Long Films for Long Nights: The Curse of the Cat People

Join us for a screening and discussion of The Curse of the Cat People, produced by horror film pioneer Val Lewton. A wishing ring, a ghost, the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and an Eastern European dynasty of shape shifters feature in this 1944 psychological thriller set in a haunted house. Lewton—who also produced the first film in the series, Cat People (1942), directed by Jacques Tourneur—incorporated elements of his own childhood into the narrative.
