The Gill Man from Creature from the Black Lagoon is back! After being taken into captivity and escaping from his tank at the aquarium, the Creature is hunted down by a sympathetic scientist (Agar). 3D auteur Arnold loads the action with numerous striking underwater effects, recently restored by 3-D Film Archive. Revenge of the Creature also marks the big screen debut of Clint Eastwood, who plays a goofy lab assistant. After the screening, a discussion of the restoration with 3-D Film Archive founder Bob Furmanek.
Halloween Horror: On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before Halloween, three fabulously scary programs: a double feature of restored 3D horror movies presented in-person by Bob Furmanek of the 3-D Film Archive; a 35mm screening of Kathryn Bigelow’s '80s Western-vampire mashup Near Dark; and a family-friendly matinee of Laika’s stop-motion thrill-ride Paranorman (also part of our Chicago Film Society series).
