Details of the Grant Museum's winter programme is now up on their website. Fortean highlights listed below.
At 6.30pm on Tuesday 15 September there's a free big screen showing of seminal monster movie Frankenstein (1931), starring Boris Karloff. Dr Joe Cain, historian of science at UCL, will introduce the film, and there'll be a complimentary glass of wine in a private view of the museum after the screening.
The Grant Museum, with all its skeletons and skulls, rather lends itself to the celebration of Halloween. Witches and Lizards (5.30pm-8pm, Saturday 31 October) is a night exploring the role of animals in scare-stories, rituals and superstitions around the world. The event costs £3, payable on the door, and includes a complimentary glass of wine.
The Wolf Man (1941) is screening at 6.30pm on Thursday 26 November. A classic werewolf movie that established many genre conventions we now take for granted, it stars Lon Chaney Jr. as the ill-fated young man returning to his ancestral home in foggy Wales. It's a free event, and the film will be introduced by Dr Joe Cain; there'll be a complimentary glass of wine in a private view of the museum after the screening.
Grant Museum of Zoology, Darwin Building, University College London, Gower Street, WC1E 6BT. For more details ring 02076792647 or visit the museum website.
