What happens when two estranged brothers battle a cursed hay monster on their family farm armed only with a childhood toy robot and some Yankee ingenuity?

The Hay Man - a sci-fi/comedy love letter to Universal Monsters, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and Ghostbusters - was made for just $600 using puppets, miniatures, and practical effects. Film Threat called it a "breathtaking effort" and gave it a 9/10 review.

This special 3D screening features select scenes converted to 3D with free glasses included. Auburn filmmaker Zach Benton (youth coordinator at WMCT-TV Marlborough) brings his handmade creature feature to the big screen for a family-friendly Saturday morning adventure.


Perfect for: Families looking for unique weekend activities, fans of practical effects and DIY filmmaking, anyone who misses the charm of monsters made with foam, wire, and imagination.
