About this event:
Join us for a screening of James Whale's classic tale that became the template for haunted house movies for decades to come. Featuring a cast including Boris Karloff, Gloria Stuart, Melvyn Douglas, and Charles Laughton this queer coded gem is a delight and perfect for Halloween!
Seeking shelter from a relentless rainstorm and landslides in a remote region of Wales, five travelers are admitted to a large foreboding old house that belongs to the extremely strange Femm family. Sepulchral Horace Femm and his obsessive, inhospitable sister Rebecca are the group’s peculiar hosts. The house also holds surprises - and a brutish mute servant named Morgan.
Registration for this event is appreciated, but not required.
