Unfortunately the print of Madhouse was even worse than the print of Hound. We’ve decided to change out those two programs as no suitable materials for either title could be obtained.
“The Skull” (1965) (replaces the scheduled showing of The Hound of the Baskervilles), presented in HD courtesy Paramount Pictures.
“Scream and Scream Again” (1970) (replaces the scheduled showing of Madhouse), presented in 35mm courtesy of MGM.
Just a note, the Metropolis show on Friday is an 8pm start.
Print update:
HD version of Metropolis looks fine. If you like that version, you’ll be very pleased. Sounds great.
Mysterious Island digital ‘print’ from Sony arrives tomorrow but should look flawless and it has the new 5.1 stereo surround sound on it.
Monster that Challenged the World is a mint 35mm print, it’s pretty much new and will be great to project.
Double Feature: “X – The Man with X Ray Eyes” is near-mint and has perfect color; “Planet of the Vampires” is also near-mint with perfect color. A little treat – it has the original Italian title on it! “Terrore Nello Spazio”.
The Hound of the Baskervilles print has, unfortunately, faded color. Almost sepia-tone. MGM has no other print. We’re trying to obtain an alternate source (possibly an HD transfer), but will run the print if nothing else can be found.
Madhouse has not arrived yet.
Friday the 13th is the uncut version (I’m told it’s 10 seconds of gory footage) and looks fine via Paramount’s digital print.

I’ll be there for at least some of this. Looking forward to it, as always.
Folks, if you haven’t yet experienced the Lafayette… GO.
