Wow. This looks like a blast! We stumbled across this a couple of days ago and have been trying to get this out to you asap. Apparently the Angelika Film Center is putting on their 1st Annual Silver Screams Film Festival this weekend (October 7-8).
"This nonprofit showcase of treasured horror films will return grand old gems to full, big screen glory for the enjoyment of fans that love them and new generations that surely will. More recent thrillers with Houston ties will also be screened, as well as the winner of the Festival’s “Little Shorts of Horror” film competition. To further enhance the festival spirit, horror film actors, historians, directors, screenwriters, art, memorabilia and exhibits will be featured. Films will run from 5:30 PM through a midnight screening of Texas Chain Saw Massacre Friday, October 7th, and from 11:00 AM through the midnight Closing Feature of Dark Night of the Scarecrow on Saturday, October 8th. Tickets may be purchased through this website; $13 for adults, $7 for kids 12 and under. An All Festival Pass is $125. Tickets sold at the door, based on availability, will be first come, first served." Being that I am a big fan of the book and 2 films titled "The Shining," I will most definitely be trying to get tickets to watch the Kubrick version of this film on Friday night.
