FREE CREATURE FEATURES BEGIN

This week kicks off the start of Creature Features in Toronto,an open-air movie series with free admission.

Tuesday evenings, from June 27 to August 29 the fine folks running Yonge-Dundas Square bring you a new season of big, scary, sometimes ugly, always entertaining monster movies.

This Tuesday at 9 p.m. you can catch a rare 3-D screening of 1954's The Creature from the Black Lagoon (free glasses for the first 300 patrons). the series will run through a list of scary classics including The Blob, The Birds, Alien and Jaws. The series wraps with the (funny looking) recent Godzilla - Aug. 22 and Peter Jackson's version of King Kong — on Aug. 29. All shows are free.

And if all this wets your appetite for cool monster movies - the original Godzilla, aka Gojira, is being released this September - never before seen on DVD. Check out the website at www.godzillaondvd.com for more on this is classic version - the way it was before Hollywood stuck in those wacky Raymond Burr scenes. And be sure to check out the selection of classic flicks at Suspect this summer!
