5 great things to do this week

#1

John MellencaMp

John Mellencamp’s Plain Spoken Tour visits F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, Wilkes-Barre, on Friday. The show starts at 7:30 p.m., and doors open at 6:30. Tickets are $49.50, $89.50 and $122.50, plus fees.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and Grammy winner has sold out more than 100 shows since hitting the road to support the release of “Plain Spoken,” his 22nd studio album. Out since September 2014, the album features such songs as “Troubled Man,” “The Isolation of Mister” and “Lawless Times.”

Carlene Carter, daughter of legendary musicians June Carter and Carl Smith and stepdaughter of Johnny Cash, joins Mellencamp for the show. She began her own career in the 1970s and co-wrote hits for Emmylou Harris and the Doobie Brothers.

Visit kirbycenter.org for more information.

Black Bear Film Festival

Fighting For sue

See 36 films in three days at the Black Bear Film Festival. The annual event runs from Friday to Sunday in Milford. Tickets are $150 for Gold Passes, $10 per film in advance and $12 per film at the box office. The Gold Pass includes admission to all films, the opening-night gala and the VIP Sunday Brunch; VIP reserved seating for the main stage and VIP entrance to the film salon.

The opening night gala begins Friday with a reception at 6 p.m., followed by a screening of “Mommy’s Box” at 8 at St. Patrick’s Hall, 111 E. High St. Tickets are $75, and reservations are required.

Milford Theatre, West Catharine Street, serves as the main stage, screening feature-length independent films and hosting celebrity guests. Pike County Public Library, 119 E. Harford St., hosts the film salon, which shows comedic, dramatic and documentary short films plus workshops and presentations.

For more information, visit blackbearfilm.com.

A benefit set for Saturday celebrates the life of a Scranton native who died of cancer earlier this month and raises money to help her family. Friends Fighting for Sue takes place Saturday from 1 to 7 p.m. at St. Anthony’s Park, 698 Hill St., Dunmore. The $15 admission goes toward the medical expenses of the late Susan Lisowski Graham and a college fund for her 16-year-old daughter.

Graham lived in Maryland, but maintained a house in Scranton, and organizers originally planned the benefit to raise money for Graham’s bills and to bring her home, her friend Corrine Cognetti said.

Mrs. Graham hoped to come back to the city for the rest of her time after learning in July she might only have upwards of two years to live.

“She wanted those last two years to be spent with her friends and family,” Ms. Cognetti said.

In 1997, Graham was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which went into remission after she had several surgeries and radiation treatments. After suffering from a pulmonary embolism after hernia surgery in 2015, she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer and underwent chemotherapy and a bilateral mastectomy. A trip to her pulmonary specialist in July, however, revealed her cancer had spread to her lungs, liver and chest wall, and was inoperable and incurable.

Several local businesses donated food and supplies for the benefit, which also includes raffle baskets, a 50/50 drawing and entertainment by Asialena, Graces Downfall, Dashboard Mary, Diary of a Madman and Jigsaw Johnny.

“Her wish if she didn’t make it to the benefit (was) that we would make it a celebration of her life, because she wanted her friends and family to remember her life, not to remember the cancer and how she died,” Ms. Cognetti said.

Visit the event’s Facebook page for details.

Bogart court grand opening

The Artists of Bogart Court hold their grand opening on the downtown Scranton street Friday and Saturday. On Friday, a ribbon cutting will take place at 5 p.m., followed by a reception running until 9. Saturday’s festivities will include free children’s activities from noon to 9 p.m.

The studios include AOS Metals, which sells handmade jewelry; Trinity Studio & Gallery, which houses Jennifer Blewitt Photography and works by Noreen Blewitt and Maryclaire Jordan; and Grapevine Design/Trinka Studios, which includes a graphic design firm and fine art. Visitors access the shops by walking through the Renaissance courtyard in the 500 block of Lackawanna Avenue and down the steps to Bogart Court.

The grand opening comes a couple months after the Kickstart Art Challenge, in which property owner Renaissance at 500 gave local artists a chance to compete for a retail location on Bogart Court. Winning artists received six months of free rent with the signing of a one-year lease.

For more information, visit the event’s Facebook page. —cw

SOUNDS

LEADING LADIES PURO INSTINCT — “Autodrama” THE GOOD: Five years after the distinctive yet uneven “Headbangers in Ecstasy,” sisters Piper and Skylar Kaplan finally return and shake up their sound for album No. 2.

THE BAD: Their shoegazing side is turned way down on “Autodrama.” Be prepared for a reboot.

THE NITTY GRITTY: Actually, the new album is surprisingly tight, accessible and way more accomplished than anything these girls have ever done before. Tracks like “Peccavi” and “Tell Me” are slick, catchy, synth-heavy pop songs;

NITE JEWEL — “Liquid Cool” THE GOOD: California-based singer/songwriter Ramona Gonzalez (stage name Nite Jewel) reclaims her independence with her third proper album.

THE BAD: No real issues, but no really distinct music either. “Liquid Cool” is a good, electronicbased pop record. But there are a LOT of those out there.

the two bridge the gap between vintage indie acts like Book of Love and ultra-modern fare such as Neon Indian.

