TREMORS screens Thursday Aug. 13
BUY BASSBUS TICKETS
About the film: TREMORS (1990, Dir. Ron Underwood)
Natives of a small isolated town defend themselves against strange underground creatures which are killing them one by one. Starring Kevin Bacon this sci-fi horror comedy both spooks and entertains. Watch trailer.
About the location: The "Big Rock"
Located Off Highway #7, 10 kilometres southwest of Okotoks, “The Big Rock” is an enormous glacial erratic – a rock transported far from its place of origin by glacial ice. Not only is it the largest known rock in the Foothills Erratics Train, but it's where our lovely beer sponsors got their name.
WESTWORLD screens Thursday Aug. 20
BUY BASSBUS TICKETS.
About the film: WESTWORLD (1973, Dir. Michael Crichton)
A robot malfunction creates havoc and terror for unsuspecting vacationers at a futuristic, adult-themed amusement park. An action sci-fi thriller Western all in one. Watch trailer.
About the location: Wild Wild West Event Centre
Across from Calaway Park, you've likely heard of this place that hosts weddings, conventions and teambuilding with a boozy Western twist. Before the screening they'll be lots to do including tug of war and stationary seat roping.
