We are incredibly pleased to announce that Saturday, April 16th, we will be playing a special 45th anniversary screening of Peter Medak’s absolutely chilling 1980 horror-mystery masterpiece, THE CHANGELING, at the historic Babcock Theatre as the next film in our Late Night series! A truly exquisite haunted house thriller, THE CHANGELING still remains one of the very best and most effectively portrayed ghost films of all time! Totally drenched in the suffocating, eerie atmosphere of a creaky old mansion, THE CHANGELING is a paranormal puzzle that completely sucks the viewer in as the attempt to unravel the story’s mysteries. With incredibly creepy sound design, pacing that puts you on edge, genuinely disturbing imagery, quite authentic showings of 20th century paranormal research, and a thoughtful, wrenching, examination of grief, there really is no ghost film out there quite like THE CHANGELING!
