From Hell It Came

THE BAD FILM SOCIETY GOES GREEN --
WELL, SORT OF!

The Bad Film Society will appease all those Ashland Tree-Huggers, except in this case you don’t hug the tree; the tree hugs you -- TO DEATH!

The eco-unfriendly 1957 feature will be From Hell It Came. It inspired one of the most infamous movie reviews of all time: "And to hell it can go!" In a classic example of the anything-goes monsters of the '50s, a murdered South Sea island prince returns as Tabanga, an awkwardly slow walking killer tree! Run for your lives -- or at least, stroll! The scowling creature was designed by Paul Blaisdell, the legendary low budget monster-maker for such films as She-Creature, Invasion of the Saucermen, and It! The Terror Beyond Space. See! Wild tropical dancing!

See! Girl Fights! See! A cockamamie explanation involving an atomicbomb?!

The evening will begin with some daffy and unusual shorts sure to please and bewilder one and all.

Also stay tuned for the 9th episode of the serial The Lost Planet from 1953! On the par with an Ed Wood movie, it’s considered the worst serial ever made with unintentionally hilarious dialogue like "How are we going to find it, it's the Lost Planet." It was the last sci-fi serial ever made…for good reason.
