Videology Will Close After 15 Years In Williamsburg

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN -- One of Williamsburg's favorite screening rooms will close this month after 15 years on Bedford Avenue, the store owners announced.

Videology will shutter its doors at 308 Bedford Ave. for the last time on Oct. 27, when it will go out kicking with a Halloween costume party, according to a tweet sent out Tuesday morning.

After almost 15 amazing years, Videology will be closing its doors for the last time on October 27th. Thank you so much to all of our loyal and passionate customers. We couldn't have done it without you!

The store originally launched as a video rental space but adapted in 2012 to better suit a generation that binge-watches on Netflix, Brooklyn Vegan reported at the time.

Since then, it has become one Williamsburg's top venues for pairing off-beat movies with drinks, parties and not watching movies on a laptop.

Owners Wendy Chamberlain and James Leet did not clarify why they were closing Videology, but Patch reported in 2017 that they filed suit against the landlord used "baseless" complaints in an attempt to evict them.

One of the last events at the space will be the 'Suspiria' Halloween Costume Party, based on the 1977 horror classic by director Dario Argento, on Oct. 27.
