Invasion of the Body Snatchers Screening and Costume Party on October 30th

Original 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers to be screened on October 30.

The Manzanita Film Series is proud to present The Invasion of the Body Snatchers(1956) on Saturday October 30th at 7pm.  Admission is $6 and we are encouraging attendees to dress up in their favorite costumes to add to the festivities.  There will be prizes and giveaways all night long.

In this disturbing classic science fiction/ alien invasion film, Kevin McCarthy is Dr. Miles Bennell, a physician who returns to his small town practice to find his town has been taken over by an evil presence. Several of his patients are suffering from the paranoid delusion that their friends or relatives are impostors. The doctor is skeptical at first but then there are too many signs that the people in the town are being replaced by emotionless doppelgangers. When it becomes apparent that he and his finance are the only ones not yet “possessed” they make a desperate escape to get out of town and warn others.

The Manzanita Film Series is a program of the Hoffman Center in Manzanita, Oregon. Films are screened on the 4th weekend of the month through out the year.  Admission is $6 and theater concessions, as well as beer and wine, are available for purchase.
