It's Brides and Brains at Cinema a Go Go! Friday, June 13 - 7:00pm Liberty Hall, Lawrence, KS
KPR's Cinema a Go Go is back with another drive-in double feature at Liberty Hall on Friday, June 13.
Despite its ridiculous title, I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958) is actually quite a good film. Space invaders are kidnapping the men of Norrisville and replacing them with alien dopplegangers. Their plan is to breed with human females and thereby save their planet from extinction.
On the eve of his wedding, Bill Farrell is captured and replaced by a horny alien, who proceeds to creep out his bride Madge. When Marge learns the truth, she has trouble convincing anyone in town of the danger.
Our second feature is The Brain from Planet Arous (1957), a creepy but campy sci-fi epic in which scientist John Agar gets taken over by the evil brain monster Gor, who looks to be just a large balloon with eyes. Using Agar's body as a host, Gor plans to take over the world and make whoopee with his unsuspecting wife Sally.
This movie is laughably bad in places but still manages to work up some effective scenes, and features what's probably John Agar's best performance in a film.
Doors open 6:30pm, the show starts at 7:00pm at historic Liberty Hall in downtown Lawrence. Tickets available at the door!
