About Spooky Cinema: Alien
Venture into the Thinktank Planetarium… and leave Earth behind.
This Halloween, our 360° dome becomes the cold, silent void of space — where shadows linger and unknown horrors drift just beyond the stars. Take your seat in the darkness and surrender to a specially selected sci-fi nightmare that will make you question what lurks in the cosmos.
This week’s feature: Alien
A tense sci-fi thriller where a deadly extraterrestrial stalks a spaceship crew in deep space.
