Double the Fright, Double the Fun!
Join us on Saturday, October 26th, for a spine-tingling double bill featuring:
- “Island of Lost Souls” (1932) – 2:30 p.m. & 7:00 p.m. Based on H.G. Wells’ eerie novel “The Island of Doctor Moreau,” this pre-code horror masterpiece tells the tale of a stranded sailor who stumbles upon a mad doctor’s (Charles Laughton) twisted experiments to transform animals into humans. With a star-studded cast, including Bela Lugosi, this film is a must-see for horror aficionados.
- “Mystery of the Wax Museum” (1933) – 2:30 p.m. & 7:00 p.m. (following “Island of Lost Souls”) Witness one of the first horror films to utilize two-color Technicolor, now beautifully restored to its former glory. This suspenseful thriller follows a reporter (Glenda Farrell) as she unravels the dark secrets behind a wax museum, where the sinister sculptor (Lionel Atwill) may be hiding more than just wax figures…
