Hi all and a belated Happy Halloween. My annual Halloween Party/Haunted House/Costume Contest/Spooky Movie Night will be this Saturday and I have my playlist planned:

400 footers:
Creeps (Three Stooges)
A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts (Scooby Doo)
The Wolfman (U8)
A Night of Fright is No Delight (Scooby Doo)
The Incredible Shrinking Man (U8 with Castle Films "Flood" sequence added)
The Raven (U8)
Phantom of the Opera (Claude Rains, U8)
The Invisible Man (U8)
Love At First Bite (George Hamilton comedy, Ken Films)
The Bride of Frankenstein (U8)
The Mummy's Tomb (Lon Chaney, Jr., U8 with additional Castle Films scenes)
Dracula (Bela Lugosi, U8)

600 footers:
Psycho (U8 plus the film's trailer featuring Alfred Hitchcock touring the set)
Frankenstein meets the Wolfman (U8 with additional Castle Films scenes)
plus seven compilation reels I have created by combining four 200' digests onto 600' reels featuring many Ken Films AIP and monster films and Castle Films Revenge of the Creature and the Creature Walks Among Us

Hi Leon,
I prefer the Chinon SP-330MV only because it is relatively inexpensive and the bulb has a long life. Of course I use an auxiliary speaker placed under the screen. I have found this projector does not damage film, and since I clean the film path each evening I show films, there is very little scratching. In the 80's I used various Bell & Howell models, but found them to affect the magnetic sound by erasing the soundtrack!

Hi Carter, If you ever need another machine. Go Elmo. They are the best! Because there is still parts. And still get them fixed! They are well made. Top of the line! I get them in from time to time! And super 8 sound films to! People contact me because I have all the parts! I brought out the parts in 1999. All parts are brand new! So something to think about! Take care! Leon Norris

Carter - I am very impressed with the way you have mixed light hearted spooky films together with the slightly more sinister. Very well balanced! It looks to be a large programme, so I am sure you will be there for most of the night.

Hope it all goes well..... pity I couldn't pop over to see it!

Sounds fantastic. When I was in junior high, one of my English teachers had a Halloween day treat for us: The Muncie (Indiana) Public Library had 16mm films for loan. They had cut together the 400' 16mm sound digests of DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, THE MUMMY, THE INVISIBLE MAN, THE WOLF MAN and CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON onto a single reel, and our teacher trotted that out to show us that day. I'm in the process of putting together a Super 8 reel of that same line-up.

We watch the same ones every year, but boy, are they repeatable ...

The Fog scope feature
Alien scope feature
Poltergeist scope feature.

I tell ya, seeing them on the big screen is MILES ahead of some projection TV! (personal opinion, of course), especially a film like Poltergeist!
