"Haunted" Films at Haunted Places! (2 of 5)














Date: October 10th (Sunday)
Time: 7:30 Movie: "Haunted Castle" (1921)
Location: An actual Haunted Castle

GHOULA is working with the EPFC Filmmobile to present a series of free outdoor screenings every Sunday in October at a different haunted site. Each evening will consist of a "haunted" movie, guest speaker, a discussion of the location's ghost(s), and maybe some other activities. (Don't forget to bring a chair.)

(Note: GHOULA and the EPFC Filmmobile will only disclose the actual location 24 hours before showtime. So, check out their facebook page for the exact directions to this screening, or just check out the GHOULA site the day before.)

This Sunday's movie, "Haunted Castle" is the earliest surviving example of horror pioneer, F.W. Murnau's work (that has been released to video). Of his 21 films, nine are lost, nine are with us and on video and three exist only in archives. At a weekend gathering in a castle, a man suspected of murdering his own brother (but never convicted) shows up suddenly. His brother's widow also shows up with her new husband and resents the man's presence but for reasons other than what we assume. There are family secrets and our anti-hero is here to expose them and the real murderer.

Check this site 24 hours before this event to get directions to the haunted location of this evening's screening.

Future "Haunted Films at Haunted Places" will feature....

October 17th, "House on Haunted Hill" (1999) @ a real haunted hospital.

October 24th, "House on Haunted Hill" (1959) @ the original haunted hill.

October 31th, "Haunted Silent Shorts" @ a haunted 1920's hotel.

I wrote about this... then heard You responsible --for wanting to scare the heck outta LA peeps... does your 'service' include stand-by ambulance? Have you considered: inviting Christine O'Donnell? Maybe she would like the publicity, since she doesn't talk to 'main' media...lol.
