Going along with our "Seeing Red" exhibit at the Carnegie Museum, we will be screening "The Red House" at the end of September!
About this Event

Please join us for our popular Thomas Edison Depot Classic film series!

This month's film is The Red House - a 1947 American psychological horror film directed by Dellmer Daves and starring Edward G. Robinson, Lon McCallister, Judith Anderson, Rory Calhoun, Allene Roberts, and Julie London. It follows a young woman raised by a brother and sister who are concealing a secret involving an abandoned farmhouse located deep in the woods on their sprawling property. It is based on the 1945 novel of the same name by George Agnew Chamberlain, which was popularly serialized in "The Saturday Evening Post."

Retrospective assessment of the film has noted its genre-defying elements, surreal musical score, and provocative themes. In 2019, "Paste" magazine declared The Red House the best horror film released in 1947.
