I am pretty sure the best way to view the original Frankenstein movie is on the lawn of the local haunted mansion.
My kids were totally fascinated by the story….if not a bit scared of the ominous backdrop behind the screen. I am not sure what that says about us that they can sit through a black and white film and be impressed by it. The 2 other families that came from our neighborhood left. I am not sure why. I wonder if it says something for the fact that we don’t watch scary movies at our house, so my kids think pre-baby boom era horror films are freakin’ amazing. Mia felt sorry for the monster, and was saying “Why are they chasing it. It is so sad”.
I mean, really…..can a house get more creepy looking? Can you see the little blue stars? A gorgeously spooky evening was enjoyed by all.
Hope you all had a Happy All Hallows Eve and an even better Reformation Sunday! Now, GET OUT OF YOUR KIDS HALLOWEEN BAGS!!!!
Just ONE more candy, ok?
Karen ^^
Great pictures! My children like the older movies also. I just got a new car (stupid deer) and it comes w/ Satellite Radio, so we are all enjoying driving and listening to the old CBS radio show/story broadcasts (I am talking 1940′s etc).
Interesting to watch the children’s reactions and imagination at play to only the spoken word and a few sound effects.
Alas, no candy left here.
Was just heading to my boy’s bag….
Sounds like a fun night! My parents basically raised us on black-and-white films, particularly old comedies like the Marx Brothers. We wouldn’t have left!
