"Hell House" - A documentary film. -2002.10.31 No pre-teens. $7.50 Various times.

"Each Halloween for the past ten years, the Trinity Christian School in Texas has presented Hell House. At first glance. Trinity's haunted house seems like a typical teen scream, except at this one the road to eternal damnation is paved with drugs, AIDS, school massacres, and abortions. The message is old school. Fire 'n' Brimstone 101: if you don't accept Christ, you pay the consequences. With full access, this fascinating documentary follows the process from the first script meeting, to a competitive casting call and opening night jitters. Yes, there is much humor (this is community theater after all), but director George Ratliff smartly presents a non-judgmental depiction of this distinctly American phenomenon. (2001)." Also showing Jean-Luc Godard's latest film "In praise of love".

Sunday 2002.10.27:

Daylight Savings Time ends. Set clocks back to 1am. Last Sunday in October Yearly. 2a.

Daylight Savings Time (DST) denotes the period of the year when clocks are set ahead one hour. Settings clocks ahead in the summer (spring ahead), and back in the winter (fall back) allows the clock hour to better match the cycle of daylight and night. This provides more daylight time during waking hours. DST was originally suggested by Benjamin Franklin in 1784. It began to be commonly observed during World War I. DST was formally adopted through the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Daylight Savings Time starts on the first Sunday in April and ends on the last Sunday in October.
