FRIDAY FRIGHT NIGHT THIS FRIDAY: HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL – SHOWN IN EMERGO – 8PM
Dear, dear friends & visitors!
We’re ever so excited to bring you HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL this FRIDAY as the latest installment of our Friday Fright Night series.
No, we are not showing the film from 1999, we are showing the good ole’ 1959 original House on Haunted Hill. Our second Vincent Price flick (can you blame us, I mean it’s Vincent Price!!!) features the legend as millionaire Frederick Loren, who offers five people $10,000 to stay a night in a remote haunted house, giving each of them a loaded gun as a “party favor.” Throughout the night, they’re terrorized by skeletons, disembodied heads and other grisly apparitions. Will any of the guests survive to win the prize? Or will the house scare them to death?
This night is going to bring something a little special. When House on Haunted Hill was originally released in 1959 it was released in a new technique called “Emergo”, which meant part of the film actually came out of the screen into the audience. Director William Castle was known for his fun and exciting gimmicks with his films, something a well-known director decided to imitate (cough, cough, Hictchcock!). Sure, it’s 41 years later but “Emergo” lives on. We at Friday Fright Night will be presenting House on Haunted Hill in “Emergo”. For some of us this might be a once in a lifetime event so this is something you don’t want to miss. The night is still going to be terrific so venture down to The Time next Friday @ 8pm. How can you pass it up; free movie, cheap snacks and good company. Bring your friends and check out the trailer below.
Here is the one of the original trailers, we’re looking forward to seeing you there!!
