Midnight Movie with LaughFest and Pop Scholars: Celebration Cinema revives late night films
Share
Saturday, Aug. 13, 11 p.m. doors, 11:59 p.m. showtime
Celebration Cinema North, 2121 Celebration Dr. NE
Midnight movies used to be a staple of this town as college kids and locals from all over the county would descend upon a local theatre for the best in off-beat entertainment.
Looking to revive that former trend comes Celebration Cinema with a new series of midnight movie nights that will not only satisfy aging Gen X’ers desires to still say they can stay up past midnight, but it will open a new audience to the cult magic and joys of the late, late night cinema.
Joining the film “20 Million Miles to Earth” will be Laughfest, which has invited one of our local comedian troupes, Pop Scholars, to help guide you through the production in a fashion that they could only deliver.
“20 Million Miles to Earth” is the story of a manned space flight on a secret mission to Venus and back that accidentally crashes in the Mediterranean, losing an important addition to their cargo: reptilian-like eggs they harvested from our neighborhood planet’s surface. The story is classic 1950s sci-fi horror, complete even with an astronaut Calder, who is sure to provoke at least one or two outbursts from the comics because of our connection to an artist named Calder.
You could easily pay the standard $11 film admission price, or for $15 you can take advantage of the Midnight Bundle that includes your movie ticket, bourbon BBQ loaded fries, and a drink. And when they say ‘drink,’ they mean more than just a frozen Mountain Dew option, as your admission covers also a free beer or a specialty cocktail called a Starry Night.
And to tempt you even more, the Pop Scholars will be performing much like in the style of a Mystery Science Theater 3000 performance where this improv-focussed troupe will sit in the front row with microphones at the ready as they rip the movie apart with gut-busting one liners.
Be sure to visit Celebration Cinema’s
website
for all the fun happening this summer.
Admission: $11 for movie only, $15 for Midnight Bundle
