Cartoon Spooktacular
September 26, 2008 12:05 am
On Tuesday October 21st I’ll be screening a selection of spooky, kooky, strange and creepy Halloween related animated cartoons at the Silent Movie Theatre on Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood. The vintage prints will be in 16mm and 35mm, and I’ll be running some surprises and bringing along some special guests. More details in a post closer to the playdate, but I wanted to give our readers an early heads up. |
ADVERTISEMENTS
EVENTS
RECENT BREW TV EPISODES By Sitji Chou. A man tries to understand the futility of creating human connections when they’ve been impeded by the microcosmic void between material particles.  By Nikolas Ilic. A story of a Scottish sheep farmer who shears his sheep and tosses them cliff side…  By Dylan Hayes. Lesson 1: Everyone gambles, not everyone loses. Lesson 2: The world is full of traps. Lesson 3: You cannot win if you don’t take risks.  By Jean Yi. A personal and humorous exploration of being the ‘Nice Girl’ and coming to terms with the label and all its different meanings.  By Ferg Brennan. A lonely fisherman catches an unusual fish, which he decides to keep as a pet. |
“Frankenstein’s Cat, Casper the Friendly Ghost, and Milton the Monster join forces with the groovy ghoulies…”
Does that mean what I think it means, and are you planning to stay in the room and watch it? Now that’s scary!
Personally I think the best cartoons of the 30’s involved supernatural elements in some way or another. By the 40’s spooks became a tad more gentrified in appearance (derbys) but still the cartoons retained an appropriately gothic atmosphere – ‘The Friendly Ghost’ (Casper) & ‘Lulu’s Indoor Outing’ (Little Lulu) are good examples.
Is this a family-friendly show? I have a four-year-old (he’s telling me to write 4 1/2) cartoon fan.

Are you going to screen an uncut print of “Jasper and the Haunted House”?
