It's Devil's Night and what better way to start your Halloween pre-game than with one of the very first slasher flicks.
Phoenix secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), on the lam after stealing $40,000 from her employer in order to run away with her boyfriend, Sam Loomis (John Gavin), is overcome by exhaustion during a heavy rainstorm. Traveling on the back roads to avoid the police, she stops for the night at the ramshackle Bates Motel and meets the polite but highly strung proprietor Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), a young man with an interest in taxidermy and a difficult relationship with his mother.
Screening starts at 8:00PM sharp in the Sadleir House lecture hall, 751 George Street North. As usual it's 100% free and snacks will be provided. Discussion will follow after the film.
