Having premiered at some festivals, the new documentary about one of Oregon Hill’s most colorful progeny comes home- ‘Spider Mites Of Jesus’ plays at Movieland, starting January 24th.

*The 14th Annual Halloween Parade is also “A Funeral March for Life as We Wished It”!

We will mourn the burning amazon rainforest, parade against the break down of our planet, and celebrate all indigenous peoples, people of color, and trans and queer peoples. We will celebrate the death of Immigration & Customs Enforcement because the ICE is melting! We will reign in the aftermath of the ICE storm, in a lush sea of the Amazon, Pollinators, Skeletons, Extinction Rebellion, and much more! This year’s theme is based on the climate crisis and humanity crisis, specifically referencing the fact that scientists say humanity has a 50% chance of making it 81 more years.
