Just in time for Halloween, the Historic Film Club at the Northwest Montana History Museum returns on Tuesday, October 27, with the 1956 horror classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers!

Residents of a California town are being replaced with emotionless duplicates, and it is up to Dr. Miles Bennell (Kevin McCarthy) to stop the invasion.

Released at the height of the Cold War, a variety of inter-related and contemporary commentaries can be seen in Invasion of the Body Snatchers , including ideas on McCarthyism, conformity, communism, totalitarianism, modernity, and post-War hysteria.

TO ADDRESS COVID 19 - We are taking several precautions to make sure that a Museum visit during these uncertain times will not adversely effect the health of our visitors:
All public fixtures in the Museum (hand rails, door knobs, bathroom components, interactive exhibits) will be regularly and repeatedly sanitized on a daily basis
As per the Governor's mandate, facemasks will be required when social-distancing is not possible.
To further promote social-distancing, seats in the Swanburg Classroom will be spaced apart at six foot intervals, and there will unfortunately be no free popcorn provided for the film club until further notice.

Of course, everyone is always welcome at the Northwest Montana History Museum. However, if you have a cough, a fever, or are just feeling under the weather, we kindly ask that you visit us some other time; not only for your own health, but for the well-being of our staff and other supporters.

There is no charge for the film, and donations will be accepted to help defray the cost of showing the films. The movie is free; wine, beer, pop and water will be for sale. Seating is provided, but film fans can bring their own floor pillows, portable chairs, or whatever is comfortable for viewing the film.
