Spooky Old Movies at BAM Part I


The Uninvited is being screened at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Young folks have to this one! Shot in awesomely atmospheric black and white, this is a true ghost story, a real spooky movie without the demented half–dead monsters carrying chainsaws.

The premise: a music critic and his sister move into an abandoned house in England, not knowing it is haunted. The characters in the scene above were playing with something similar to a Ouija board.

This film offers one of the best B&W experiences on the big screen, even 65 years later!

PS: There is to be no talking during the movie at this theater; that’s why BAM is so cool.
