Click here to learn more about the Plaza Classic Film Festival
I’ll be taking a short hiatus from my usual movie and news posts to attend the Plaza Classic Film Festival in El Paso, Texas. This will be the sixth year the historic Plaza Theater has hosted this ten-day event which includes movies, special guests, and studio exhibits at the art museum. Guests this year include Rita Moreno who has her own special ties to the Plaza Theater. When the theater was in danger of demolition after years of neglect, Ms. Moreno staged a benefit concert which raised the last-minute money to save the theater. She returns this year with her first book, “Rita Moreno: A Memoir.” Joining Rita on the guest list will be Angela Cartwright and Margaret O’Brien. Beginning on Thursday keep and eye out for updates from the festival.
The blog will still run its daily Classic Hollywood Birthdays and Wednesday Hollywood Words, as well as an entry for the William Castle Blogathon which begins this week hosted by The Last Drive In and Goregirls Dungeon. Also look for daily updates during August for one of my favorite months…Summer Under the Stars.

I’m just dying with anticipation to see your piece on Ghost Story/Circle of Fear. We’re so thrilled to have you participating in our blogathon. Thanks so much for taking on the huge task of covering Castle’s very obscure but fascinating television anthology series. See ya soon-Cheers Joey
