FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Government ‘Ax-cess’ channel to feature classic horror movies
on Halloween
Edina, Minn., Oct. 10, 2012 – To encourage more people to tune in to Edina Community Channel 16, the
Communications & Technology Services Department is planning a special holiday movie line-up for Oct. 31.
Patterned after an initiative of the government access channel staff in College Station, Texas, classic
Halloween films in the public domain will highlight 16 hours of Halloween special programming on EDINA 16.
Most movies will appear in chronological order beginning at 8 a.m., with the most recent movies with the
most realistic special effects airing later in the day. Between movies, Emmy-nominated vignettes will air about
the City’s regularly televised meetings and programs, as will relevant public service announcements. The
lineup includes:
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (1920)
Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
Nosferatu (1922)
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923)
Phantom of the Opera (1925)
The Lady Vanishes (1938)
Curse of Frankenstein (1957)
House on Haunted Hill (1958)
Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959)
Duel (1971)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
“Residents of College Station, Texas, have come to look forward to the annual tradition of classic horror
movies being shown on Halloween. Now in our second year, we are hoping to have the same success
here and build viewership of EDINA 16,” said Video Production Coordinator Scott Denfeld.
