Sci-fi horror triple bill in Chicago on Saturday…

Updated on November 25, 2008 By Ken Begg 9 Comments

Us, Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster and Horror of Dracula this Saturday (the 29th) at the gorgeous restored Portage Theater, starting at 6:00. Admission is ten smackers for the whole shebang.

By the way, I’m considering sponsoring a triple bill myself next summer next year, maybe in May.  Giant Claw seems a good bet, but I’m mulling over titles.  Anyway who wants to come to the show and keep me from entirely losing my shirt is welcome.  I’d say a hundred people would probably about put us at the break even point.

  • It’s a shame I can’t easily get to Chicago, otherwise I’d come to your show.

  • Yikes! $30 for 3 movies??

  • fish eye no miko

    Damn.. I live too far away to do that.

    I wish some place here in Tucson would show cool/cheesy monster movies. The local art theater showed Gojira in ’04 (the 50th anniversary), but that’s about it. )-:

  • Ooops! Ten dollars for all three films! Yikes!

  • Ah, thanks for clearing that up, Ken.

  • Thanks for pointing it out!

    I moved to Chicago about a year ago and still haven’t managed to get over to the Portage.

    Am I likely to get mugged while waiting for the CTA after Horror of Dracula? I’m not familiar with the area.

  • It’s busy enough that the nearby city parking lot was filled after 10 the last time I went. The CTA stops seem to be on Milwaukee; it’s a fairly busy street. I’m not an expert on the city, but it seems pretty safe.

    This wouldn’t be JR Jenks, would it?

    Nope, not JR Jenks. Thanks for the info. I’d guess from what I know that Uptown is probably the roughest area I’ll have to go through.

    I’m going to try to make it over for Godzilla at the very least. I missed seeing that one when I was a kid.
