The Universal Horror Monster Madness festival features five classic films from Universal Studio, featuring some of their most fun but lesser seen monster movies.  The Black Cat October 21 7:30  p.m., Saturday (Doors open ~ 30 minutes prior to showtime) Scheduled to show on 35mm film 1939 - 1 hour, 39 minutes - Drama, Horror, Sci-Fi Rating: Approved A loose adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe short story, The Black Cat pits a Hungarian psychiatrist against an Austrian architect, with a newlywed couple caught in the middle. The two old foes, with an enmity stemming from their experiences in WW1, match wits by engaging each other in psychological games and spiritual terror. The first of eight films to showcase the talents of both Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, The Black Cat shows the two horror legends at the height of their powers. It is a landmark film in the horror genre, with psychological thrills and a surreal, strange atmosphere. Starring: Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, David Manners, Julie Bishop Local legend and horror host Sammy Terry will perform a stage show starting at 7:30 prior to the film screening.
