Curse of the Crimson Altar (1968) + Secret of the Red Orchid (1962)

Since 1966, the Gothique Film Society has been screening double bills of ‘gothique’ films to like-minded souls. They meet once a month, between October and March (with two shows in March) to watch, appreciate and pass a critical eye over films in the horror and fantasy genres. Seeing these films in the comfort of one’s home is all well and good, but to watch them with like-minded fans, on the big screen, makes for a memorable experience.
