Join for our screening of Better Off Dead at The Guild Cinema. Early bird ticket purchasers have the chance to win door prizes from local businesses and organizations (like Bubonicon – hint, hint) around town.

STORYLINE:  Lane Meyer (John Cusack) is a teen with a peculiar family and a bizarre fixation with his girlfriend, Beth (Amanda Wyss).  When Beth dumps Lane, he decides to kill himself, making bumbling attempts at suicide.  Outside of his morbid endeavors, Lane spends time with his oddball buddy, Charles (Curtis Armstrong), and befriends Monique (Diane Franklin), a visiting French student.  Eventually, Lane resolves to race Beth’s obnoxious new beau on the ski slopes, with unexpected results.
