What is the most terrifying movie monster? Dracula? Zombies? Perhaps a deadly bacteria? What about a combination of all three? If that sounds like a perfect Friday night to you, tune in on June 25 for “The Last Man on Earth,” the 1964 film adaptation of the horror novel, “I Am Legend.”
Join us for our June “Museum Movie Night: Where Science Meets the Cinema,” where we will be featuring “The Last Man on Earth.” We will have Lisa Gatens, Museum mammalogist and bat expert, to answer your questions. Lisa will help us better understand the science behind animal-borne diseases and the likelihood of a real apocalyptic, vampiric plague (hopefully, unlikely). Stick around after the show for movie trivia with the AV Geek. Don’t miss it!
Do you love movies? Want to know the science behind your favorite stories? Join our monthly watch party, “Museum Movie Night: Where Science Meets the Cinema”! We encourage you to sit in your favorite chair, enjoy your favorite snacks, and stream alone or with your friends and family!
We’ll host experts from different science backgrounds to separate science fact from fiction after each film. You can ask them questions, share your knowledge, and enhance your movie night experience!
- Step 1: Register on this page. We will email you a Zoom link with everything you need to know.
- Step 2: At 6pm on June 25, log in to Zoom using the link you received upon registration. We’ll present a short from the AV Geeks’ archive and prepare you for the movie.
- Step 3: Let’s start the movie! We will be streaming the movie within Zoom. Join the live chat while you stream. (No spoilers please!)
- Step 4: After the film, we’ll chat with our science expert in a Q&A session where we’ll learn about the science behind the film. Plus, there will be movie trivia!
