The title screen for The Abominable Dr. Phibes has the title in large light blue letters in a real creepy art-deco type style. The title is over a background of a wall behind indoor trees with, in the center, steps leading up to something that is difficult to see but which is actually an organ with Dr. Phibes (Vincent Price) playing. He is wearing a large black cloak with a hood and has his back to the audience.
We are delighted to announce that our film for our 4 February Film Club (7pm Irish time) will be the 1971 classic The Abominable Dr. Phibes, a truly gothic love story. You can register to receive a link to watch the film & then join our discussion here: www.eventbrite.ie/e/1421842121...

Hey folks,
I'm making my book group read 'Venoni' by Matthew Lewis and I wondered if any of my Gothic and Romanticism friends would be interested in doing a live reading/dramatic performance. The more drama, the better!
Give me a shout if you could be into it!
Tonight! Our film club discussion of "Let's Scare Jessica to Death." Everyone is welcome, but registration is necessary. See the link below.

I watched this film for the first time in my grandparent's house, during a critical "banging on walls" scene my uncle knocked on the outside of the window behind me because he'd forgotten his keys and I nearly expired with fright.
The poster for the 1963 movie The Haunting shows a sort of elongated face of a woman who looks terrified. Below her is a logo for the film, which is a stylized sort of image that looks like a house but also like a maze with a woman trapped inside. The tagline says "You May Not Believe in Ghosts But You Cannot Deny Terror"
Our next online film club discussion will take place on 6 August at 7pm Irish time! We're discussing The Haunting, Robert Wise's 1963 adaptation of Shirley Jackson's masterpiece! Free registration will get you access to the film & zoom links. Open to all! www.eventbrite.ie/e/inghs-film...
