Fresh off the heels of a somewhat soggy but still pretty special Middle Waves music festival that brought prominent Tmusicians from all over the nation to Headwaters Park, small, privately owned Castle Gallery does pretty much the same thing, but for visual artists, when it hosts the Oil Painters of America’s 2016 Salon Show beginning September 30. Make no mistake about it, folks, in the art world, this is huge – not to mention the fact that it will be an opportunity to view and purchase some of the finest art currently being produced anywhere in the world. If you have any appreciation at all for fine art, you owe it to yourself to visit Castle Gallery sometime between September 30 and October 29. Mark Hunter has more on page 4. As big a deal as the OPA show is, it isn’t our cover story this week. That’s due to the fact that if northeast Indiana loves anything this time of year, it’s Halloween haunts. Accordingly, we’ve allowed Deimos Nosferatu to check in by way (again) of the afore- mentioned Hunter. Also featured this week are Such a Night, a recreation of The Band’s The Last Waltz; comedian Kathleen Madigan; CD reviews of D Ferren’s and Walkin’ Papers’ new releas- es; Michele DeVinney’s review of Freud’s Last Session; and much, much more. So, please, read on, make a point of enjoying some of the many entertainment and cultural opportunities our community has to offer and – as always – remember to tell everyone you meet and greet along the way that whatzup sent you. inside the issue • features FLIX...... 19 Sully SCREENTIME...... 19 COLUMBIA CITY HAUNTED JAIL...... 2 A Hundred Inches of Movie Bliss It’s Harvest Time Again FARE WARNING...... 21 OPA 2016 SALON SHOW...... 4 Film Premieres at Cinema Center A Convergence of Artists CURTAIN CALL...... 21 SUCH A NIGHT...... 5 Freud’s Last Session Playing with ‘The Band’ ON BOOKS...... 23 KATHLEEN MADIGAN...... 6 Disappearance at Devil’s Rock A Lady Walks into a Bar

But as he regained his strength he vowed revenge, and as you see here, he got it.” To punish his jailers, Deimos invited some of his nasty friends to ransack the jail and kill the sheriff and his family. “Was that the sheriff and his family in that bedroom?” I asked. “Could be.” As we descended into the catacombs, through the boiler room and beyond the cells, the temperature dropped and the hu- midity rose. Languid snakes drooped from the ceiling. Unseen creatures scurried along the dirt floor. Incorporeal moans echoed throughout the basement. At last, we emerged from the depths of the jail and into the room where Charles Butler’s executioner, Cane, sits eternally strapped to an electric chair, repeatedly shocked to the cusp of death. “He looks cozy, doesn’t he?” the care- taker said, as the smoke of scorched flesh encircled Cane’s head. “So, care to go out back and view our nice little killing shack?” The death shed stood at the end of a couple of mazes and a few maniacs with chainsaws. What prison yard maze would be complete without a little chainsaw tor- ture? After a quarter of a century, the Haunted Jail continues to offer one of the best haunts this side of Transylvania. It is painfully easy to lose yourself and your composure within its walls. And it’s one of the safest ways to get your wits scared out of you. At least that’s what the caretaker said. The tour ended, I the left property. And as the sun dropped below the horizon, I glanced up to a third-floor window where a subtle movement caught my eye. There, glaring at me with white eyes, was Deimos Nosferatu. He appeared to nod and even smile at me. I returned the gesture, but it was too late. He had disappeared leaving only a shadow floating where he had stood. SUCH A NIGHT From Page 5 this is a pretty big deal,’ I always tell them, ‘Don’t worry, because we’re just going to put you in a cradle and rock you back and forth like a baby.” Longtime media personality Chilly Addams, who will perform Neil Young’s set during the show, said the movie helped him understand what life was really like for these rock pioneers. He cited a Robbie Robertson quote from the film about how life on the road is a school where musicians either learn how to survive – or don’t. “To know more and understand how it was like for those that were actually pio- neering rock n’ roll; it’s an amazing thing to contemplate,” he said. “I will always do everything I can to promote music to anyone and everyone, to keep it in schools and to give those who don’t have a lot of opportunities a chance to play.” September 22, 2016------www.whatzup.com------7 Wooden Nickel ------Spins------CD of the Week D Ferren Something Like Forever BACKTRACKS D Ferren is the quintessential 10CC singer/songwriter.

Sept. 30–Oct. 2, 2016 Williams Theatre Blithe Spirit Directed by Craig A. Humphrey From the delightfully wicked mind of Noël Coward, the 20th century’s master of British wit and sophistication, Blithe Spirit sparkles with other-worldly charm and hijinks! “Noël Coward’s ‘improbable farce’ is really about a subject that haunts all Coward’s best comedies, which is the perils of long- term commitment.” –The Guardian ipfw.edu/theatre ipfw.edu/tickets 260-481-6555
