Following the premiere of the highly anticipated Black Panther movie, the Hungry Black Man organized an African-themed adult prom on Saturday night, February 17, at the Overtown Performing Arts Center. Tickets included an intimate evening of hand-crafted, historical cocktails and a Southern-style meal including chicken and dumplings, home-made mac and cheese, fried chicken and peach cobbler. A panel of judges voted on best dressed to crown Prom King and Queen of the night with a cash prize.

The Old Dark House: Even if it hadn't been essentially lost, James Whale's The Old Dark House (1932) wouldn't ever have fit, exactly, on the Mount Rushmore of Universal's horror greats: Frankenstein, that ol' corpse's wife, the Wolfman, Dracula and — since actually you can't see him we can get away with five faces on this mountain — the Invisible Man. Whale directed the debut of the studio's classic version of three of those characters, all but the Wolfman and the Mummy, and his impeccably atmospheric House, shot one year after Frankenstein and three years before the Bride thereof, stands as another example of his and Universal's 1930s streak of mining from horror lore an ideal essence. There's no perfect monster in House but there is a perfect haunted house, one where the lights won't stay on, the stairways creak, a madman lurks and a whimpering comes from behind a padlocked door. The film, now sparklingly restored, is to being trapped in a scary house what Frankenstein is to deranged scientists playing God: It's the movies' pure headwaters of the very idea.
