The good folks at Exhumed Films and The Mahoning Drive-In Theater have teamed up to bring you GODZILLA-PALOOZA RAIDS AGAIN, a four-day showdown of giant monster mayhem.

Over the course of one weekend, you can catch eight of Godzilla's most infamous starring roles, all in glorious 35mm.

Here's the schedule for the four-day Kaiju-fest:

Thursday, June 29th:
GODZILLA VS MEGALON (1973) 
Godzilla and flying cyborg Jet Jaguar meet a giant cockroach and a big black chicken sent by Seatopians.

Friday, June 30:
TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA (1975)
The real Godzilla fights a cyborg Godzilla and another monster sent by aliens.
MOTHRA (1961)
A flying monster terrorizes Japan after a nightclub owner kidnaps two tiny princesses from their island paradise.
GODZILLA 2000 (1999)
It has razor sharp teeth in a gargantuan mouth; claws that can cut through steel; a roar that echoes back through the centuries; dorsal fins that resemble crimson lightning bolts; and fiery breath that incinerates everything it comes into contact with. Soon, all in the creature's wake is utterly destroyed, and a terrified Japan can only wonder where this monstrous beast will next appear. Godzilla, king of the monsters, is back.

Saturday, July 1:
KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (1963)
Tako, head of Pacific Pharmaceuticals, is frustrated with the television shows his company is sponsoring and wants something to boost his ratings. When a doctor tells Tako about a giant monster he discovered on the small Faro Island, Tako believes that it would be a brilliant idea to use the monster to gain publicity.
RODAN (1956)
A bug-eating pterodactyl flies out of a coal mine and wrecks Japan with sonic booms.
GODZILLA, MOTHRA AND KING GHIDORAH : GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK (2001)
When an American submarine is mysteriously destroyed, all evidence points to the return of Godzilla, and an investigative journalist sets out to cover the story.

Sunday, July 2:
DESTROY ALL MONSTERS (1968)
Scientists (Jun Tazaki, Yoshio Tsuchiya) face Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra and more obscure Japanese monsters sent by she-aliens.

All films will be preceded by vintage movie trailers and there will be raffles, games, prizes, event merch and more each night, so bring your pocket money.
