LRPA After Dark Celebrates Halloween With Its 2nd Annual “Shocktober” Festival, A Month Of Scary Cinema!

This Weekend’s Feature: 1962’s “Carnival of Souls”

 

Throughout October, join Lakes Region Public Access Television each Friday and Saturday night at 10:30 p.m. for a scary good time! “LRPA After Dark” celebrates Halloween with four frightening films from Hollywood’s past. This weekend (October 20 & 21), we present the eerily atmospheric cult favorite, 1962’s “Carnival of Souls,” directed by Herk Harvey and starring Candace Hilligoss.

 

Mary Henry (Hilligoss) and two friends are out in a car, enjoying the day. At a stop light, some guys in another car challenge them to a street race, and they accept. As the girls’ car speeds across a bridge, the driver loses control and the car plunges into a river.  A search party drags the river for the car, and just when things look dire, Mary emerges from the water, cold and dazed. She can’t seem to remember any details about the wreck and has no real answers for the searchers. To move on with her life, Mary accepts a job in a different state as a church organist. On the drive to her new position, she passes a mysterious deserted carnival pavilion to which she finds herself inexplicably drawn. As she is looking at the pavilion, Mary is startled by an ominous man looming in her path, nearly causing her to drive off the road. She blames this vision on a lingering aftereffect of the accident, composes herself, and drives to her destination. Mary arrives at her destination and takes a room at a boarding house, meets her new employer, and generally tries to get on with her life. However, she can’t stop seeing the apparition of the menacing man – nor can she get the vision of the abandoned carnival pavilion out of her head.  What do these frightening visions mean? Will she ever be able to move on with her life? 

 

Although it was an initial failure at the box office, “Carnival of Souls,” made on a shoestring budget of less than $20,000 and with a total crew of six, has since become a highly regarded and well-loved horror cult classic. Upon the film’s re-release in 1989, critic Roger Ebert awarded the film three out of four stars and wrote that the movie was “… an odd, obscure horror film that was made on a low budget in 1962 and still has an intriguing power. Unlike most of today’s horror movies, ‘Carnival of Souls’ has few special effects. Instead, it depends on crisp black-and-white photography, atmosphere and surprisingly effective acting.” Lead actress Candace Hilligoss studied with famed teacher Lee Strasberg at the Actor’s Studio in New York City, and brings remarkable depth to the character of Mary. This movie’s not to be missed! So grab your candy corn and join LRPA after dark for this fan favorite classic from the past.

 

Mark your calendars for our final Halloween treat:

October 27 & 28: 1972’s “Horror Express”

CBNA Theatre Students To Present Godspell October 26, 27, 28

 

Coe-Brown Northwood Academy Theatre will proudly present the classic musical Godspell, conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz on Thursday, Friday and Saturday October 26, 27 & 28, 2017, in the Gerrish Gym on the CBNA campus. 

 

In Godspell, which is based on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, a small group of people help Jesus tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comedy. The show includes an eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville which are employed as the story dances across the stage. Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance, community and love come vibrantly to life in this well-known musical.

 

The ensemble cast includes Braelin Ash, Shayla Ashley, Brian Downer, Mackenzie Flanders, Nina Laramee, Cooper Leduke, Paige Marston, Alex Mercedes, Connor Nowak, Alyssa Reiff, Rylee Rogers, Allison Rose, Aiden Schutte, Julia Sommer, and Darin Sweet with additional performances by Mirah Johnston, and Lily Marston.

 

Production stage manager junior Cody Peck will be leading an experienced production team of skilled theatre technicians who will bring Godspell to life. The production is directed by faculty member Elizabeth Lent with assistance and choreography from faculty member Kolby Hume. Music direction is by David Deardorff.

 

Reserved tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors, and are available at http://cbnanh.booktix.com. For further information, call 942-5531, ext. 237, or email [email protected]. Hope to see you there.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

 

We still have many things to do to bring the transfer station up to par. One, of course, is the new swap shop building. Margaret Walker and I will be bringing all of the information we have gathered to the board of selectmen on October 24. We have spent much time and effort, so hopefully, the board will approve the plan and we can get things rolling along.

 

I called the Reeds Ferry Sheds for an exact price for the building and was surprised to learn that if we install the building in Jan. or Feb. there is a 15% discount. The total cost for a 14’ x 18’ building with three 30” x 40” windows and one door with a window is $6767.06 With the 15% discount of $1015.06, the building will cost $5752.06 Delivery and set up are included in the price.

 

The selectmen approved $3,000 for the recycling committee to have magnets printed up with recycling information on them for your fridge and they were going to mail them out. Seems like an excessive amount of money to spend and I am not sure that they haven’t waited too long to get them this year. This recycling committee seems a little quiet about what they are doing. 

 

Anyway, $3,000 for magnets or $6,000 for a new swap shop building! Seems like a no brainer to me. 

 

I also have to say, the jungle surrounding the transfer station seems to be swallowing it. I don’t think it would take that much time or money to push the jungle back, not only around the burn pits but the highway building is about to disappear too. 

 

Till Next Time,

Viena Dow
