Haunted houses and other spooky things will be the over-all theme of this year’s Halloween movie marathon.
I was already leaning in that direction when I received a really cool item in the mail yesterday, which I took as a sign.
I thought to myself, “Self, this looks like a little coffin.” Then House on Haunted Hill sprang to mind and I giggled at what a big nerd I am and sliced open the box. Turns out, it was a little coffin, and this was inside:
The intriguing package contained an invitation to Andrew Wodzianski’s upcoming exhibit at Flashpoint.
October 8 – November 7, 2009
Andrew Wodzianski’s paintings lift imagery from William Castle’s b-movie horror flick from 1959, House on Haunted Hill. While a painting exhibition in its own right, House will also incorporate the gimmickry and audience participation for which director Castle was legendary. Visitors to the gallery will be invited to participate in a scavenger hunt and will ultimately have the chance to win a painting from the exhibition. On Friday, October 30, a costume party will be held in conjunction with the exhibition.
You can join in the scavenger hunt by following Andrew (@HouseHuntDC) on Twitter.
How cool is that?
You ALWAYS get the cool stuff…
