Wind down in the evening with the VHS Club! Join us for pizza, soda, and a screening of a classic VHS tape. Discussion will follow after the tradition of tape rewinding.
October is associated with horror, and this month's tape is George A. Romero's The Amusement Park (Not Rated | 1973 | 54m) that deals with the horrors of aging. Romero created this educational horror film in the 1970's for the Lutheran Society. The film is entirely set at the amusement park West View Park which is Romero’s symbolic playground for showcasing the struggles of the elderly. Romero’s PSA about elder abuse was shelved before it’s discovery and release over forty years later. The film was then made available for home media release. Join us at VHS Club to take a walk inside George A. Romero's reopened The Amusement Park.
