The swashbuckling Douglas Fairbanks stars with Wallace Beery in one of the most expensive movies of the 1920s (and the first to have a glitzy Hollywood premiere). The swashbuckling Fairbanks plays the dashing Earl of Huntingdon, who, after returning from the Crusades, adopts the moniker Robin Hood in order to defeat the treacherous Prince John, who has usurped the throne of the kind King Richard the Lion-Hearted.

 November 21st- HIGHLANDER: 35TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING (1986)

While this 1980s video store staple spawned many sequels and TV series, “There can be only one,” to quote the movie’s most quoted line. This modern sword-and-sorcery stars one-time Tarzan Christopher Lambert as Connor MacLeod (of the Clan MacLeod!), an immortal 16th-century Scottish Highlander living in 20th-century New York, who becomes embroiled in a fight to the death with other immortals, with the ultimate prize being the mysterious “Prize” (the power of all the immortals who have ever lived. Great performances by bad boy Clancy Brown as the evil Kurgan, and Sean Connery as MacLeod’s friend and mentor, Ramírez (a Spaniard… with a Scottish accent… but born in ancient Egypt). Featuring a great soundtrack by Queen.

Meet & Greet Trick Or Treat

What better place to trick or treat and meet all your child’s favorite fantasy characters than at an old, seaside castle? We have everything you need to ignite your child’s imagination: superheroes and princesses, a drawbridge, spiral staircase,  a Great Hall and even a pool in the middle of the Castle! We’ll have over a dozen characters and some spooky music but, you bring the scary costumes.

Timed Trick or Treat sessions will last approximately 15 minutes with five different treat stations set up within the Castle.  You will have opportunities to take your own photos of your child with their favorite ICe Queen Cosplay Princess Parties characters including but not limited to: Spiderman, Harley Quinn, Batman, Snow White & The Evil Queen, Cinderella & the Evil Step Sisters, Wonder Woman, Wreck It Ralph, and Rey & BB8.

It was our first brisk fall morning and Good Harbor Beach was beautiful at high tide. It seemed to be greeting autumn ! Maybe some of you are not able to be in Gloucester this fall and will appreciate seeing Good Harbor again. I know that I never tire of it.

Check out the video of our first fire:

The whole design is absolutely brilliant! I am frickin in love with this thing.It gives off great heat.
There’s virtually no smoke.
The base is cool even when the thing is roaring.
It’s built solidly from non rusting stainless steel.
It comes with a heavy duty carrying bag and is easily portable for you to bring to friends houses, camping, or wherever.
I frickin love it!

This is a total game changer and gets my official- “No-Brainer Purchase” designation.

I read in the Gloucester Times this morning that there was a Chinese yacht hauled out for repairs at Gloucester Marine Railways on Rocky Neck. She hit an iceberg north of Greenland on her attempted cicumnavigation of the Arctic Ocean. She apparently was denied passage through Canadian waters due to the COVID close-down, and was headed toward the Panama Canal on her return to China. She pulled into Gloucester for repairs.
