce on a butter toasted bun. Served with fries & ketchup.
- RED + GREEN HERB HOT DOG COMBO – A classic item combination from the Resident Evil series Restore your strength with this smoked hotdog topped with a green herb chimichurri, red chorizo, & sliced avocado. Served with fries & ketchup.
- BINGO! FRIED CHICKEN – Inspired by Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 4 Boneless chicken wings tossed in a red chile, ginger, garlic, & paprika spice blend, garnished with a drizzle of thyme-hot honey & fresh cut cilantro. Served with fries, celery & green herb ranch dressing.
- T-VIRUS COCKTAIL – Inspired by Umbrella Corporation Hendrick’s Gin, blackberry, tonic, lime
- BLUE UMBRELLA SERUM – Inspired by Blue Umbrella’s post Raccoon City mission Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Blue Curaçao, Sea Blue Red Bull, lemon, orange, cherry, mint
RACCOON CITY CINEMA offers fans a chance to revisit genre classics through the lens of one of gaming’s most influential horror worlds, just ahead of Resident Evil Requiem’s release. Timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the original 1996 Resident Evil game for PlayStation®, RACCOON CITY CINEMA celebrates one of the most influential and best-selling horror franchises of all time, with more than 170 million copies sold worldwide as of March 2025.
