Silent Horror Club Update

Tonight, "The Golem"....6:30 in the classroom! Enjoy!

Nobody...

Waaah. Wash out on "The Golem". Well, I'm sure everyone has a class that overlaps during that time. Oh well.

Don't forget: "The Man Who Laughs" tonight at 6:30!

Who's Cool Enough To Show Up?

Alright: Who is gonna show?? Let's just find out who the real horror movie nuts are out there. "Der Golem"...2:30 tomorrow. Don't show up if you are a light-weight in the monster department! Serious monster fanatics only! I'll be there, you lightweights, and I'm on the clock! Who else has got the guts? Come see German Expressionism at its finest! Points could be involved!

Then...6:30..are you cooler than even me??...I doubt it, but if you are prove it by showing up for "The Man Who Laughs" as our class Monster Club kicks off their grand opening event! How good is this movie? Several of you, who I have in mind, will never forget this film once you see it. Yea......it's that good! Show up, see it, and then argue with me....you won't!

Silent Horror Club Updates

The Silent Horror Club will hold its first official meeting at 6:30 Wed. night, October 7 in our classroom: Rm. #106. The movie screened will be the Conrad Veidt classic, "The Man Who Laughs".

I never got around to playing "Der Golem" today, and I apologize. It was really busy today. However, Wed. I will try again. That's two films back to back in one day! Can't beat it. Be sure and show up....show support. You aren't required to, of course, but these bonus films are a great way for you to add to your growing body of knowledge on the subject.

Test and Film Coming Up

Hello everyone...just a few quick updates. First off, I'm very happy to report that out of the papers I have graded so far, the exams are looking good! No single person has yet failed, and most grades are in the higher range. Good job, class! Very proud.

Today and Wed. I will be playing "Der Golem" for you viewing pleasure. I will start the films at 2:30 both days.

Friday be prepared for "Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages". It will be our next film.

Wed. 30th Film...CANCELLED

I'm afraid Wed. bonus film will not be possible. I have a dental emergency on that day to attend to (broke a tooth!).

See you in class Friday!

A Tip on the First Exam...

Just thought I'd mention, for those of you who are reading the blog: I'm not a stickler for dates of these films. While I consider that to be important information, and I would hope you would know that Edison's "Frankenstein" predates Fritz Lang's "Metropolis", I don't consider it to be important in terms of testing.

General knowledge of dates is fine, and on the exam you will not be required to specifically pinpoint an exact date. I'm letting all of you know because I don't want you to waste study time trying to learn exact dates of the films. I would, however, make sure I know the directors, stars and the individuals associated with each work....good chance that will pop up!

REMEMBER: This is an art course. Anything concerning art movements, particular artists we've talked about in class, and techniques and styles is more than just a little likely (hint..hint) to pop up on the test.
