Being a horror aficionado myself (I was born on Halloween), I found del Toro’s life-long love affair with Dr. Frankenstein fascinating; and you must experience his “Rain Room” in Bleak House, which stimulates a perpetual thunderstorm. We are certain this exhibit will be packed prior to Oct. 31st, so hurry on down and be the first to experience this powerful presentation.
