Join us in October for the cult classic thriller, “House on Haunted Hill.” A millionaire with theatrical tendencies, Stephen Price, invites a number of people to stay in a vast creepy building that used to be an insane asylum. Stephen, accompanied by his bitter wife, Evelyn, offers $10,000 to anyone who can stay the whole night without leaving out of fear. When Stephen and Evelyn become trapped with their guests, they quickly realize that the house really is haunted — and the spirits dwelling within are very angry.
We will have a very special guest, Dr. Christian Kammerer, the Museum’s Research Curator of Paleontology, as our expert to help fact check our fiction. Before the main feature begins, AV Geek Skip Elsheimer will showcase a short film or two from the archive. Make sure to pay attention during the show, as there will be trivia at the end!
This movie is intended for an adult audience. Parents and guardians should review the parent’s guide.
