The Beverly Theater presents a double feature pairing two cult classics from the late '80s and early '90s: "Howard the Duck" and "Drop Dead Fred." This back-to-back screening brings together George Lucas's notorious 1986 comic book adaptation about a wisecracking extraterrestrial waterfowl stuck on Earth with the 1991 anarchic comedy starring Ric Mayall as an imaginary friend who returns to wreak havoc in his grown-up companion's life.

Both films have earned devoted followings over the years despite their initial critical reception, making them perfect candidates for a midnight movie-style double bill. The intimate 150-seat theater provides an ideal setting for this kind of cult cinema experience, where the quirky humor and off-beat storytelling can be appreciated with fellow fans who recognize the weird charm in these unconventional comedies. The venue's excellent acoustics will do justice to both John Barry's score for "Howard" and the chaotic sound design of "Drop Dead Fred."