OK, the album does lose some momentum across its second half.

Tunes like “End of an Era” and the album’s title track feel too ambitious and overreaching. Fortunately, “Autodrama” recovers with the cool, swaying “Want Your Love” just before its conclusion, leaving us already looking forward to the Kaplans’ next move. Hopefully we won’t have to wait another halfdecade to hear it.

BUY IT?: Yes. THE NITTY GRITTY: After battling over musical control with ex-label Secretly Canadian, Gonzalez is again a free agent. “Liquid Cool” is a return of sorts to her do-it-yourself roots. Yet, she doesn’t completely abandon the slick tendencies of 2012’s “One Second of Love.” The artist simply injects a bit more atmosphere and experimentation into the new stuff.

Gonzalez sounds more at home in these settings too, giving the music an amateurish quality that’s more charming than distracting. Whether it’s the bass-heavy, foreboding strains of opener “Nothing but Scenery” or the ultra-bubbly “Kiss the Screen,” the woman delivers the mysterious yet accessible goods. Now that she’s obtained her freedom, though, perhaps Gonzalez should find a voice all her own.

BUY IT?: Your choice.

BAT FOR LASHES — “The Bride” THE GOOD: British singer/songwriter Natasha Khan (stage name Bat

for Lashes) tells a story on her fourth.

THE BAD: “The Bride” is a concept album. Therefore, it sometimes falls into the usual trappings of concept albums and/or rock operas.

Some of the individual parts lose their momentum or even relevance when taken away from the greater work.

THE NITTY GRITTY: I’ll always be the girl that was denied. “The Bride” tells the story of a woman in love who’s left at the altar after her fiancé is killed in a car crash en route to the ceremony. After the tragedy, our main character goes on the honeymoon alone and then tries to put back together the rest of her life.

Lyrical tales aside, the record is typical Bat for Lashes. We get the usual mix of shoegaze, electronic new wave, postGoth overtones and modern folk. A heady, hypnotic concoction carried flawlessly by Khan’s soprano, “The Bride” perfectly blends focused narrative and ethereal pop.

BUY IT?: Definitely.

Grab the popcorn Belin Film Festival gives local filmmakers a place to shine

To kick off the Belin Film Festival on Friday, guests can attend a catered opening night gala at Waverly Community House, where James Franco’s film, “Don Quixote: The Ingenious Gentleman of La Mancha,” will screen for a large audience for just the second time.

festival schedule FrIDay 6 to 10 p.m.: Opening night gala, Waverly Community House 7 p.m.: “Don Quixote: The Ingenious Gentleman of La Mancha” screening, Waverly Community House SaTurDay 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.: Film School Workshop, Waverly Community House Noon to 2 p.m.: Shorts Block A (Mature), Dietrich Theater 1 to 3 p.m.: Shorts Block B (Quirky and Thoughtful), Theater at Lackawanna College 2 to 4 p.m.: Staged reading of “Retiring Agnes” screenplay, Waverly Community House 3 to 5:30 p.m.: “All in Time” screening, Dietrich Theater 4 to 6 p.m.: “Landfill Harmonic” screening, Theater at Lackawanna College 7 to 9 p.m.: “Occupy Texas” screening, Theater at Lackawanna College SunDay 1 to 3 p.m.: “PlayMe Burlesque” screening, Dietrich Theater 1 to 3 p.m.: Shorts Block C (Local/ Mixed), Theater at Lackawanna College 3 to 5 p.m.: BFF Challenge Screening, Theater at Lackawanna College

Don Quixote, Waverly Community House and James Franco might not share similarities at first glance, but on Friday they meld together for opening night of the inaugural Belin Film Festival.

The festival spawned out of the Belin Arts Scholarship and the F. Lammot Belin Arts Foundation in Waverly Twp., which awards funds to artists who worked, grew up in or were somehow inspired

by Northeast Pennsylvania, according to festival coordinator Alex MacNamara.

“I wanted to do something really, really special to add another element while the scholarship was still continuing,” Ms. MacNamara said. “I really wanted to broaden our impact, and I knew I wanted to do something with film. I was met with really positive feedback and willingness from the community to make this film festival happen.”

Film screenings and workshops take place this Saturday and Sunday at Waverly Community House in Waverly Twp., the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock and the Peoples Security Bank Theater at Lackawanna College in Scranton.

To kick things off Friday, guests can go to Waverly Community House for a catered opening night gala at which Mr. Franco’s latest film venture, “Don Quixote: The Ingenious Gentleman of La Mancha,” screens for a large audience for just the second time.

And West Pittston native Jon YonKondy was one of eight film students to co-direct the picture.

During his final year in graduate school at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, Mr. YonKondy applied for the opportu-

nity to co-direct a film for Mr. Franco’s production company, Rabbit Bandini. Mr. Franco wanted USC student writers to adapt Miguel de Cervantes’ book into a screenplay student directors then would film.

Of the 150 students who applied to work on the film, 10 were chosen to co-write and eight to codirect the classic tale.

