THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT - We’d love to see you at the next one!

They control what you see. They decide what you hear. You think they’re people just like you. You’re wrong. Dead wrong.

Join us as we chew bubblegum and celebrate John Carpenter’s 1988 sci-fi classic 'They Live' on the big screen at Ballarat Trades Hall... (spoilers - we’re all outta bubblegum).

The bar will be open throughout the night and the first 30 tickets sold will receive a special gift on arrival!

Bonus! The night will begin with one of Roddy Piper's last on-screen performances in the short film Portal to Hell (2015), introduced by director Vivieno Caldinelli.

About the Film

Nada (Roddy Piper), a denim-clad drifter, discovers a pair of sunglasses that reveals the world the way it truly is. As he walks the streets of Los Angeles, Nada realises that both the media and the government are using subliminal messages to keep the population subdued, and that most of the social elite are skull-faced aliens bent on world domination. With this shocking discovery, Nada fights to free humanity from the mind-controlling aliens.
