“PUT THE MASK ON NOW!”

October’s Classic Movie Night will feature 1961’s classic The Mask in 3D on Wednesday, October 19th at 6 PM in the Henkelman Room, located on the 2nd floor of Scranton Public Library.

The first (and only) 3D film made in Canada, The Mask was a staple of 1980s cable TV (free 3D glasses were given at convenient marts for its TV debut).

A young archaeologist believes he is cursed by a mask that causes him to have weird nightmares and possibly to murder. Before committing suicide, he mails the mask to his psychiatrist, Dr. Barnes, who is soon plunged into the nightmare world of the mask.

At certain points in the film, the audience is instructed to “PUT THE MASK ON NOW!” for a series of surreal nightmarish sequences shot in 3D.

Anaglyph (blue/red) 3D glasses will provided to those attending the screening.

The Mask is not rated and runs 1 hr. and 23 min.
