TCM Classic Film Festival launches tonight

The good folks over at Turner Classic Movies just reminded us, in a press release, that "for the third year, the TCM Classic Film Festival is the place to experience classic movies as they were meant to be seen: on the big screen, in some of the world's most iconic venues, with the people who made them."

The four-day festival, which takes place Thursday, April 12 – Sunday, April 15, features a wide range of screenings, events and appearances starting early in the morning and going into the late evening. Passes for the fest are on sale now at http://www.tcm.com/festival, and will include such classic gems as Vertigo, Dr. No, Chinatown and one of our Paranormal Pop Culture faves, James Whale's 1931 classic Frankenstein - which is appropriately screening on a day of horror, Friday the 13th.

If you're in the area, check it out.
