Hmm - well all will be revealed tomorrow, but we will have to go in person on Sat to pick up the tickets.

Wonder what the film will be - looks like a good experience!!

Maybe... Would you believe I've not seen that film properly yet??

Am trying to think of what film would take full advantage of the 4D situation they will have going on, wireless headphones and all...

The new Saw??

It said it was a classic screening so I just assumed it would be something older.

Whoops! I obviously missed reading that bit! :giggle: Still stumped as to what it could be then...

Could be John Carpenter's Halloween...thats a real classic and pretty appropriate timing. Not sure of its qualification for the promised 4d effects though.

As the clues point to East End, I cant help thinking of Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel which leads me to think of Time After Time but thats not a hollywood classic (cracking good film though!) so very unlikely to be that.

Do you have a VR headset? If so, maybe we can play a physical sports game or even be sports/fitness partners, hit me up if you keen.

It might be a Zombie movie like Night of the Living Dead and if it was held in a graveyard there would be plenty of scope for "special effects"

It's the Exorcist!!! I had actually thought of that... then thought, "Nah, can't be!" as I don't really consider that to be a classic. It's an okay film though, not very scary.

It seems an odd one to choose for a graveyard - I can't remember any scenes taking place in a graveyard - isn't nearly all of the action indoors? I agree about not very scary, if not downright funny.
I was keen to go to this, but the choice of film is making me think twice, especially with all the hassle involved in picking up tickets tomorrow.

That's what I thought! It was really funny wasn't it!!! Especially when the thing turns it head around and swears, "do you know what your daughter did, do you?" Made me laugh so much (I have omitted the swear words!). The whole thing was a joke. No, I don't think it is in any graveyards.

If the film were good, I would have gone picked it up but cemetry's don't really appeal to me. It's not the film that would scare me but rather the cemetry. I've never been a fan of graveyards. Avoid them at all costs. Good thing its not a film I'd want to watch on big screen anyway. No loss really.

I wonder who from here will be going.
