Film collector, historian and preservationist Eric Grayson will be sharing some of his favorite vintage films one night each month. In April, enjoy The Ghoul (1933) with Boris Karloff. In the film, an Egyptologist returns from the dead to take revenge on those who have violated his tomb. The film will follow the Egyptian Dance Celebration taking place from 7-9:00.
More about the film:
A knife-wielding, enigmatic Egyptian Arab is seeking a sacred jewel which has been stolen from an ancient tomb. It has been sold to Professor Morlant, a fanatical Egyptologist. Dying from a mysteriously disfiguring ailment, Morlant entrusts his faithful manservant to bandage the jewel in his hand and warns him of dire consequences if his dying wishes aren't carried out. Needless to say he is not buried with the jewel still within his dead grasp.
