[Michael L Ray]

LTATM meetings at the Del Mar Theatre are indefinitely suspended. Please join us online via Zoom video conferencing software (details below) where this week we'll be discussing a film streaming on Kanopy (anyone with a library card can join Kanopy for free and stream six to twelve movies a month). 

On Wednesday, March 26 at 7pm we will be discussing the Horror/FantasySuspense/Mystery/Thriller - The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). Arguably the first true horror film, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari set a brilliantly high bar for the genre -- and remains terrifying over a century after it first stalked the screen.At a carnival in Germany, Francis and his friend Alan encounter the crazed Dr. Caligari. The men see Caligari showing off his somnambulist, Cesare, a hypnotized man who the doctor claims can see into the future. Shockingly, Cesare then predicts Alan's death, and by morning his chilling prophecy has come true -- making Cesare the prime suspect. 96% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes:
