July 6th – August 16th
Creature Double Feature Saturday, July 26th, 1:00 p.m.
Two air-conditioned movies, popcorn, lemonade, and bloodthirsty beasts on a hot summer afternoon. We’ll screen two variations of a science fiction novel by Richard Matheson. Open to teens (age 13+) & adults. Registration NOT
required.
These movies are rated PG-13 for gore, violence and unpleasant-looking zombies.
I Am Legend, starring Will Smith. 101 minutes; 2007
Robert Neville is a scientist and survivor trying to outlast the mutated victims of the plague who have become blood-thirsty creatures. He sends out daily radio messages in a desperate plea to find any other survivors as he works on a cure for the plague using his own immune blood in this thriller.
The Last Man on Earth, starring Vincent Price. 86 minutes; 1964
From the Internet Movie Database:
“One cannot watch the scenes where the zombies lay siege to Price's boarded-up house and attack his car without recognizing how close these scenes would later be copied by George Romero in his classic zombie film Night of the Living Dead.”
