Outdoor Film Screening: House on Haunted Hill (1958)

Brown Media Archives invites you to a night of fear and fun with an outdoor screening of "House on Haunted Hill" (1958)! Join us on the dead center of the Special Collections front lawn to witness such trepidation and terror. Ghostly archival clips from the BMA collection may have, somehow, someway, creeped their way into the main fright....we mean feature!
