Join Worm Factory and The Crab Museum in the crustacean invertebrate collaboration of the century, for a special screening of Bugs on Film!
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to stay at a hotel run by spiders, been curious about the scandalous lives of beetles behind close doors, or wanted to take a trip to a miniature zoo, this is your chance! We’ll be screening a selection of bug-themed shorts including The Cobweb Hotel (1936), Insect Zoo (1950), and The Cameraman’s Revenge (1912), preparing you for the Roger Corman feature finale, Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957).
Enter the mysterious tropical island where a group of scientists’ land to study the effects of radiation fallout, forced to fight for their lives as giant crustaceans cause the island to crumble from calculated attacks. What better place to see giant radioactive crabs on the big screen than at The Crab Museum itself?