“He’s a cinematic philanthropist,” Mr. YonKondy said of Mr. Franco. “He’s an odd guy, but he also has a very big heart and likes to help foster new talent in the industry. He teaches classes at USC, UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) and NYU (New York University). ... He was a wonderful guidance in the classroom. To learn from someone who knew so much about the process, from being an actor to a producer, and having that level of experience in the industry guiding us in the process from start to finish was amazing.”

Although the actor-producer won’t appear at the festival, it has a jammed-packed schedule for film buffs and filmmakers alike. Guests can see five feature films: “Don Quixote,” “PlayMe Burlesque,” “Landfill Harmonic,” “Occupy Texas” and “All in Time,” which West Hazleton native Chris Fetchko created. The weekend also includes three blocks of short film screenings in the categories “mature,” “quirky and thoughtful” and “local/mixed.”

To align with the festival’s theme of “Heritage and Inheritance,” several of the films hail from the region, but the festival also received submissions from as far as Greece and Australia.

Additionally, Waverly Community House will host two workshops Saturday. The Film School

Workshop with Dunmore filmmaker Lindsay Barrasse, set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., acts as a filmmaking 101 class and is free to festival ticket holders.

Then, a free staged reading of the screenplay “Retiring Agnes,” about the 1972 flood, runs from 2 to 4 p.m.

Mr. YonKondy believes the creative spirit behind his film resembles “the Belin spirit” of giving “a voice to young filmmakers who would not otherwise have that opportunity.” And, Ms. MacNamara said, “it’s great to bring a legitimate, life-size film festival to the area.”

“I hope it inspires kids who are interested in film,” she said. “I’m excited for it to be an artistic experience that everyone can collectively enjoy. It also feels like a real gift. We’re doing something for the community but also doing something for our local filmmakers by giving them a platform, giving locals a place to screen their films.”

ultures from around the world have contributed not only to Scranton’s history but also to today’s Halloween traditions.

As the holiday nears, the sixth annual Bonfire at the Iron Furnaces celebrates many of those pastimes and people. On Saturday night, the Scranton Iron Furnaces, 159 Cedar Ave., alight with a towering bonfire and activities for all ages from 6 to 10 p.m. Proceeds benefit the Pennsylvania Anthracite Heritage Museum.

Maureen McGuigan, Lackawanna County deputy director of arts and culture, said the bonfire offers high-quality entertainment and education that honors the city’s earlier immigrants as well as its newer ones.

“Every year I love seeing how it evolves,” she said. “It just keeps getting better, and it’s really a testimony to the (organizing) committee. The public, I think, we’re getting more new people coming out. ... I really like seeing the people enjoy it. As one of the organizers, that’s one of the best parts, to see the people having fun.”

This year, organizers expanded the activities into Bonfire Week, whose activities, art exhibits, food and more focus on not just fire but also cultural heritage, the harvest and industry.

Bonfire Week kicked off with the First Friday Art Walk and includes bonfire-themed specialty drinks and treats available through Saturday at city venues Adezzo, Bar Pazzo, Café Sveda, Terra Preta, the Keys Beer & Spirits, POSH at the Scranton Club, the Bog, Radisson at Lackawanna Station hotel, Whiskey Dick’s and Zummo’s Cafe.

Several businesses — including Duffy Accessories, Lavish Body and Home, Nibbles & Bits, Note Fragrances, On & On and the Post Home and Body — also offer seasonal deals, and some will display bonfire-inspired windows. The Radisson features a special Bonfire Week package that includes two tickets to the bonfire.

“The goal behind it is to kind of capitalize on that fun and energy (of the bonfire) and kind of spread it around downtown,” Ms. McGuigan said.

Other Bonfire Week activities include a sugar skull paint night Thursday from 6 to 9 at Adezzo, 515 Center St. On Friday, The Leonard Theater, 335 Adams Ave., hosts the Boss Lady Mixer and Costume Party, a women’s networking event, from 7 to 9 p.m., and the artists of Bogart Court will hold their grand opening Friday and Saturday.

“October’s a busy month, and maybe not everyone can get to the bonfire, but we still want the people to get into the party,” Ms. McGuigan said.

“It’s the reason for adding other activities.”

Organizers always try to weave different cultures into the festivities, Ms. McGuigan added.

make lanterns and carry them in a procession to a bonfire.

Other features of the cultural tent include the Day of the Dead ofrenda, which draws on Mexican culture; a harvest display by the Greenhouse Project of Nay Aug Park; and jack-o’-lanterns, a Halloween tradition based on an Irish folk tale and custom.

In addition to the lighting of the bonfire, which takes place from about 8:15 to 8:30 p.m. and includes a short procession down the hill to the iron furnaces, the event also offers food from a few local restaurants plus traditional Mexican tamales, spiced cider, hot chocolate, beer and wine.

Artist Brian Murray of Reclamation Industrial Furnishings will present a large-scale art-installation that highlights the site’s blast furnace. Other activities include face painting and tarot card readings, and a fire hooper, a fire spinner, fire twirlers, balloon artists and stilt walkers also will entertain the crowd.

