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.
