​As part of Chicago Climate Week, join Chicago Climate Connect and the historic Music Box Theatre (in their brand-new Theater 3) for a special screening of Day of the Animals (1977), a cult eco-horror classic that imagines a world where environmental disruption - in this case, ozone depletion and increased solar radiation - triggers unexpected and terrifying consequences. Equal parts cautionary tale, creature feature, and time capsule of 1970s environmental anxieties, the film explores what happens when nature starts biting back.

​Following the screening, stay for a short panel discussion exploring the intersections of climate, ecology, science, and horror storytelling. The conversation will feature Andrew Scarpelli, PhD, geneticist and biotech entrepreneur, and Jen Myers, writer, technologist, and co-host of the horror podcast Quiet Little Horrors, moderated by Mackenzie Siren, horror enthusiast and co-founder of Chicago Climate Connect.

​Whether you're a horror fan, climate advocate, film lover, or simply curious, come experience a unique evening of cinema, conversation, and community.
