As Always, All Our Show Are Still Presented Exclusively From High Resolution 35mm Motion Picture Film With Genuine Carbon Arc Projection, On Our Giant 50 Foot Wide Screen.
For October, three Halloween favorites. We recommend attending with someone who’s blood is above room temperature.
Friday October 28rd at 8:00pm – The House On Haunted Hill (1958)
Starring Vincent Price, Directed by William Castle. (175 minutes, B&W)
Wealthy Vincent Price challenges seven people to spend the night in a haunted house. Those who make it through the night will be paid $10,000, assuming they are still alive… Presented with EMERGO! William Castle’s grandson will be there to talk about his legendary grandfather, the making of The House on Haunted Hill and to raffle off a copy of the newly released “House On Haunted Hill: A William Castle Annotated Screamplay” – the newly published script for the movie with Castle’s handwritten notes.
Saturday October 29th at 6:00pm – Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
Starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, Bela Lugosi & Lon Chaney, Jr. (83 minutes, B&W)
This movie is really two-for-one because in addition to Abbott & Costello, the three most iconic characters of Universal Picture's now legendary classic horror are brought together here: Dracula is in search of a "simple, pliable" brain with which to revive the long dormant Frankenstein Monster. It turns out that the "ideal" brain belongs to the hapless Lou Costello. Soon, Laurence Talbot, better known as The Wolf Man, arrives to warn Costello and his pal Bud Abbott about Dracula's plans. Both horror and hilarity ensue.
Saturday October 29th at 8:15pm – The Cabinet Of Doctor Caligari (1919)
Starring Werner Krauss, Conrad Veidt. Directed by Robert Wiene. (71 minutes, B&W)
Silent film to be accompanied by Wayne Zimmerman at the organ.
Featuring highly stylized, often nightmare-like sets, stark lighting and shadows, and angled cinematography perfectly fit its theme of madness and disorientation, and made it perhaps the most visually striking movie yet produced. It defined the look of German Expressionist cinema -- which went on to influence American horror films, Orson Welles, Film Noir, Hitchcock, and more.
