Prepare for a hauntingly goofy night at the next Virtual Cinema a Go-Go! Mark your calendars for Friday, March 26, 7 p.m., when we show Tormented (1960) and an episode of the '60s TV series Way Out.
This event is free; all we need is your name and email address in this web form, and you will get the exclusive log-in information for the event. This cinema night KPR is giving away an RCH enamel pin. Bobbi will post the link to the giveaway in the chat during the event. You must be present to win.
In Tormented, Tom Stewart is preparing to marry the woman he loves when his plans become threatened by his old girlfriend, Vi. During a confrontation at the top of the island’s lighthouse, the railing breaks and Vi falls. Tom has a chance to save her but doesn’t! Tom’s relief at Vi’s accident soon fades when her vengeful spirit begins showing up wherever he goes.
In addition, we'll have a rare episode from the macabre '60s TV series Way Out, hosted by writer Roald Dahl. Originally paired with The Twilight Zone on Friday evenings by CBS, Way Out only lasted a few weeks and presented tales of fantasy and horror introduced by Dahl. Actors who appeared on the brief series include Martin Landau, Mildred Dunnock, Kevin McCarthy, Richard Thomas and Doris Roberts.