“We had one stilt walker last year, but this year we’re going to have a core of stilt walkers,” Ms. McGuigan said. “They’re going to perform in the procession and up on top (of the iron furnaces) before the fire.”

On the main stage, meanwhile, Symmetry Dance performs original choreography from 6 to 6:30 p.m., Colleen Bender and Jimmy Reynolds sing from 6:30 to 7:30, and the band Light Weight plays from 8:30 to 10.

Admission is $15 in advance online and $20 at the gate and includes $5 in “Bonfire Bucks,” which guests need to use for food, beverages and activities (more tickets will be available for purchase at exhibit through Dec. booths that night). Children 12 and younger enter 31, for a fairy tale disfor free, Ms. McGuigan said, because organizers play and activity. Fairy tales for all ages will be want everyone to be able to access the bonfire.

“There’s something very beautiful and primal shared on the Firebowl about (the bonfire), really,” Ms. McGuigan said. “I Stage from 6 to 7:30 do think there’s something for everyone. All of the p.m., and the band activities the family can enjoy, a person in their 30s Schützengiggles plays can enjoy. It’s just a fun fall night. I think people traditional brass oomlove fall naturally, and it’s nice to be outside. (There pah music on the main stage from 7:30 to 8:15. is) this big fire and a sense of community, but you’re also learning things in a fun way.”

SCREENS

OPENING THIS WEEK

by Richard Roeper

NOW PLAYING

“THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN” HH Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson Yawn Girl.

The hope was “The Girl on the Train” would be this year’s version of “Gone Girl” — a lurid and occasionally credulity-defying but immensely entertaining and satisfying thriller based on a best-selling page-turner.

Not even in the same bloody ballpark.

Tate Taylor’s adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ compulsively readable psychological murder mystery fails to match David Fincher’s interpretation of the Gillian Flynn thriller on every level.

It’s shiny trash that begins with promise but quickly gets tripped up by its own screenplay and grows increasingly ludicrous and melodramatic, to the point where I was barely able to suppress a chuckle at some of the final scenes.

And this is no comedy.

Not that “The Girl on the Train” strays far from the source material (although the locale has been moved from the U.K. to New York state).

But sometimes what works quite effectively on the printed and/or downloaded page has one rolling one’s eyes at the stupidity of a number of main characters and the convenient plot twists you should be able to see coming around the bend like a commuter train. (And I’ll bet that’ll be the case even for viewers who haven’t read the book.)

Emily Blunt gives a fine performance in a role that requires her to be inebriated, blackout drunk, reeling from a massive hangover, shedding tears, throwing a fit, engaging in obsessive stalking — or some combination of the aforementioned. It’s exhausting just watching her. “The Girl on the Train” could really use one of those sleeper cars.

Blunt’s Rachel is an emotionally scarred alcoholic in full free-fall some two years after her husband, Tom (Justin Theroux), had an affair with their real estate agent, a beautiful young blonde named Anna (Rebecca Ferguson); dumped Rachel; married Anna; moved Anna into the home Rachel decorated — and had a baby with Anna.

So to sum up: bad couple of years for Rachel.

Every morning and every night, Rachel takes the train to and from the city, a train that zips by so close to Rachel’s former neighborhood, she can catch glimpses of her ex-husband and his

“The Girl on the Train” new wife and their baby through the windows.

Rachel’s equally fixated on a house just a couple of doors down, where she sees ANOTHER beautiful young blonde, Megan (Haley Bennett), and her gorgeous hunk of a husband, Scott (Luke Evans), who seem to be living the perfect life, reminding Rachel of her marriage to Tom before things went so sour.

By the way: Megan is Anna’s nanny.

In the immortal words of the Eagles in “Life in the Fast Lane,” are you with me so far?

The screenplay by Erin Cressida Wilson flashes back six months, four months, two months, a few days ago, with intermittent stops in the present, and switches viewpoints from Rachel to Megan to Anna — though Rachel’s story remains firmly at the core of everything.

We learn one dark secret after another about each of the women, and the men in their lives, and how just about everyone is living some version of a lie and their lives are entangled in a sleazy pile of twisted, sometimes sadistic and eventually violent behavior.

Rachel is a complex, terribly sad, deeply troubled woman, ravaged by her disease, drowning because of her own actions, but fighting to

22 O c t o b e r 1 3 , 2 0 1 6 e l e c t r i c c i t y TS_CNG/EC_DC/PAGES [E22] | 10/12/16

16:06 | GRAHAMTOM

the very end to get to the truth and to find salvation along the way.

Theroux as Rachel’s ex, Evans as Megan’s husband and Edgar Ramirez as one of the worst therapists in modern screen history are all fine actors, but they’re stuck playing characters with little nuance.

Bennett’s Megan is a tragic character, and when we learn the full, horrific reason why, Bennett delivers with a stunning monologue. Ferguson’s Anna is window dressing until it’s time for her to make some key decisions — and her actions are ridiculous. I’m not sure a young Meryl Streep could have made this role sing.

