" Frank Capra's 'Arsenic & Old Lace' does for Halloween what his other 1940's masterpiece, 'Its a Wonderful Life', did for Christmas! "
Whether you've seen this before, or have always wanted to, this is one movie night at Haddo House NOT to be missed!
It's Halloween in Brooklyn, New York, and Mortimer Brewster, a famous & wealthy theatre critic, returns home and discovers his entire family is criminally and murderously insane!
The mix of Cary Grant's talent for madcap comedy, combined with the two seemingly genteel & adorably quaint old ladies and their dark secret, plus the sinister performances from Raymond Massey and Peter Lorre, make this classic movie a comic masterpiece.
Released to great acclaim in 1944, Frank Capra's intelligent direction weaves this complicated and unpredictable plot around a whole host of eccentric characters, creating a Halloween 'MUST SEE'.
You'll be led up the candlelit stairs, along the dimly lit corridors and finally reach the darkened shuttered Library, deep inside Haddo House, where this black comedy crime story, will be screened to thrill and surprise you, and make you laugh!
The Library at Haddo only has a limited number of seats, and film screenings sell out quickly, so don't be too long in booking your tickets for this exclusive and nostalgic movie night out.
Tickets: £6
Under 25's :£5
There will be popcorn & bottled water too!
Cert. PG
Haddo's Library has a limited number of seats for movie screenings, so be sure to book your tickets early.
IMPORTANT:
- Travel Time: REMEMBER to leave plenty of time for Haddo's very long drive from the main road to the car park, and then the walk from the carpark to the House. Please allow 20-30mins from the main road.
- Please don't be late : We may not be able to admit late-comers because the front doors are locked just before the movie starts upstairs in the Library. You don't want to be left outside, on a spooky night like this!
