Yesterday, I had the pleasure of introducing a Roger Corman double-feature at the historic Belcourt Theater in Nashville, TN. The screening took place at noon and featured two of Corman’s Poe adaptations—The Pit and the Pendulum and Masque of the Red Death. Many consider these to be the best of the series, but of course that's a matter of personal taste.
I recorded my introduction and shared it on YouTube, so I thought I’d post it here as well. The audience was fantastic, and it was truly heartwarming to see a modern crowd applauding films that have been around for over 60 years. Even better, a group of high school students attended, and one of them said afterward that The Pit and the Pendulum was the best horror movie he’d ever seen. How great is that?
A heartfelt thank you to the Belcourt for inviting me—it’s always an honor to be part of these screenings!