And then there’s Allison Janney’s detective, whose primary purpose seems to be to taunt Rachel and to violate so many basic rules of police investigation her superiors should be arresting HER by the end of this movie. It’s not a bad performance, but it’s a terrible, laughable role.

The same could be said for the big confrontation when All Is Revealed — and the epilogue, which tries to make some kind of female bonding statement about Rachel, Anna and Megan.

No sale.

NOW PLAYING “The Birth of a Nation” (Historical drama, R, 120 minutes). Writer-director Nate Parker also stars in this violent historical drama as Nat Turner, leader of a slave rebellion in 1830s Virginia. He reaches with both hands for greatness and falls short, but this is nevertheless a solid, strong and valuable piece of work. Rating: HHH. “Deepwater Horizon” (Disaster action, PG-13, 97 minutes). Mark Wahlberg and Kurt Russell play the real-life good guys aboard the oil rig before and after the explosion and fire that created the largest offshore oil spill in history. This is a wellmade, sometimes horrifyingly realistic re-creation of events, but it often feels like a formulaic disaster film. Rating: HHH. “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” (Fantasy, PG-13, 122 minutes). Tim Burton’s adaptation of the popular children’s book about a school for freakishly gifted children is a messy, confusing, uninvolving mishmash of old-school practical effects and CGI battles. It’s like watching a master musician play a piano he somehow doesn’t realize is out of tune. Rating: H1/2.

“The Magnificent Seven” (Western action, PG-13, 133 minutes). A team of mercenaries is hired to protect a mining town in a rousing, albeit sometimes cheesy, action-packed Western bolstered by Denzel Washington’s baddest-of-thebadasses lead performance and some of the most impressively choreographed extended shootout sequences in recent memory. Rating: HHH. “Queen of Katwe” (Sports drama, PG, 124 minutes). This uplifting story of a poor Ugandan girl with a knack for chess follows the formula of Disney sports movies, but works because of Mira Nair’s energetic direction and an endearing cast led by Lupita Nyong’o and newcomer Madina Nalwanga. Rating: HHH. “Bridget Jones’s Baby” (Comedy, R, 122 minutes). From start to finish, the third “Bridget Jones” movie seems strangely out of touch. It’s so predictable and so cloying and so insulting to the audience, it’s a wonder star Renee Zellweger and all parties involved didn’t just shrug their shoulders and walk off the set in defeat halfway through the movie. Rating: H1/2.

“The Birth of a Nation”

SMALL SCREENS “The Shallows” (Thriller, PG-13, 85 m., 2016).

I’m not going to tell you Blake Lively’s 12-round faceoff against a stalker-y shark isn’t dumb, corny and hilariously over-the-top. What I will tell ya is, this is an immensely entertaining millennial B-movie, made for summertime viewing. Rating: HHH.

“The Legend of Tarzan” (Adventure, PG-13, 110 m., 2016). Alexander Skarsgard manages to not look silly in the most expensive and most epic adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ King of the Jungle. But there’s always been something a bit ridiculous about the whole Tarzan premise, and there’s very little about this film that screams, YOU GOTTA SEE THIS. Rating: HH1/2.

“The Infiltrator” (Crime thriller, R, 127 m., 2016). Bryan Cranston is perfection as a real-life U.S. customs agent who goes deep undercover to infiltrate one of the biggest drug cartels in the world. A great-looking, well-paced, wickedly funny and seriously tense thriller that is one of the year’s best films. Rating: HHHH. “Ghostbusters” (Comedy, PG-13, 117 m., 2016). This gender-swapped reboot of the classic is a ghostly, ghastly mess. Cheesy special effects, bad acting and a terrible script combine for the perfect storm. With Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. Rating: H.

“Swiss Army Man” “Swiss Army Man” (Adventure comedy, R, 95 m., 2016). One of the weirdest movies I’ve ever seen concerns a stranded man (Paul Dano) and the corpse (Daniel Radcliffe) he treats as a friend and multipurpose tool. Stick with it, and it might grow on you as it grew on me — and you’ll be rewarded with maybe the best ending of any movie so far this year. Rating: HHH.

“X-Men: Apocalypse” (Superhero action, PG-13, 135 m., 2016). A visual feast brimming with stellar performances, this sequel/prequel/ stand-alone adventure breaks no fresh ground. But it contains perhaps my favorite scene of any movie this year, a super-duper-duper-duper-speed rescue

by Quicksilver that’s beautiful, funny and altogether magical. Rating: HHH.

“The Neon Demon” (Horror thriller, R, 117 m., 2016). Elle Fanning stars as a teenage model adored by some and resented by others in a darkcrimson, waking nightmare of a movie, filled with stunningly beautiful and sickeningly horrifying visuals. For a film so aggressively intent on big shock moments, it’s more often stultifying and tedious than provocative. Rating: HH. GRADE: HHHH Excellent, HHH Good, HH Fair, H Poor.

haunted attraCtion reviewS by Joe rovinSky 2016 Dracula’s Forest 2828 Rock Road, Clarks Summit draculasforest.com

Dracula’s Forest has spent 33 years providing a haunted attraction experience that in some aspects has been frozen in time, for better or worse. We have never visited an attraction that has so much potential to be something truly special yet fails to capitalize on its rather obvious strengths. We have enjoyed Dracula’s Forest every season and continue to do so, but so much more can be done to compete in an increasingly aggressive market in which new attractions offer more relevant, detailed and mature attractions at a similar price point.

