Atomic radiation spawns a pair of giant monsters who, as monsters tend to do, lays waste to everything in its path at KPR's next Cinema a Go Go.Our enormous double feature includes The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953), in which nuclear tests in the Arctic unearth a 200-foot tall dinosaur. The big whatzit then makes his way to New York City where (spoiler alert) he opens a big can of you-know-what on the Big Apple.
On the same screen you'll see It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955), where those pesky H-bomb tests drive a deep-dwelling giant octopus to the surface. From there it heads straight for San Francisco 'cause it's heard the Bay City is a party town. Pretty soon, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Ferry Building are rubble!
Both films showcase the amazing special effects work of stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen. His work has been featured in the 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, Jason and the Argonauts and many more.
Tickets for Cinema a Go Go will be available at the door. Made possible in part by Dr. Stephen H. Chronister, Healing Smiles of Topeka.
