Thursday Night Watch Party - The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians In-Person
Join us in the History Room every Thursday evening to watch a different film in the history, documentary and classic genres!
This week's film: The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians (1981 - 1hr 38min) A unique and almost indescribable mix of Gothic fiction, steampunk gadgetry, slapstick comedy and romantic opera, this wonderfully bonkers delight has elements of Terry Gilliam, Mel Brooks, and “The Benny Hill Show.” Based on an 1892 Jules Verne novel "The Carpathian Castle", the film follows Count Teleke of Tölökö (Michal Dočolomanský) on the trail of the count’s lost lover, opera singer Salsa Verde (Evelyna Steimarová) – only to discover she’s been abducted by fiendish Baron Gorc of Gorceny (Miloš Kopecký), whose castle home is filled with the bizarre inventions of mad scientist Orfanik (Rudolf Hrušínský).
