Sept 11-12, 2026 Avalon Atmospheric Theater 2473 S Kinnickinnic Ave, Milwaukee, WI 5320 Friday September 11th: The Giant Spider Invasion, the cult film classic that put Wisconsin on the map, is officially getting a reimagined reboot. In a historic Hollywood first, the original director, Bill Rebane, returned to film new sequences for the 50th anniversary. This production is a loving homage to Wisconsin's culture, landscape, and people, featuring local actor Dan Davies interacting with original cast members, Alan Hale Jr., Barbara Hale, Leslie Parrish, and Steve Brodie. Bill Rebane created the first film studio in the Midwest, The Shooting Ranch located near Gleason, Wisconsin which produced many cult films such as Blood Harvest, Rana: The Legend of Shadow Lake, and The Capture of Bigfoot. The Giant Spider Invasion has been selling out at genre festivals, and garnered worldwide cult status thanks to its appearance on Mystery Science Theater 3000. This new version is scarier, campier, and creepier than ever. And now it hits Milwaukee! The Milwaukee Independent Film Society will be hosting a one-time-only screening during the MKE INT Short Film Fest, at 6:30PM on September 11th at the historic, Avalon Atmospheric Theater. After the screening and Q/A, hosted by Jon Adler of 88 Nine Radio Milwaukee, we'll be honoring Bill Rebane with the Pace-setter Award for his contributions to Wisconsin filmmaking. #Milwaukee #localfilmmaking #wisconsin - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/milwaukee/mifs-presents-the-50th-anniversary-screening-of-the-giant-spider-invasion-with-bill-rebane/200030549391238 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, festivals, art, theatre, sports, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 11 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Milwaukee - **state**: WI - **country**: United States - **location**: Avalon Atmospheric Theater - **lat**: 42.999710540988 - **long**: -87.901766896248 - **full address**: Avalon Atmospheric Theater, 2472 S Kinnickinnic Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207-1652, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: MIFS presents: The 50th Anniversary screening of The Giant Spider Invasion with Bill Rebane - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/716d5e604dccbf3aaa391fbca975e7e44fe6f7bf995d3e57b697bea6784d1a4c-rimg-w884-h884-dc58a8c8-gmir?v=1788531283 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is MIFS presents: The 50th Anniversary screening of The Giant Spider Invasion with Bill Rebane being held? - **A:** MIFS presents: The 50th Anniversary screening of The Giant Spider Invasion with Bill Rebane takes place on Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm at Avalon Atmospheric Theater, 2472 S Kinnickinnic Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53207-1652, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing MIFS presents: The 50th Anniversary screening of The Giant Spider Invasion with Bill Rebane? - **A:** MIFS presents: The 50th Anniversary screening of The Giant Spider Invasion with Bill Rebane is organized by MKE Short Film Fest. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
