Our MovieNight Hallowe’en special brought in a surprisingly large crowd… great to see some faces that had been missing for ages! The Blu-ray disc of Frankenstein was shiny and crisp, but there seem to have been a few alterations to the original. I don’t know it well enough, but Norris seemed to thing that was the case. Speaking of Norris (and speaking to Norris), thank you for suggesting the entire program this week! I was unfamiliar with the erotic, sometimes plotless work of director Jean Rollin, but The Nude Vampire was compelling viewing for the surprise part II of our double feature! The backup plan involved fading down the sound and fading up a spooky musical playlist, but folks stayed put, with their eyes on the screen. And, oh yeah… I wonder if Kubrick watched La vampire nue. Duh! Eyes Wide Shut!
