Free Movie: Carnival of Souls

Save the Date: this Wednesday Night at 6:30pm the San Diego Public Library is participating in their monthly free movie screening by showing Carnival of Souls, a low budget horror film made in the 60's.
After originally bringing in little money, this flick has become somewhat of a cult classic, based on it's "special effects" and organ score by Gene Moore.

The auditorium is located inside the Central Library (Downtown) on the 3rd floor, and operates on a first come, first serve basis.
(On a side note, as of July 2010 this Library has been approved to be completely re-constructed, so if nothing else, come see all the beautiful old features of a real Library before it turns into a new corporate looking establishment)
