This Friday and Saturday, at Facets in Chicago, they will be having a double and triple feature playing that is simply must-see. On Friday, they will be screening Godzilla vs the Smog Monster (1971) and Frogs (1972), both films trying to warn us about the dangers of the ecological damage we’re doing. Plus, they are just damn fun movies! We will actually have a small table in the lobby on Friday, and will have copies of my book, Discover the Horror, for sale as well as a few other book titles. I’ll also have T-shirts for our podcast, also called Discover the Horror, for sale as well. So, if you’re coming out on Friday, make sure you stop by and say hello! Click HERE for tickets.
