Free Movie Fridays: There are two more FREE Movie Fridays before the Coffin Races and the “Ghost Stories of Old Manitou” walking tours on October 25th (don’t forget to get your tickets soon)! So join us tomorrow evening and the following Friday for some vintage movie fun. The Heritage Center’s doors open at 6:30pm; movies start at 7:00pm. No admission charge (donations accepted). Tomorrow’s show is: October 17 – The Ghost Train (1941) Hijinks and chills ensue when a group of mismatched travelers are stranded overnight at a lonely rural railway station. They soon learn of local superstition about a phantom train which is said to travel these parts in the dead of night, carrying ghosts from a long-ago train wreck in the area. The travelers eventually get to the bottom of the things that go bump in the night. In between the scary bits, comedian Arthur Askey plays the gags with his Vaudeville style humor, to the constant irritation of his fellow passengers. The last movie in our October series will be: October 24 – Carnival of Souls (1962) Mary Henry is enjoying the day by riding around in a car with two friends. When challenged to a drag, the women accept, but are forced off of a bridge. It appears that all are drowned, until Mary, quite some time later, amazingly emerges from the river. After recovering, Mary accepts a job in a new town as a church organist, only to be dogged by a mysterious phantom figure that seems to reside in an old run-down pavilion. It is here that Mary must confront the personal demons of her spiritual insouciance. A big screen, vintage theater seats, fresh popcorn and other concession goodies, and a spooky, vintage movie shown in a darkened museum – what could be better for a cheap date and to get you in the “spirit”!
