Universal Pictures and Cyberspace Vanguard are giving you the
opportunity to see a special preview screening of VILLAGE OF THE
DAMNED.
Chistopher Reeve (SUPERMAN, THE REMAINS OF THE DAY), Kirstie
Alley (LOOK WHO'S TALKING, NBC'S CHEERS), Linda Kozlowski
(CROCODILE DUNDEE) and Mark Hamill (the STAR WARS Trilogy) star
in VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, a chilling new version of the classic
horror story from master of suspense John Carpenter.
Based upon John Wyndham's 1957 novel THE MIDWICH CUCKOOS, which
was also the source of the 1960 British screen classic VILLAGE
OF THE DAMNED, the film depicts the terrifying consequences of
an alien threat to Earth.
The coastal village of Midwich, California isn't the kind of
town you'd notice unless you lived there. People drive through
without taking their feet off the accelerator, and the locals
prefer it that way. For them, Midwich is just a nice place to
settle down, escape from the city, raise a family. It's so
quiet, you can hear your own thoughts.
And so can the children.
After a strange, unseen force envelops the town for several
hours, local women of child-bearing age become inexplicably
pregnant. Ten children are born, nine of whom survive, only to
display telepathic powers which prove fatal to several townsfolk
-- and may spell doom for the human race.
Fifty winners will be chosen at random to receive passes for two
to the preview screening, which will be held April 26, 1995 at
7:30pm in Severance Cinemas in Cleveland Hts.. To enter, send
your name and snail mail address to cn577@cleveland.freenet.edu
or Cyberspace Vanguard at 1:157/564, or leave the information on
CV voice mail at 491-2136. Include your phone number if you
would like to be notified by phone if you've won. Entries must
be received by 11 pm on Friday, April 21.
The film is directed by John Carpenter, and was written by
Carpenter and David Himmelstein. Producers are Michael Praeger
and Sandy King.