Dracula’s Forest features two attractions, the vintage Haunted Hayride and additional Walk of Doom. Each attraction, while enjoyable, can be greatly enhanced to address the horror interests of diverse age groups and haunt fans, while justifying a rather steep $25 price for a combo ticket.

The Haunted Hayride is a throwback to the gritty hayrides of year’s past, using unique set pieces and an amazing atmosphere/environment to create a memorable haunted attraction experience.

The realistic, custom-built set pieces, some of which have been present over the past several seasons, are not found in many larger scale haunted attractions. The Haunted Hayride effectively hides scare actors who augment the various vintage scenes found throughout the attraction. While the set designs feature unique props and structures unlike any other, there is an overall lack of theming between each scene. Furthermore, the scare actors are generally actors dressed in hooded sweat-shirts and jeans. Actors in random skull masks, while scary for children or teens, fail to reach the potential of the attraction.

Several minor changes and alterations were

Soaking up the SudS with JameS Crane made to the hayride this year, some which improved the experience while others were perplexing. Midpoint during the hayride, a loud speaker/ announcer “welcomes” guests to the attraction.

This soundtrack choice was odd as it distracted from the vintage “Haddonfield” memorial hospital scene and generally felt out of place. Furthermore, Dracula’s Forest at one time featured an insane flying chainsaw scene, which has since been abandoned. While these changes hurt the overall experience, we enjoyed the new, more theatrical Michael Myers/Halloween climax which was a step in the right direction regarding theming of each hayride scene.

The Walk of Doom is an outdoor, partially self-guided tour of the creepy woods surrounding the hayride at Dracula’s Forest. The dense foliage and dark atmosphere of the attraction make perfect backdrops for a terrifying experience. While we explored the trail, we again encountered a variety of random scare actors who had little purpose or thought put into their characterization. Being lost in the dense forest of the attraction generates fear, as the environment and surroundings of the haunt are truly frightening.

Final Word From a nostalgic standpoint, it is easy to appreciate the unique oldschool feel to this attraction as many of the vintage set designs and scenes are unlike any other in modern haunted attractions. Minor alterations to this attractions approach, as well as some modernization regarding promotion, presentation and execution of the attraction would go a long way toward providing an unforgettable experience that keeps Dracula’s Forest at the forefront of the haunted attraction industry.

oktoberfeSt brew an invention of neCeSSity Fun fact of the day: Oktoberfest starts in September. It also only happens in Germany. I’m sure you’ve all seen local celebrations that shared the title, but in truth, they are just celebrations of the real celebration that happens in Munich. Oh, and the original celebration had a lot more to do with horses than beer. And, no, the horses weren’t drinking.

Oktoberfest traces back to 1810, when King Ludwig I married Princess Therese of Saxehildburghausen, and they held some horse races to celebrate. It was fun enough that they decided to repeat it the next year and most every year since, barring time off for war and disease. They also started sampling beer and added swings, tree climbing, bowling alleys and other attractions until it was just one hell of a party. Toward the end of the 19th century, they started serving bratwurst and beer in glass mugs. It started to look like the Oktoberfest we know and love.

The beer we refer to as Oktoberfest is actually called Marzen. Marzen — whose name comes from the German for “March,” when brewers traditionally made it — was, like many things, an invention of necessity. Unlike most lagers, Marzen was made to last a bit, as brewing used to be forbidden in the summer.

Brewing in hot weather was risky business.

Higher temperatures provide a great environment for nasty organisms to colonize, nothing anyone wants. To avoid that, brewers made Marzen in March and drank it until the cooler temperatures came back. Beer made in September was ready to

drink in October, so September was a great time to drink up that stash you hoarded in your cellar.

Marzen and Oktoberfest became tightly linked since the celebration serves Marzen. The beer generally ages in cellars until late summer, with the last of the bottles served during the festival. That aside, I enjoy Marzen just because they are delicious, like drinking a liquid bread. As far as lagers go, they are one of the best. I always grab a few every September to sample before pumpkin beer kicks it all off the shelves.

This week, I had a bottle of Dominion’s Octoberfest to celebrate. The golden orange color had a slight head. It was the perfect shade and smelled of malt more than anything else. There was a bit of caramel and a little bit of floral hops. The lager yeast also comes through in the nose. Nothing was out of the ordinary on this front.

The brew tasted just like it should. It was like drinking a pretzel. The malt was in the forefront, making each swallow delicious and savory. It has a slightly sweet finish with a hint of caramel. It was enough to cut the savory but not enough to be a turn off. While none of this was necessarily surprising, it was quite welcomed.

