Hoquiam’s Hot August Frights @ 7th Street Theatre
Aug 15 @ 12:00 pm – 12:15 pm
Hoquiam's Hot August Frights @ 7th Street Theatre | Hoquiam | Washington | United States

Hoquiam’s Hot August Frights returns to the 7th Street Theatre for its 4th year.

Join hundreds of other horror fans for 12 straight hours of films and festivities in a historic theatre.

Noon: Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome – Filmed in 1947 and starring Boris Karloff, the film is billed as “Horror Man Traps Super-Sleuth”!
1:30 p.m.: Vampyr – One of the ORIGINAL Dracula films and shot in 1932 Germany, the movie was praised for its disorienting visual effects.
3:00 p.m.: House of Whipcord – The movie starts with the credit: “This film is dedicated to those who are disturbed by today’s ax moral codes and who eagerly await the return of corporal and capital punishment.” Do you really need more?
5:00 p.m.: Freaks – If you liked American Horror Story: Freakshow, see the likely inspiration! “One of us! One of us!”
6:30 p.m.: Creature from the Haunted Sea – Our “Dinner Movie” for fans of seafood and death! Sponsored by Seaweed in Ocean Shores.
8:00 p.m.: Body in the Web – Who needs Lavalantula when you have plane crash survivors trapped on a remote island infested with spiders. Obviously when bitten, they turn INTO spiders.
9:30 p.m.: How to Survive a Zombie Attack – Back by popular demand!
10:30 p.m.: The Tingler – With a name like “The Tingler”, you should already be on board. The fact that it stars Vincent Price is just icing on the cake!

Tickets are available at the door for individual movies, or for the whole day! $5 for any single movie, but for $15 you can come and go as you please throughout the day or let your body go numb from all 12 hours of horror with diehard fans.

As a special treat, after the movies there may be low light tours of the deepest, darkest holes of the historic theatre available by request.

Sponsored by Seaweed in Ocean Shores, Sgt. MF Brand’s BBQ, and the Historic 7th Street Theatre.

Bill Lindstrom Discusses Infamous Grays Harbor Man @ Aberdeen Timberland Librar
Jan 25 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Lindstrom presents a lecture, “Villain or Victim: Revisiting the legend of John Tornow.”

Lindstrom’s meticulously researched history reads like a blend of mystery and tragedy. It reinterprets the life of an enigmatic man accused of heinous crimes.
The author poured over century-old court documents, transcripts, news
articles and interviews to produce an authoritative and compassionate account. He brings to life the circumstances – family, friends, daily routines, personal sorrows – that led to multiple murders, a 19-month manhunt and an enduring Northwest legend.
 
Books will be available for purchase and signing at this event.
