Viewing Notes

After the Creature screening at the Music Box of course I stuck around for Murders in the Rue Morgue in 35mm! Sadly the film wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. The description and plot summary sound better than the execution but still entertaining enough w/Bela Lugosi. Also pleased that MBT was screening these horror movies during October.
