The Paxton Carnegie Library will present a Family
Film Festival on Friday, September 13th. Beginning at 7pm, there will be showings of “Beginning
of the End, starring Peter Graves and Peggy Castle. This 1957 classic horror film has been
requested by many in the area, as it contains references to Paxton, Rantoul,
Ludlow, and Champaign. This will be
followed by “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” from 1956. Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter star in this
super-scary movie that will have you wondering which of your neighbors are
actually “pod people.”
Both films will
be shown on a large screen in the library’s rotunda on Friday night, a time
when the library is normally closed. It’s
a Double Creature Feature! All ages are
invited to stop by and enjoy this free program, which features scary old movies
and free popcorn. Whether you are
superstitious or not, it’s a great way to spend Friday the 13th!
