Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) + Eraserhead
Details
Get ready for a gloriously weird double feature at the Paramount Theatre: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) followed by Eraserhead. It’s the kind of back-to-back movie night that starts with paranoia, blooms into full-on surreal dread, and somehow leaves you thrilled to have been along for the ride.
The evening kicks off with doors at 6:00pm, then Invasion of the Body Snatchers begins at 7:00pm. This 1978 remake turns alien invasion into a sleek, nerve-rattling nightmare, with Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, and Jeff Goldblum steering the panic. Directed by Philip Kaufman, it’s a sharp and stylish spin on identity, trust, and what happens when the people around you just aren’t quite themselves.
Then things get even stranger with Eraserhead at 9:10pm. David Lynch’s legendary debut follows Jack Nance as Henry, a man drifting through a bleak industrial dreamscape that feels equal parts unsettling, hypnotic, and darkly funny. With its eerie sound design, dream logic, and unforgettable black-and-white imagery, this is one of those films that lingers long after the lights come up.
Why this pairing works so well:
- Two cult classics in one night, each with its own flavor of unease
- A thrilling mix of sci-fi paranoia and art-house nightmare fuel
- Perfect for movie fans who love bold, offbeat, and conversation-starting cinema
- A chance to experience both films on the big screen the way they were meant to be seen
If you’re into eerie atmospheres, iconic performances, and a double feature that gets progressively weirder in the best possible way, this is the movie night for you.
