Event Film and Video Screenings Double Showing: Dementia 13 (1963) and Targets (1968)

Join us at the Packard Campus theater for a special double showing of the films, "Dementia" 13 (1963) and "Targets" (1968).

Dementia 13 (M-G-M, 1963) - Directed by Francis Ford Coppola: The untimely death of her husband and the desire to be benefactor of his will causes a young woman to try and deceive his family. Roger Corman produced this film with $40,000 leftover from another film. Coppola is best known for directing The Godfather and its sequels, but also directed The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. Black & White, 81 minutes.

Targets (Paramount, 1968) - Directed by Peter Bogdanovich: An old horror film actor announces his retirement but agrees to one last personal appearance at a drive-in movie theater. Always on the cheap producer Roger Corman made the film because Boris Karloff owed him two days of work.  Peter Bogdanovich, a renowned film critic at the time, would soon go on to direct many classics. 

Wearing face masks is recommended as the theater will open to 100% capacity. Patrons must go through an “airport style” security check, and no large parcels, purses or backpacks are permitted.

The Packard Campus is located at 19053 Mount Pony Road in Culpeper, Virginia. Access to the campus parking lot begins one hour before show time, entrance into the building begins 45 minutes before the show, and the theater opens for seating 30 minutes before the curtain. Please do not arrive early and queue at the Packard Campus gate.
