Thursday, October 25<\/strong> through Sunday, October 28, 7 p.m.<\/strong> : Over in the other twin cities, a sort-of twin bill (which would be a real<\/em> twin bill if the movies played back-to-back on the same day) aims to shock and amaze you! THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL<\/strong> (1959, 10\/25-26) features Vincent Price<\/strong> in one of William Castle<\/strong>‘s trademark “gimmick films,” while WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE<\/strong> (1951, 10\/27-28) offers up spectacular, Oscar<\/strong>-winning destruction thanks\u00a0to producer George Pal<\/strong>. @ Normal Theater, 209 North St., Normal<\/strong>. Click for more<\/a><\/p>\n

Friday, October 26, Midnight<\/strong>: Now, why is it that the most creative All Hallow’s Eve programming is happening an hour away? Hmmmmm?<\/em> Classic “spook show” itinerary of cartoons, previews, and – yay! – George A. Romero<\/strong>‘s original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD<\/strong> (1968).\u00a0@ Avon Theatre, 426 N. Water St., Decatur<\/strong>. Free.\u00a0Click for more<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday, October 28, 6 p.m.<\/strong>: The Community Planning Month Film Festival<\/strong> takes a look at worldwide efforts to create sustainable city living that is\u00a0less reliant on hustle, bustle, and wasted resources. Prototype planning in Chicago<\/strong> (EDEN’S LOST AND FOUND<\/strong>) and Boulder, Colorado<\/strong> (DESIGNING A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD<\/strong>) is featured this weekend; last Sunday’s presentations concentrated on Sao Paolo, Brazil<\/strong> (CITIES<\/strong>) and New York City<\/strong> (CONTESTED STREETS<\/strong>).

It’s no surprise that Decatur’s favorite “ghost writer,” Troy Taylor<\/strong>, will be on hand for this one, but he also appears in the movie! Joining him for the show will be fellow paranormal investigator\/budding TV star\u00a0Keith Age<\/strong> and CHILDREN<\/strong> filmmakers, the Booth Brothers<\/strong>. @ Avon Theatre, 426 N.
