Event Description

Halloween is the time to settle down on the sofa (or even behind the sofa) and watch a classic horror movie.

In the 1930s Universal Studios created it's pantheon of horror with classic black and white films such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Old Dark House. But which British writers and playwrights provided the raw material for these spooky tales, and who were the British actors and directors who crossed the Atlantic to make sure things definitely went bump in the night? Join horror writer and tour guide David Turnbull for this exploration of Hollywood monsters and their British connections.

  • Duration: 60 mins
  • Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)

More Information

What if I can’t make the event?

If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.

Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.

How do I watch the live event?

Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.

How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)
