PLAY MISTY FOR ME: ON THE AIR, ALL THE TIME

Nothing like a little post-Halloween ghoulish amusement with our new favorite FREE online radio station. Play Misty for Me is a tribute to the radio station Clint Eastwood spun the vinyl around on in the movie of the same name. You remember the movie Play Misty for Me, don't you? Clint Eastwood plays a disc jockey down the coast a bit in Monterey (with a cool bachelor pad in Carmel). A sexy kitten played by -- meow -- Jessica Walter -- gives him a call one night and asks him to "play 'Misty' for me," -- and next thing you know, it's a one night stand with "no strings attached". (Yeah, right.) Like "Fatal Attraction" only with better sideburns, shag carpeting and some downright serious smoky jazz that makes you wanna pick up the phone and make a request in the dark of night. Hear it here 24/7, or whenever you're in the mood for a little throw back time.

THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL, HALLOWEEN NIGHT, 8:30 PM

First up, the 1951 classic film noir, The House on Telegraph Hill (1951), which brings suspense, identity theft and murder home to our very own City by the Bay.

Followed by the short The Haunted Mouth (1974), we kid you not. Starring Cesar Romero (TV Batman's original "Joker"). $10 for both films. But you've got to send an email an RSVP to rsvp@info@oddballfilm.com due to limited space.
