Welcome to the EPL Cult Classics Film Club. Each month we will view and discuss a different cult classic drawn from the KANOPY streaming collection. We will cover a host of genres; horror, comedy, action, science fiction, fantasy, and more.
Here is how the film club works:
- On the first of the month, the title of that month’s selection will be at the library, on our website, and in our newsletter.
- If you are interested in participating in that month’s discussion, either online or in person, sign up for the club through the form on this page. To sign up you must have a valid EPL card and be over 18.
- After you register you will be sent two links, one for the film and the other to create a Discord account if you want to participate online. The Discord account is free. All discussions prior to our in-person meeting, will take place on Discord so creating an account in encouraged but not required.
- If you choose to interact on the Discord page, facts about the films and the cast, as well as graphics and videos relating to the film will be shared.
- On Tuesday, November 19 at 6:00 we will meet in the Presentation Room at the library to have a rousing discussion about the film and throw out some suggestions for December’s movie choice.
This month’s selection is the 1985 horror classic, Return of the Living Dead.
