LADY IN WHITE: A Nightmare & Schlockscapes Spotlight

Welcome to Nightmares and Schlockscapes, where movies that go bump in the night are dragged from beneath your bed and into the spotlight. The Gothic classics of yesteryear, the bodacious B-grades, and those celluloid chillers best watched through your fingers.


A great equalizer among cultures, small towns, and tight-knit communities throughout the world are the multitudes of fables and folklore that spring up within them. Some vastly different from one another, but many share surprisingly common traits. One such locality specific legend centers around a ghostly apparition known by the moniker "The Lady In White," and it feels like there's nary a quietly quaint town that doesn't have their own. But growing up in Rochester, New York, Writer-Director Frank LaLoggia knew only of one: The White Lady who roamed Durand-Eastman Park, never at rest, searching for her murdered daughter. A tragically lovelorn concept that LaLoggia recontextualizes, and builds upon, for his 1988 ghost tale, LADY IN WHITE. A stark, contemplative gem that was drowned out among it's more chaotic and rock n' roll horror brethren usually found in cinemas.
