September
Mad Scientists presented by the
Smoking Gun Research Agency
Thurs., Sept. 9th at 6:00
Register August 16th
Scientists such as Edison, Bell, and
Einstein were responsible for some of the most renowned technologic
advancements in history. But there is a side to these historical
figures that most people don’t know-from attempts to contact the
dead, to experiments with time travel, to creating ‘death rays’ and
other strange equipment. In this new program, SGRA, will examine
the ‘fringe’ research that these famous “mad scientists” were
involved in.

Alfred
Hitchcock's landmark masterpiece of the macabre stars Anthony
Perkins as the troubled Norman Bates, whose old dark house and
adjoining motel are not the place to spend a quiet evening. No one
knows that better than Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), the ill-fated

her, the horror and the suspense mount to a terrifying climax where
the mysterious killer is finally revealed.
