Godzilla Raids Again

Godzilla Raids Again is showing at the Electric Palace on Sunday 29 November, part of the B-Movie Fan Club. It's the 1955 sequel to the original Godzilla, directed by Motoyoshi Oda and Ishirō Honda, and it's the film that set the pattern for the rest of the series: monster-versus-monster. This time Godzilla goes up against Anguirus, a spiny kaiju, and the two of them tear through the streets of Osaka. Toho Studios followed the first film's success with this one, played as a straight-ahead monsters-on-the-loose drama.

The screening is part of the B-Movie Fan Club, a monthly series at the Electric Palace that's been running for more than 13 years. Hosted by Robin Knowles, the club looks at classic low-budget horror and sci-fi, and every ticket comes with free space candy. If you've never been, it's a regular night rather than a one-off, so this is just one of the titles they've worked their way through over the years.

It runs from 19:30 to 21:00, so it's a relatively early start for a Sunday evening. Tickets start from £7.50 and are sold through electricpalacecinema.com, and the cinema is at 39a High Street, Hastings TN34 3ER.
