Cat People (PG) + introduction and archive film

Thursday 20 November 7pm at The Majestic Cinema, Kings Lynn

A winter’s night. A haunted cinema. A cursed film. A town where the dead still whisper…dare you join us? Step into the shadows of one of Norfolk’s most haunted towns for a chilling night of folklore, phantoms and vintage horror.

We’re teaming up with Norfolk Folklore Society and the King’s Lynn Community Cinema Club to summon Jacques Tourneur’s cult 1942 masterpiece Cat People onto the big screen at the Majestic Cinema: a venue with ghost stories of its own.

Before the feature, folklorists Siofra Connor and Stacia Briggs will guide audiences through tales where the boundary between myth and nightmare blurs. The evening begins with eerie folk horror artwork from Matt Willis (Shuck Zine/The Folklore Box), with exclusive posters available to buy and a free commemorative badge for all who dare to attend.

The event also includes a short archive film from the East Anglian Film Archive, introduced by Guy Martin of Reel Connections.