This beer wasn’t really a variant on the theme, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a solid Marzen that does exactly what it should. The body is light enough to be super drinkable. It is delicious and goes down easy. It’s a great beer to drink before the heavier beers of the holidays come around.

Dominion does it just like it should.

UP CLOSE & PERSONAL

WITH ALAN K. STOUT

Grant Williams is a professional musician who has performed with regional bands such as Graces Downfall and Umbriel. He will release his first solo album, “Suspended Animation,” on Tuesday and hold an early CD release party Friday at Thirst T’s Bar & Grill in Olyphant. He is employed at Northeast Music Center, Dickson City. Williams, 29, is a native of Old Forge and is a graduate of Old Forge High School. He also studied at Marywood University. He lives in Old Forge.

Meet Grant Williams …

You’ve played bass in some really good bands over the years. What inspired you to write and record a solo album?

I was always toying with the idea. I’d just sit there and noodle with something until they became songs. I had a sound-check song and a middleof-the-set-song that were just for me. Eventually,

not living in it, you’re trying to overcome it. What factor in your life is making you live in that suspended animation? That’s the unifying theme of the record.

Are you open to the idea of joining another band?

If the right one shows up. But I don’t want a rebound band. It has to be the right one.

Do you follow sports?

I follow college football. I like Penn State. I’ve spent so much time there I consider it home. We’ve had a rough couple of years, but I can’t let go.

All-time favorite movie?

“Star Wars.” Any of them except “II.” The “Attack of the Clones” is borderline unwatchable.

All-time favorite TV show?

“Scrubs.”

Favorite holiday?

Halloween.

Favorite quote or catchphrase?

Who are some of your all-time favorite bands?

“If you have easy days, your life is going to be hard. If you have hard days, your life is going to I love Incubus. And be easy.”

Tool is a big one. And the Beatles probably more than anything. I remember going Any pets? out and picking up each A dog, Tipsy. And two rats, Turk and J.D. remaster. I did one record at a time, just so I could give Biggest pet peeve? every record its own time.

Negativity. I don’t mind if you’re negative, but don’t be negative and do nothing. If you’re Who are your favorite presented with an opportunity to fix something that bassists? you’re complaining about, and you don’t, then I GRANT WILLIAMS Ryan Martinie from don’t want to hear you ever again. People that are Mudvayne.

He’s the guy that just determined to be stagnant — and then just when I found myself band-less, I didn’t want to sent me in this direction.

I hear him the most in my complain that they’re stagnate — drive me nuts. go looking for a rebound band that I would just playing.

And anybody that plays bass will say Victor breakup with again in a year. So I just started Guilty pleasure? focusing on my album, and it started to get its own Wooten. And Les Claypool from Primus. Those three would be the heavy hitters.

I love Maroon 5. legs, and then I’d add something new to it and write another song, and it would be bigger. It’s nice, What do you enjoy doing in your free time? because it started off pressure-free. There was no I enjoy learning more about outer space. I also “We have to do this” or “We have to do that.” It enjoy video games, making small road trips and was truly a work of passion. catching live local shows.

You’ve also shot a few music videos for the album, correct?

I’m going to make one for every song on the CD. The album is all instrumental, and though the songs don’t have words, they all have meanings. And so I have to hammer people over the head with the visual aspect of what it means. (Laughs.) Plus, there is a big visual element to the songs, and so having the stories visualized adds another dimension that would be missing with just instrumental music.

Favorite thing about Northeast Pennsylvania?

I like the community, especially in music. We don’t give ourselves enough credit for how supportive we are. You’ll have negative people — and they’re louder — but they don’t outnumber us.

Favorite city?

New York City. I don’t know why, but I end up there all the time, and it’s never boring. I’ve never gone there and been bored, even if it was for a boring reason.

What inspired the songs?

A little bit of everything, but the overall theme Favorite vacation spot? and the reason it’s called “Suspended Animation” England, to visit the family. Most of them are is lost time. Either myself (or) other people have there.

I’m third generation off the boat. Our lineage all wasted time on either addictions or terrible is all England, and it’s just us over here. We’re the behavior or bad relationships. You’re not living; standout outcasts.

(Laughs) you’re just surviving. And that’s the theme. If you’re

Most memorable professional moment?

When Graces Downfall played the Pavilion at Montage Mountain for the second time. When I was about 17, I was at Ozzfest, and I was watching Ozzy and Korn and all of the bands on that stage, and though I was only playing guitar for maybe two years, I said “I’m going to play there.” And I did, twice. And so anymore, if I have something crazy in my head and think, “One day I’m going to do this,” it’s not so crazy. Just the fact that playing there became a tangible reality makes everything a tangible possibility. And it wasn’t just a pipe dream that happened by accident. We did it twice.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): A study published in the peer-reviewed “Communications Research” suggests that only 28 percent of us realize when someone is flirting with us. I hope that figure won’t apply to you Aries in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological situation, you will be on the receiving end of more invitations, inquiries and allurements than usual. The percentage of these that might be worth responding to will also be higher than normal. Not all of them will be obvious, however. So be extra vigilant.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The ancient Greek sage Socrates was a founder of Western philosophy and a seminal champion of critical thinking. And yet he relied on his dreams for crucial information. He was initiated into the esoteric mysteries of love by the prophetess Diotima, and had an intimate relationship with a daimonion, a divine spirit. I propose that we make Socrates your patron saint for the next three weeks. Without abandoning your reliance on logic, make a playful effort to draw helpful clues from non-rational sources, too. (P.S.: Socrates drew oracular revelations from sneezes.

