(VIDEO) WEDNESDAY LOWDOWN: Ahhh!
It’s standard protocol for a Wednesday’s at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. Sci-Fi Night allow audiences a chance to provide their own version Mystery Science Theater 3000-esque commentary to films you’d otherwise (wisely) steer clear of. Oh, this week’s film — not that it matters that much — is Night of the Blood Beast (1958). Trailer above (duh).
