Van Cortlandt Park Alliance - Movie Night! Them! - It's Thursday, July 28

 

Them! (1954) • Thursday, July 28

The earliest atomic tests in the New Mexico desert cause common ants to mutate into giant people-eating monsters that threaten civilization!!! This proto-monster movie is a GREAT example of nature fighting back in the nuclear age.    Pack a picnic and head over to the Parade Ground.  Movie starts at the last light of day – that’s ~ 9 PM on July 28. Arrive at 7:30 PM for movie-themed fun:    Groove to 50s tunes with Herbert Holler.  Make your very own ant puppet. Meet pre-mutated ants (!!!). BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket) It’s hot out there – set up an umbrella and buy a soft drink at the VCPA merch table.  Pack some bug spray to fight off ants, mosquitoes, and other crawlies.    The best part? It’s all FREE!  Thanks to Council Member Eric Dinowitz, NYC Parks, Van Cortlandt Park Alliance, and optimum.    Our friends at Lloyd’s Carrot Cake will be open late.
