Coming June 3rd – Fantasmo Cult Explosion Episode 3: Invasion of the Giant Monsters!

While movie monsters have been around since the dawn of cinema, in the 1950’s giant movie monsters became a full-blown phenomenon that is still going strong today. These creature features included the Godzilla movies of Japan, the atomically spawned ants, spiders, and miscellaneous insects of the United States, and the stop-motion beasts created by Ray Harryhausen to name but a few. On Friday, June 3, at the Chesapeake Central Library, Team Fantasmo is bringing two shining examples of the genre back to the big screen for your viewing enjoyment! These two outstanding genre entries are:

7:30 p.m. – The Mighty Peking Man (1977) – An unbelievably bad (but the good kind of bad) Hong Kong rip-off of the terrible 70s American remake of King Kong. This one gives new meaning to the word spectacle!

9:00 p.m. – 20 Million Miles To Earth (1957) – A classic monster movie featuring the special effects work of the legendary Ray Harryhausen (Jason & the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans, etc.). Not to be missed on the big screen!

If you have the courage and the fortitude, we invite you to join us in watching as these beloved creatures lay waste to a variety of model cities and aircraft! See you on June 3rd!
