Mars Attacks! with The Disasternauts
October 10 @ 8:30 pm – 9:45 pm EDT
A Retro Invasion Under the Stars
The Martians are landing on Kleman Plaza — and they’re right on time for the 30th anniversary of Tim Burton’s gloriously unhinged sci‑fi spoof Mars Attacks! Join us outdoors under the stars for a free screening that celebrates everything delightfully weird about 90s cinema: bubble‑helmeted aliens, retro ray guns, and a cast so stacked it feels like Burton dared Hollywood to say no.
Bring blankets or chairs (no pets unless they can outrun a death ray) and settle in for a night of campy chaos. When Mars Attacks! premiered in 1996, its blend of B‑movie nostalgia and political satire felt cheeky; today, its send‑ups of media frenzy, government bluster, and general human ridiculousness feel… well, eerily familiar. Somehow, Burton’s green invaders have aged into accidental prophets.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just here for the Martian mayhem, this is the perfect way to experience Mars Attacks! — outdoors, with a crowd, on a warm Florida night, exactly as the aliens intended.
Tally’s own The Disasternauts will take the stage before the film at 7:00 p.m.!
Bring your blankets or chairs and settle in under the stars with us for this special edition of Tallahassee Downtown’s Movies in the Park!
