SPECIAL NOTE: Yes, this marks the return of MURDLE.COM who have hosted such awesome live murder mystery events in previous seasons so we’re now doing this every season! It’s a blast. Your date night is done for the week, cuz! The Live Murder Mystery happens first with prizes!
Your ticket is for the entire event. All audience purchasing a ticket need to arrive by 7:30pm when the event begins. We will be closing the doors shortly thereafter.
The amazing @gregkarber and his team at murdle.com publish a mystery a day and are currently on best seller lists from New York to London. We're honored to welcome them back as they put together/craft a special live "Secret Movie Club" mystery that starts at 7:30pm. Audience will wander our theater talking to the "Suspects" and searching for clues. We'll gather everyone at the end and pick a winner among those who figure out "who done it!". These nights have become a blast and sell out fast so please grab your tickets early if you want to attend. We figure this is a perfect "Halloween-o-thon" event.
We follow the murder mystery with one of the great whodunits from classic Hollywood:
Agatha Christie wrote many great mystery novels. But she wrote few greater than AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. Sometimes, if you get used to mystery novel structure, you can figure out the murderer ahead of the reveal. AND THEN THERE WERE NONE however is one of the most ingenious novels Christie ever wrote and very very few ever get ahead of the story.
A group of disparate guests are invited to a strange mysterious mansion on an otherwise desolate and abandoned island. One by one they start to die. . .or rather they start to get murdered. The murderer clearly has to be one of them. But will the surviving guests figure out who it is and why they are killing before it's too late?
Directed by French master Rene Clair (in exile during WWII), AND THEN THERE WERE NONE stars a (forgive the pun) murderer's row of amazing classic Hollywood character actors from Walter Huston to Barry Fitzgerald to Judith Anderson. Clair directs with just the right light touch to make everything suspenseful, engaging, and a wild ride without ever veering into the grotesque.
We have your Halloween season date set for a late October evening of mystery, murder, and Halloween fun. With the amazing Murdle.com at the Secret Movie Club.
Best always,
Craig Hammill
