The Wood County Committee on Aging will feature four mystery thriller films for its “How About a Movie?” matinees in October on Fridays at 1 p.m., in the Wood County Senior Center, 140 S. Grove St., Bowling Green.

All the movies share a spooky theme, with the word “window” in the titles.

  • Oct. 7 – “Rear Window,” a 1998 remake of the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock version, starring Christopher Reeve and Daryl Hannah.
  • Oct. 14 – “Shadow in the Window,” a 1957 crime thriller featuring Philip Carey, Betty Garrett, John Drew Barrymore and Jerry Mathers, but not as TV’s “The Beaver.”
  • Oct. 21 – “The Window,” starring Bobby Driscoll, Barbara Hale and Arthur Kennedy in a 1949 crime/thriller about a boy who cried wolf one too many times.
  • Oct. 28 – “The Woman in the Window,” a 1944 crime/thriller with Edward G. Robinson facing a mid-life crisis experience and featuring Joan Bennett and Raymond Massey.

The movies are free and open to the public. Call the WCCOA Programs Department to make a reservation at 419-353-5661 or 800-367-4935, or email programs@wccoa.net.
