B-Movies and Bad Science: Cool Cats and Bad Kitties – The Tomb of Ligeia (1964)
Kick off spooky season in NHM’s new Commons Theater with the return of the fan-favorite film series, B Movies and Bad Science: Cool Cats and Bad Kitties. Join us on October 23 for one last night of unforgettable campy chills, eerie thrills, and feline-inspired mischief. Enjoy spine-tingling scares, laugh-out-loud moments, and lively conversations that dig into the quirky science and cultural impact behind cult classic horror films.
On October 23, view The Tomb of Ligeia (1964). This American-British horror film tells the story of a man haunted by the spirit of his dead wife and the effect it has on his second marriage. A funeral takes place at the side of Castle Acre Priory, where the casket has a window allowing the face of a beautiful young woman to be seen. A black cat jumps on the coffin and seems to steal her soul, setting in motion a suspenseful and chilling tale of love, loss, and supernatural intrigue.
Enjoy a post-film discussion presented by Sapphire Sandalo of Stories with Sapphire and The Ghost Town Terror on Travel Channel / Discovery + with guest Kaitlyn Graña, Mother of Mystics, evening access to the Fierce! The Story of Cats exhibit, and pre-show activities with local cat organizations and vendors!
