Activities & Organizations, which is a Northwestern University student group, the Psychotronic Film Society, Stomp Tokyo and a number of other organizations are co-sponsoring B-Fest 2002, a 24-hour marathon of monster and science fiction movies. Highlights include “Kingdom of the Spiders,” in which William Shatner gets attacked by arachnids, “Flash Gordon” and “Flesh Gordon,” Ed Wood’s demented lowbrow classic “Plan 9 From Outer Space” and “The Wizard of Speed and Time”–a short that has a cult of fans who love singing to the film’s song-and-dance number.
B-Fest 2003, 6 p.m. Fri.-6 p.m. Sat., Norris University Center, 1999 S. Campus Drive, Northwestern University, Evanston. $20 for the entire B-Fest, $10 for screenings between 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Sat.; 847-491-2300.
