Just when you thought things couldn’t get scarier, the Natural History Museum of L.A. County has dredged up a banner summer lineup of laughably bad horror movies meshed with bad science lectures for outdoor free fun on its south lawn and at the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits.
The horrifically bad but horribly funny sci-fi flicks and horror film screenings start Saturday June 26 with the movie Encino Man (1992) and end Sunday, August 29 with Caveman (1981).
Each movie is introduced by museum experts who try to find common ground between real science and reel science. Plus, a spotlighted specimen from the Natural History Museum’s collection of B-movie memorabilia such as lobby cards, posters and movie props will be on display.
Science talks at 7:30PM, film showings at 8PM. Bring a picnic and requisite blanket; alcohol is permitted if you’re age 21+. No dogs allowed.
