Kennett Flash to begin Movie Monday series. October selections are horror classics.

This is exciting news, because let's face it: Movie Mondays at the Trocadero are a little far, and Theatre N doesn't show much in the way of Halloween films like they used to (remember when they had the Devil Music Trio provide live scores to classic black & white films?). 

The schedule is:

October 10th - The Ring
October 17th - Poltergeist
October 24th - Halloween (one of my all-time favorites)

No admission will be charged for these showings, though donations are encouraged.  The door time will be 7pm, with the showings starting at 7:30pm.  Food and drink are available at the Flash.

And now my rant about people who go to these things and ruin it for the rest of us by loudly making fun of the films as they're being shown:

I hope people don't show up to these screenings to just laugh their way through the pivotal moments.  Anytime I've seen a horror classic on screen, there is always at least one drunk d-bag (usually female, by the way) who forces out ironic gales of laughter at what are supposed to be the scariest moments, totally ruining the mood.  I say "forces out" because it never sounds like she thinks it's actually funny, but it's more like she's trying to impress a date by showing how unaffected she is by suspenseful cinematic moments.  Don't do this.  It's annoying to those of us who came out to appreciate the vintage film as it was originally intended.