Please consider that outlandish possibility yourself.

Be alert, too, for the secret meanings of coughs, burps, grunts, mumbles and yawns.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The Helper Experiment, Part One: Close your eyes and imagine that you are in the company of a kind, attentive helper – a person, animal, ancestral spirit or angel that you either know well or haven’t met yet. Spend at least five minutes visualizing a scene in which this ally aids you in fulfilling a particular goal. The Helper Experiment, Part Two: Repeat this exercise every day for the next seven days. Each time, visualize your helper making your life better in some specific way. Now here’s my prediction: Carrying out The Helper Experiment will attract actual support into your real life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): New rules: 1. It’s unimaginable and impossible for you to be obsessed with anything or anyone that’s no good for you. 2.

It’s unimaginable and impossible for you to sabotage your stability by indulging in unwarranted fear. 3. It’s imaginable and possible for you to remember the most crucial thing you have forgotten. 4. It’s imaginable and possible for you to replace debilitating self-pity with invigorating self-love and healthy self-care. 5. It’s imaginable and possible for you to discover a new mother lode of emotional strength.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s swing-swirl-spiral time, Leo. It’s ripple-sway-flutter time and flowgush-gyrate time and jive-jiggle-juggle time. So I trust you will not indulge in fruitless yearnings for unswerving progress and rock-solid evidence. If your path is not twisty and tricky, it’s probably the wrong path. If your heart isn’t teased and tickled into shedding its dependable formulas, it might be an overly hard heart. Be an improvisational curiosityseeker. Be a principled player of unpredictable games.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some Englishspeaking astronomers use the humorous slang term “meteor-wrong.” It refers to a rock that is at first thought to have fallen from the heavens as a meteorite (“meteor-right”), but that is ultimately proved to be of terrestrial origin. I suspect there may currently be the metaphorical equivalent of a meteor-wrong in your life. The source of some new arrival or fresh influence is not what it had initially seemed. But that doesn’t have to be a problem. On the contrary. Once you have identified the true nature of the new arrival or fresh influence, it’s likely to be useful and interesting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Most of us can’t tickle ourselves. Since we have conscious control of our fingers, we know we can stop any time.

Without the element of uncertainty, our squirm reflex doesn’t kick in. But I’m wondering if you might

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a perfect moment to launch or refine a project that will generate truth, beauty, and justice. Amazingly enough, now is also an excellent time to lunch or refine a long-term master plan that will make you healthy, wealthy, and wise. Is this a coincidence? Not at all. The astrological omens suggest that SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the final ten your drive to be of noble service dovetails well with weeks of 2016, your physical and mental health will your drive for personal success. For the foreseeflourish in direct proportion to how much outworn able future, unselfish goals are well-aligned with and unnecessary stuff you flush out of your life selfish goals. between now and October 25. Here are some suggested tasks: 1.

Scream nonsense Aquarius, it means you’re curses at the night sky for as long as it takes to not fully in harmony with purge your sadness and anger about pain that no your best possible destiny. longer matters.

So get to work! Attune yourself to the cosmic tendencies! And if you are SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A Budindeed reaping the benefits I mentioned, congratudhist monk named Matthieu Ricard had his brain lations – and prepare for even further expansions scanned while he meditated.

They assume that person in the world.” Since he’s neither egotistical you Pisceans are perversely nor fond of the media’s simplistic sound bites, he’s drawn to fear; that you are not happy about that title.

Here’s serenity and fulfillment, another way to celebrate the Golden Age: Discover resilience, as well as a and explore previously unknown sources of joy clear and stable mind that does not distort reality and excitement. too much.” get a temporary exemption from this rule in the coming weeks. I say this because the astrological omens suggest you will have an extraordinary capacity to surprise yourself. Novel impulses will be rising up in you on a regular basis. Unpredictability and spontaneity will be your specialties. Have fun doing what you don’t usually do!

verbally “reassuring her,” which, admittedly, probably takes at least several words and a whole 10 seconds — if you include the time it takes for her to beam and go, “Reeeeally?!”

Yes, it is important for you to reassure her — but, in doing that, motivation counts. Social psychologist Shelly Gable finds that relationships tend to be happier when those in them are guided by “approach” rather than “avoidance” goals. In normal-person terms, this means striving for positive outcomes rather than trying to avoid negative ones. In this case, an avoidance goal would be telling your girlfriend she’s beautiful in order to keep her from nagging you, but taking the “approach” approach would be doing it because you want her to feel good. And here’s a secret: Break out the compliments before she asks and you might keep her from starting to worry that she needs “extracoverage” makeup — the kind that involves scaffolding, three workmen and $200 worth of drywall.
