There are few things in life more comforting, enriching and soothing to the soul than a good old fashioned trashy horror film. Over at the ‘we bet you’ve never been there’ Cinema Museum at the moment they’re having a bit of a low budget horror moment and we couldn’t be more excited. A ticket also gives you access to the museum which includes scary mannequins, oversized dolls, and pics of long dead horror stars to get you into the spirit of things. And they have a licenced bar.
Friday 14.3. The Return of Dr. X (1939) and Planet of the Vampires (1965)
Billed as being ‘for the connoisseur of the macabre’, the latter being aimed at aficionados of cardboard rocks. The former starring Humphrey Bogart in what must have been a true low point in his career.
Saturday, 15.3 The Big Fat Pussycat (1963)
Cheesy pastiche of NYC beatnick culture and featuring a psycho killer who has a penchant for high heels. YES!
Friday, 20.3 Carnival of Souls (1962)
Following a traumatic car accident, a woman becomes drawn to a mysterious abandoned funfair. It’s happened to all of us at some point.
All of these films kick off at 7:30pm and tickets can be grabbed here. And did we mention they have a bar?
If you’d like more information about the museum’s building and how it influenced the work of Charlie Chaplin, of course we’ve written about it.
