The Lemurian Candidate
October 30 @ 7:00 pm - 10:30 pm
On Thu, Oct 30, the Mystic Theater hosts:
THE LEMURIAN CANDIDATE, a psychedelic sci-fi buddy-comedy set on Mt. Shasta—plus a full Halloween dress-up experience. Come in your best alien/sci-fi look for our costume contest & giveaways, strike a pose at the alien abduction photo booth, and hang for a space-rock after-party. We’ll have green popcorn, Lemurian Lager from Mt. Shasta Brewing Co., and other cosmic treats, along with a merch pop-up. Bring friends; costumes encouraged!
FILM DESCRIPTION: Two friends take their troubled buddy on a Mt. Shasta backpacking trip to reconnect. But when he upends their plans with a stash of hallucinogens and a wild theory, their weekend spirals into a surreal quest for meaning… and contact with alien beings.
