Mega-Bad Movie Night - Sharktopus

Thursday May 31 6:30 PM-10:00 PM

Sharktopus: 50% Shark, 50% Octopus, 100% Deadly!

Join us at the Academy after hours to watch some “awesomely awful” movies. The Academy's own experts will be onstage to comment on the many scientific absurdities—think Mystery Science Theater 3000!

You must be 18+ years of age to attend these events (and 21+ to drink).

Sharktopus is sold out!!
Doors open at 6:30 pm.
We’re getting started at a new, earlier time so you have a chance to look around. Grab some snacks and a beer, and then check out the many cool things on display at the Academy. We’ll have some amazing shark and octopi specimens from our Ichthyology and Malacology collections.
Showtime is at 8:00 pm
The Berserker Residents return! See a piece of their show “The Giant Squid.” followed by Paul Callomon’s opening monologue. Then it’s movie time!

Cost: $10 Academy members / $15 nonmembers 

You must be 18+ years of age to attend these events (and 21+ to drink).

Mark your calendars for these upcoming Mega-Bad Movie Nights!
