Spectral Cinema: Film Frights for Friday the 13thPost an Event »
A selection of obscure horror shorts, haunting excerpts and spooky-kooky cartoons from the 1930s-1980s. Anjelica Huston stars in the made-for-tv adaptation of William Faulkner's Victorian haunter A Rose for Emily (1983). A man's conscience and a ghostly heartbeat won't allow him to get away with murder in a noiresque version of Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart (1971). Spencer Tracy imagines a Hell full of thousands of writhing bathing beauties in a haunting excerpt from Dante's Inferno (1935). Betty Boop and Cab Calloway team up for one of the best (and spookiest) cartoons of the collection Minnie the Moocher (1932). Richard Burton narrates Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s ghostly Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1977), brought to life by director John Ryan with a lucid style of stop-motion animation using la yered paper cutouts. Watch the rise of the original queen of the undead in excerpts from James Whale's stunning Horror masterpiece The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Interpretive dancing spirits tear up an Old West ghost town in an excerpt from John Byner's Something Else (1970), a short-lived and incredibly rare musical television program. Plus, a crypt full of vintage Horror Trailers and more spooky surprises, spend your Friday the 13th right...with a fright!
