Retrofantasma is a monthly film series that shows classic horror movies. This month is Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) and Tourist Trap (1979). http://festivals.carolinatheatre.org/retrofantasma/ I would also suggest checking out any of the local Farmer's Markets. I will be at the Durham Farmer's Market in downtown Durham on Saturday morning. You can go there first, and check out the Art Walk afterward. http://www.durhamfarmersmarket.com/ A couple other recommendations:
