   THIS HALLOWEEN: MONSTERS! Reptilian, Simian and ... Human   
      
   Saturday, October 29 at 3:30 PM   
   "King Kong vs. Godzilla"   
   Starring Michael Keith, James Yagi, Tadao Takashima   
   (1964 - 91 mins - Color)   
   Two of the most famous oversized, stomp-em, crush-em monsters in movie   
   history are pitted against each other in this campy classic from Japan's   
   Toho studios. This is the American version - the one we all grew up   
   watching on TV - dubbed into English and with scenes starring an   
   American actor added. It's a must-see for fans of the famous Japanese   
   series (one of the longest running franchises in film history) and a lot   
   of campy fun and action for everyone!

   "Godzilla"   
   (The Restored Original Version, In Japanese With English Subtitles)   
   Starring Akira Takarada, Kin Sugai, Takashi Shimura. Directed by Ishiro   
   Honda.   
   (1954 - 98 mins - B&W)   
   One of the longest-running series in film history began with Ishiro   
   Honda's grim allegory for the devastation wrought on Japan by the atomic   
   bomb. A gigantic mutant dinosaur is awakened from the bottom of the sea   
   and wreaks havoc and destruction on Japan. The original, Japanese   
   version is chilling, despite less than perfect man-in-a-suit special   
   effects, and treats its serious theme sensitively, yet includes some   
   dark, Dr. Strangelove-esque humor. Most Americans, however, have only   
   seen the American cut - which edited out 40 minutes of the original,   
   inserted new, Hollywood footage starring a pre-Perry Mason Raymond Burr,   
   and has one of the most famously bad dub-into-English jobs in movie   
   history. The restored Godzilla may take a little getting used to for   
   audiences raised on the U.S. cut, it will be worth it.

   "Masque of the Red Death" -   
   Starring Vincent Price, Hazel Court, Jane Asher, David Weston. Directed   
   by Roger Corman   
   (1964 - 90 mins - Color)   
   This is one of those movies that left an indelible impression on those   
   who saw it when it premiered. This was due to Vincent Price's thoroughly   
   chilling performance, very effective cinematography and what was, for   
   its time, a rather racy scene of the heroine in a bathtub. This all   
   holds up remarkably well decades later. Masque of the Red Death was one   
   of a series of adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories, but unlike many   
   of the others, this film has little or no camp in it, and instead played   
   the story straight for unsettling chills. During a devastating   
   12th-century plague called "The Red Death," the decadent,   
   devil-worshipping Prince Prospero holds court over a bizarre masked   
   ball. Two innocent peasants manage to escape intact, but they go through   
   the torments of the Damned to do so.   
      
   Admission for each screening is $6 for Adults; $4 for Seniors and   
   Children aged 12 and under.  Combo ticket of $10 Adult / $6 Senior &
