The Silver Scream Spook Show is BACK for Halloween! Well, on Saturday the 23rd at 1 & 10PM… AND…remember to sport your most SPOOKTACULAR costume for our annual Halloween costume contest!

Kids under 12 are free at the 1PM matinee show; everyone else is $7. All 10PM night show tickets are $10.

The Silver Scream Spook Show is a 30 minute live stage show filled with magic tricks, dancing girls, jokes, spectacle and frights! We follow it with a classic horror movie on actual 35mm film!

Here’s the scoop on this month’s movie, Tales of Terror:

Roger Corman’s Tales of Terror stars Vincent Price in a trio of short stories, liberally adapted by Richard Matheson from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. The film gets off to a rousing start with “Morella,” in which Price’s bitterness over the long-ago death of his wife results in tragedy for his estranged daughter Maggie Pierce. The last of the three terror-filled tales, “The Case of Mr. Valdemar,” finds Price being put into a state of suspended animation by the diabolical Basil Rathbone; when Rathbone claims Price’s bride Debra Paget for himself, Price briefly revives, only to melt before our eyes (this horrific image was reproduced on the film’s advertising posters). The film’s best story is its centerpiece, “The Black Cat,” which weaves elements of “The Cask of Amontillado” into a mordantly funny revenge tale concerning Price, his bitter enemy Peter Lorre, and Lorre’s two-timing wife Joyce Jameson. This is the one in which a besotted Lorre walls up Price and Jameson in his cellar, then endures a hellish hallucination of Vincent and Joyce playing a football game with his head! A mixed bag, to be sure, but Tales of Terror remains one of the best of Corman’s Poe cycle.

Here’s the summary:

From their lunar outpost, alien forces wreak havoc by simultaneously setting free all the monsters of yore, from Godzilla to Ghidrah. Only the United Nations Starship Moonlight SY3 can save the citizens of Earth from utter chaos and imminent trampling. This film from GODZILLA’s Ishiro Honda has so many monsters, you’ll swear you could smell the rubber suits. DESTROY ALL MONSTERS was filmed in Nikkatsu Scope.

Kids under 12 are free at the 1PM matinee, everyone else is only $6. For the night show, all tickets are $10.

Here’s the scoop about the movie:

At the end of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, the Invisible Man, voiced by none other than Vincent Price, introduces himself to the bumbling duo. Vincent Price would not meet Abbott and Costello in their next monster film, but the Invisible Man would. Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man is one of the comedy duo’s greatest films, surpassed only by Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. The movie is also one of the greatest films in Universal’s “Invisible Man” series that began with The Invisible Man in 1933 and continued with The Invisible Man Returns, The Invisible Woman, Invisible Agent, and The Invisible Man’s Revenge. This 1951 film was the last “Invisible Man” film that Universal made.

The plot is very similar to the film The Invisible Man Returns, a film that did feature Vincent Price as the title character. Bud and Lou are two private detectives that are hired by boxer Tommy Nelson (Arthur Franz) to clear his name for a murder he didn’t commit. His fiancée Helen (Nancy Guild) is the niece of a scientist (Gavin Muir) that was friends with Jack Griffin; the original Invisible Man. Helen’s uncle had preserved the Invisibility serum. Tommy injects himself, ignoring the warnings that the serum can bring about insanity. Bud, Lou, and the Invisible Man are on the track of the mobsters that framed Tommy while trying to stay clear of the police that are on Nelson’s track. Television legends Sheldon Leonard (producer of “The Andy Griffith Show” and “The Dick Van Dyke Show”) and William Frawley (Fred Mertz from “I Love Lucy”) play the mob leader and a police detective.

“After arriving in Haiti to meet her fiance, a blushing bride-to-be is quickly transformed into a pallid, soulless body by creepy voodoo master Bela Lugosi, at the behest of a jealous rival who desires her. Made for $50,000 in 11 days in 1932, this interesting horror film relies more on visuals and atmosphere than dialogue, and remains one of Lugosi’s best films from the classic era of horror.”
