Night of the Living Dead – Saturday, Feb 1st

Night of the Living Dead is a ground-breaking and genre-creating black-and-white horror film.  Directed by George A. Romero and starring a cast of unknowns, the story follows Ben, Barbra, and others trapped in a rural farmhouse in Pennsylvania which is attacked by unnamed & unexplained "living dead" monsters.

Due to an error by the distributor when it was released in 1968, this film is in the public domain.  The VOC will be showing this as a silent film with subtitles.

The General – Thursday, March 27th

The General is a 1926 Buster Keaton comedy film.  Johnnie (Buster Keaton) loves his train ("The General") and his girlfriend, Annabelle Lee. But as the Civil War starts, Johnnie is unable to enlist as he's more valuable as a train engineer than a soldier; unfortunately, Annabelle believes it's because he's a coward. But when Union spies steal his train with his girlfriend onboard, Johnnie springs into action.
