This month, Thursday Movies@Main selections will be themed Sci-Fi Terror in the British Countryside.

January 4, 6:30 pm: These are the Damned (1962) 

A plot about a motorcycle gang morphs into a crazy scenario involving secret government experimentation. Joseph Losey at his wildest! I dare you to not get “Black Leather Rock” stuck in your head. With Macdonald Carey, Shirley Anne Field, Viveca Lindfors, Alexander Knox, and Oliver Reed, 87 min.

January 11, 6:30 pm: Curse of the Demon (aka Night of the Demon, 1957) 

American professor Dana Andrews travels to London to attend a paranormal psychology symposium, where he starts to investigate devil-worshiper Niall MacGinnis, who he finds much more dangerous than he had perceived. Another masterful mood piece from Jacques Tourneur. Also with Peggy Cummins, 95 min.

January 18, 6:30 pm: Village of the Damned (1960) 

A small English village suddenly produces frightening children who look alike and seem possessed of supernatural powers. A haunting sci-fi classic. With George Sanders, Barbara Shelley and Martin Stephens, 77 min.

January 25, 6:30 pm: The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) 

A rocket sent into space by Professor Quatermass (Brian Donlevy) returns to earth with two of the astronauts missing, and the last very ill. Working with Scotland Yard, they determine that there may be an alien invasion afoot. Directed by Val Guest and also starring Jack Warner, Gordon Jackson, and Lionel Jeffries, 78 min.

Get your parking validation ticket at the Security Desk and then relax in Main Library's 400-seat auditorium.
