We are delighted to announce that our film for our 4 February Film Club (7pm Irish time) will be the 1971 classic The Abominable Dr. Phibes, a truly gothic love story. You can register to receive a link to watch the film & then join our discussion here: www.eventbrite.ie/e/1421842121... #INGHS

The title screen for The Abominable Dr. Phibes has the title in large light blue letters in a real creepy art-deco type style. The title is over a background of a wall behind indoor trees with, in the center, steps leading up to something that is difficult to see but which is actually an organ with Dr. Phibes (Vincent Price) playing. He is wearing a large black cloak with a hood and has his back to the audience.

Hey folks, I'm making my book group read 'Venoni' by Matthew Lewis and I wondered if any of my Gothic and Romanticism friends would be interested in doing a live reading/dramatic performance. The more drama, the better! Give me a shout if you could be into it!

I watched this film for the first time in my grandparent's house, during a critical "banging on walls" scene my uncle knocked on the outside of the window behind me because he'd forgotten his keys and I nearly expired with fright.
