In 1920s Germany, will director F.W. Murnau lose a lawsuit brought by the estate of Bram Stoker over his silent vampire film Nosferatu, which is suspiciously similar to Dracula? Will all of the prints be destroyed? In 1930s Hollywood, will make-up man Jack Pierce create the defining look for Frankenstein’s monster, or will the studio impede his efforts? Will he get the credit he deserves? In 1970s England, will actor Peter Cushing be able to finish the final British sequels to Frankenstein and Dracula, or will outside forces get in his way? Will his horror fans be disappointed? Will all of these men triumph as they fight for their art against the various “monsters” they must face? As these famous monster-makers discover, sometimes real life can be more frightening than the movies!
General Admission: $12*
