THE FIRST HORROR MOVIES, a Halloween special
The First Horrors from the Silent Screen. A Halloween Special. Horror movies go back to the birth of the movie industry. Galen Wilkes hosts this special Halloween show featuring some of the earliest horror films ever made, going back to 1896. The venue is a wonderful 19th century parlor in a Victorian mansion. The program opens with examples of special effects invented by George Melies in the 1890s. These became standard effects in many horror films for the next 50 years. You'll be treated to witches, conjuring devils, a vignette of Edgar Allan Poe, and classic horror characters Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, and Dorian Gray. The program will end with a bonus hand-drawn Felix the Cat cartoon for Halloween. Historic theater announcement slides dating from cinema's earliest years are also included. An outstanding, rare treat for Halloween fans! Very limited seating. 7:00 - 8:45 pm
