Wednesday Lowdown: OK, This is One of the Better Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night Trailers We’ve Watched (VIDEO)
Hey, Wednesday!
As far as local out-and-about options are concerned, Humboldt is mostly still in its annual winter, no-students-around-to-profit-from hibernation period. (They’ll be back before you know it.) Thankfully, as a scroll of your Lowdown listings below reveal, most of your regular Wednesday lineup is up and running.
Notable on the list, hey, it’s Sci-Fi Pint and Pizza Night up at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. This week in films that have aged curiously: Equipped with ray guns that turn humans into floppy skeletons, the bad aliens have come to earth looking for a new home. As the trailer below promises, “you’ll watch the world tremble in the horror-grip of Teenagers From Outer Space (1959).”
Hopefully, your trembly hand don’t spill your pint. —AG

Teenagers from Outer Space (1959)

Creatures from outer space come to Earth after searching the universe for an ideal home. Their mission is to find grazing territory for their livestock of gargons.
