Gather your crew of monsters and bring your A-game to this late-night kaiju extravaganza.
Experience the awesome power of Godzilla with a special selection of three films showcasing the monster's iconic position in cinema history. In between screenings, show off just how much you know about the Godzillaverse, with special rounds of trivia hosted by comedian Alex Hines.
Movie Marathon
Godzilla (1954)
Dir. Ishiro Honda, Japan, Source: Sugoi Co, 96 minutes.
The film that introduced Godzilla to the world. A striking film exploring the consequences of nuclear war.
Mothra vs Godzilla (1964)
Dir. Ishiro Honda, Japan, Janus Films, Courtesy: Toho, 88 minutes
In a classic good vs evil, Mothra fights to protect humanity from Godzilla’s destruction. This film pairs Godzilla with another popular Kaiju for the very first time.
Viewers are advised that this film contains outdated depictions of a fictional islander population.
Godzilla vs Hedorah (1971)
Dir. Yoshimitsu Banno, Japan, Janus Films, Courtesy: Toho, 85 minutes
An alien life form that feeds on pollution threatens to destroy all life on earth unless Godzilla can stop it.
One of the weirdest entries in the Godzilla franchise, this film combines an environmental message with horror, psychedelia and animation.
