Saturday Flick Fest

  • CostFree

Join us for a screening of a double feature of two horror film classics.

Castle of Blood (1964) stars the Barbara Steele, the 60's queen of horror films. Interviewing Edgar Allan Poe in a shadowy London pub, journalist Alan Foster questions the veracity of Poe's macabre tales. Poe bets Foster he can't spend the night of All Soul's Eve in the haunted mansion of Poe's friend Lord Blackwood. Every night in Blackwood Castle, the dead rise and re-live their grisly demise. With the help of a beautiful, sympathetic specter, Foster hopes to escape the shadowy castle alive.

Horror Hotel (American title) aka City of the Dead (English title) from 1960 stars Christopher Lee. Young college student Nan Barlow arrives in the sleepy Massachusetts town of Whitewood to research witchcraft. Nan's stay at the eerie Raven's Inn takes a portentous turn when she learns its proprietor Mrs. Newless is the reincarnation of a witch burned at the stake in 1692. The discovery unravels the startling truth about the town: that it is really a coven of witches who have a sinister plan to sacrifice humans so that they can become immortal.

Join us if you love movies and want to get out for a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon. Once a month we will screen a great recent or classic film. There will be popcorn and candy. The audience can also submit title suggestions for future screenings. It will be a joy, so we want to see you there. 

The great Audrey Hepburn once said “Everything I learned, I learned from the movies.” This an in person only event due to screening rights. Contact Ronald Headen by email or call 336-412-6199 for more information.
