The depiction of the paranormal can be portrayed for straight chills ("The Other," and "The Haunting"), romantic drama ("The Ghost and Mrs. Muir"), and lively comedy ("Blithe Spirit"). Our host and film aficionado, Rick Winston, will sample a wide variety of such films, both from Hollywood and other countries including, Japan ("Spirited Away" and "Kwaidan"), Spain ("The Orphanage"), England ("Dead of Night") and Mexico ("The Devil's Backbone"). This is a great opportunity to watch unusual "ghost" stories with a knowledgeable and fun guide. Grab a friend and get couch-cozy. What a way to get ready for Halloween! Only a handful of virtual seats still available. Email programs@normanwilliams.org if you'd like to snag one!

Our host for the evening, Rick Winston, was the co-owner of Montpelier's Savoy Theater for 29 years, and was Programming Director for the Green Mountain Film Festival for 14 years. He has taught film history at Burlington College, Community College of Vermont, Goddard College, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and has made presentations throughout Vermont on film history. This is a ZOOM event with limited seating for 20 people. Email programs@normanwilliams.org to sign up and we will confirm your seat - or let you know if we are full up.
