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.
