Onsale for members 9/13; for the general public, on 9/20 between noon and 1 p.m. Festival passes for all five films in the Universal Horror Monster Madness are available.

What it is: A loose adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe short story, The Black Cat pits a Hungarian psychiatrist against an Austrian architect, with a newlywed couple caught in the middle. The two old foes, with an enmity stemming from their experiences in WW1, match wits by engaging each other in psychological games and spiritual terror.
Why we're showing it: The Universal Horror Monster Madness festival features five classic films from Universal Studios, featuring some of their most fun but lesser seen monster movies. The first of eight films to showcase the talents of both Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, The Black Cat shows the two horror legends at the height of their powers. It is a landmark film in the horror genre, with psychological thrills and a surreal, strange atmosphere.
