PARADISE THEATRE presents INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956)

This October, celebrate the days leading up to All Hallows' Eve on Bloor Street- for twice the frights and twice the fun! The Paradise Presents: DOUBLE FEARTURES! Five nights of dire double bills- creepy classics old and new to welcome in the spooky season.

The aliens are coming on October 9th! Join us for both versions of the horror sci-fi classic INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. Starting at 6:30 with Don Siegel's original black and white film.

Something evil has taken possession of the small town of Santa Mira, California. Hysterical people accuse their loved ones of being emotionless impostors, of not being themselves. At first, Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) tries to convince them they're wrong...but they're not. Plant-like extraterrestrials have invaded Earth, replicating the villagers in giant seed "pods" and taking possession of their souls while they sleep. Soon the entire town is overwhelmed by the inhuman horror, but it won't stop there. In a terrifying race for his life, Dr. Bennell escapes to warn the world of the deadly invasion of the pod people! Remade in both 1978 and 1997, this chilling combination of extraterrestrial terror and anti-conformity paranoia is considered one of the great cult classics of the genre.

Join us for Philip Kaufman's 1978 remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS at 8:30 PM. You can get 30% off admission using the promo-code in your order confirmation email at checkout!
