Before CGI: Six Sci-Fi Classics War of the Worlds The Heights Mon Sep 27 7:30  Alien invasion double feature! (1953, Byron Haskin, DVD, 85m) Amazing visual- and sound- effects dominate this sci-fi classic. The Martians' space ships featured a cobra-eye weapon that shoot disintegrating rays and whose freaky noise will haunt you in the night. Not even Spielberg could improve on the original. Unfortunately, Paramount has "de-confirmed" our reservation for the archive 35mm print, we will be screening the film with the Heights new 12,000 lumen digital projector. NOTE: All tickets for War of the Worlds include admission to Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Before CGI: Six Sci-Fi Classics Invasion of the Body Snatchers The Heights Mon Sep 27 9:15  Alien invasion double feature! (1956, Don Siegel, 35mm, 80min) Rakish country doctor Miles Bennell has a nagging suspicion that the wave of hysteria sweeping sleepy Santa Mira, CA might be something more sinister than paranoia. What if he’s right? What if he’s the only one who’s right?

Which tale of extraterrestrial takeover seems more terrifying?  Plausible?  Hilarious?  It's too close to call, so just see them both.
