FREAKS AND MONSTERS

Join film historian Glenn Andreiev for a gripping talk about the dark, bone-chilling films of macabre movie mavericks Tod Browning and James Whale
Tod Browning and James Whale's classic horror films still continue to amaze and chill audiences. Join in on the fun as returning film scholar Glenn Andreiev presents an evening class examining the lives, films and careers of these innovated masters of fright. Film clips and rare stills from such Browning/Whale classics as The Unknown (with Lon Chaney FRANKFrankenstein0616and a sultry Joan Crawford), Dracula, The Invisible Man, Frankenstein, Freaks, The Bride of Frankenstein and more- fill the evening with info and thrills!

What shocking tidbits were censored from Browning's ground-breaking horror fable, Freaks? Is Browning's silent vampire film London After Midnight, considered the "holy grail" of lost films, out there somewhere? If James Whale directed Dracula's Daughter, as originally intended, how twisted and shocking would that film have been? How come, at the height of their films artistic and money-making zeniths, did the studios halt the careers of both Browning and Whale? Come to the dark corners of the Cinema and find out!
