Thursday, October 10: The Princess Bride

Thursday, October 18: Frogs 

Frogs is a 1972 horror film starring Sam Elliott, Ray Milland and Joan Van Ark. The film falls into the "eco-horror" category since it tells the story of an upper-class U.S. Southern family who are victimized by several different animal species, including snakes, birds, and lizards, as well as the occasional butterfly. Nature, the movie suggests, may be justified in exacting revenge on this family because of its patriarch's abuse of the local ecology.

The film was shot in Walton County, Florida, on the Emerald Coast in and around the Wesley House, an old southern mansion located in Eden Gardens State Park in the town of Point Washington, situated on Tucker Bayou off Choctawhatchee Bay.

The Friends of Eden Gardens State Park is a Florida Citizens Support Organization which assists the Florida Park Service in the preservation, restoration and improvement of Eden Gardens State Park. Follow Friends of Eden Gardens State Park on Facebook for updates and events. Thanks to Friends of Eden for bringing some of the community's favorite traditions to the Park: Camellia Festival (Feb), Fall Film Series (Oct), and Christmas Candlelight Tour (Dec).
