Welcome mortals!

In early celebration of Halloween and as a wrap up of "Chills and Thrills Double Feature Night", We cordially invite you to a halloween party and movie night! Come dressed to impress in your spooky attire and enjoy popcorn, sweets and beverages as we settle in and watch two horror classics:

This Sunday's double feature will be two Scifi films, "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms" (1953)  & "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956)

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) :

Based off of Ray Bradbury's 1951 short story titled "The Fog Horn", this creature feature would become the impetus of giant monster flicks like Godzilla, King Kong & others, and is credited with heavily influencing the kaiju genre among Japanese cinema. The story follows a group of scientists whose tests of nuclear weapons in the Arctic release a prehistoric creature from its icy prison, unleashing it upon an unprepared world.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956):

Based off a screenplay of Jack Finney's 1954 novel of the same name, this film noir focuses the quiet extraterrestrial invasion of a small Californian town. A non-conformist classic in which a local town doctor notices his friends and neighbors in town are slowly being replaced by eerie lookalikes . Can he warn the outside world in time?
