\nThe Schwab hoodoo museum occupies the west side of the upper floor where the Monster Club screenings take place. Its artifacts contribute to the uncanny atmosphere of a space that already is alleged by local tradition and by the purveyors of Memphis “ghost tours” to be haunted. Said Kail: “There\u2019s something about sitting in a building that’s over 100 years old with creaking wooden floors. When you’re watching ‘Nosferatu’ in that environment, it’s really special.”<\/p>\n
“These films are, in a roundabout way, magic,” Cox said. “They didn’t have the technology we have. They get your imagination going.”<\/p>\n
The next Monster Club meeting, Cox said, will be a birthday tribute to Edgar Allan Poe, who was born Jan. 19, 1809. The meeting will be at 1 p.m. Jan. 24 at Schwab. The screening will be a double feature of Poe-inspired Universal productions with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi: “The Black Cat” (1934) and “The Raven” (1935). Each film runs just over an hour. In homage to Poe’s most celebrated poem, Cox has dubbed the event “Once Upon a Midday Dreary.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
