Alamo Drafthouse’s “Raccoon City Cinema” Event Features Free Screenings and ‘Resident Evil’-Themed Menu!
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 press release hypes that 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 “Racoon 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
“Racoon 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.
