Wes Craven’s SWAMP THING
(PG, 1982, 91 min)
Get ready for a wild, swampy ride with Swamp Thing in this rare screening! Directed by Wes Craven, this cult classic follows scientist Alec Holland (Ray Wise), whose experiment to create a powerful bio-restorative formula goes horribly wrong. After a fiery accident, he’s transformed into the vengeful Swamp Thing, a creature caught between human and plant. Now, he must protect Alice Cable (Adrienne Barbeau), a tough government agent, from the sinister Dr. Arcane and his ruthless, mutant minions—while battling his own monstrous transformation. With its blend of horror, sci-fi, and campy action, Swamp Thing became iconic for its mix of genre elements and Craven’s signature weirdness. Plus, it helped lay the groundwork for the darker, more unconventional anti-heroes that would later take over both Marvel and DC films.
