Herk Harvey made one of the eeriest low-budget American horror films ever with a Kansas town, a deserted pavilion and a pale specter that keeps finding Candace Hilligoss after she survives a car plunging off a bridge. MoMI shows it on 35mm in its Halloween-season Handcrafted Horrors series. If you're already there for the 3-D Creature earlier, stay for this double bill.
What to expect
A 78-minute 35mm screening in the Redstone Theater, with general-admission seating. The mood is quiet and uncanny rather than gory.
Good to know
- The M or R to Steinway St, or the N or W to 36 Av, are the closest trains.
- Follows The Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3-D in the same series that afternoon.
- Seating is general admission.
- Suits older kids and teens as a gateway classic-horror film.
Going? Keep it.
