Schlock Cinema: Keeping Up Appearances
First up, House of The Black Death, (1965) was originally sold as a werewolf picture but when the producers went broke halfway through filming, director Jerry Warren added some incoherent footage of John Carradine and Lon Chaney, Jr. as battling warlocks, leaving it a hairy mess. Next is Hammer Studios’ Scream of Fear (1969), starring Susan Strasberg and Christopher Lee about a young heiress, a greedy widow, a creepy doctor, an extremely large inheritance and a very steep cliff. We follow with What’s The Matter with Helen? (1971), a depression-era story of two widows whose husbands and suitors share a very high mortality rate. Happily, the film benefits from the oddball casting of Debbie Reynolds, Shelly Winters and Dennis Weaver. We finish with the beautifully discombobulated 1958 no-budget classic, The Monster of Piedras Blancas, starring B-movie queen, Jeanne Carmen (Untamed Youth) featuring a sad monster suit cobbled from parts “borrowed” from other classic Universal creatures to create a critter who hangs out at the beach waiting to be fed by the weird lighthouse keeper. When the lunch counter closes, everybody better run! 7031 7/20/2017 - 8/10/2017 7:00 - 9:00PM 4 ses Th Hopkins On Campus: LB Bldg Room 1131 $65
Film Noir Goes to Prison Prison films were most popular in the 1930s when dozens of movies about men serving hard time were churned out. The films were an allegory for the bigger problems in society. We will watch and study films from the noir era of the 40s and 50s giving equal time to men and women behind bars. Films include Brute Force, Caged and more. Your warden for summer quarter will be Jon Noe, film noir programmer for The Historic Everett Theatre. 7055 7/11/2017 - 8/1/2017 7:00 - 9:00PM 4 ses Tu Noe On Campus: LB Bldg Room 1131 $65 JON NOE Jon has been watching and studying film noir for over thirty years. He realized there was something dark, cynical and utterly fascinating about this style of film-making when he saw The Third Man at age 19. His goal is to highlight lesser known noir films that are in need of rediscovery. He produces and hosts The Juke Joint radio show on KSER 90.7 FM featuring 1940s and 50s rhythm and blues. You can also find him programming and hosting Film Noir Thursdays at The Historic Everett Theatre.
