Leaves are falling, the nights are getting longer and a cool chill is creeping into the air as Halloween approaches. Antic Teatre knows this, and so, in collaboration with Film2, is hosting an autumn programme of retro science fiction films from the Fifties. Films with ‘classic’ titles such as Invasion of the Saucer Men (1957) and Teenagers from Outer Space (1959) will be shown, and connoisseurs of trash cinema are in for in an extra special treat: included in the programme are two films from infamously inept director Ed Wood Jr. (played by Johnny Depp in 1994’s Ed Wood). So on selected Monday nights cosy up with your loved one and prepare yourself to laugh more than scream: you’re in for a lot of cardboard UFOs.
