Night Of The Creeps
When/Where: 11:59 p.m. Friday and Saturday night, Coolidge Corner Theatre
Why: Be thrilled at the @fter Midnite Cult Cuts showing of "Night of the Creeps." When an alien-riddled frozen body from the '50s is thawed by a frat in the '80s, the campus becomes a feeding frenzy. "The good news is your dates are here. The bad news is... they're dead."

Puppylocks and the Three Bears
When/Where: Puppet Showplace Theatre, Friday and Saturday, 10:30 a.m., 1 p.m.
Why: A well-known story, but with a dog instead of a human. Enjoy a hilarious romp through the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, with an impish dog who doesn't even follow the instructions of the puppeteers. Presented with traditional Bohemian-style marionettes on a tabletop stage.
