B-FEST

24 hours of B-Movie Madness!
January 31st and February 1st, 2025

Hey Kids, It's B-Fest!

A&O's annual b-movie festival!

B-Fest is a 24-hour marathon of b-movies held by A&O Productions each year at Northwestern University's Norris University Center McCormick Auditorium in Evanston, Illinois. Each year, the festival takes place from 6pm to 6pm the following day.

What's it like?

B-Fest has been likened to an audience-participation version of an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000; viewers are encouraged to voice their opinions of onscreen events, especially if such comments provide entertainment for the other festival attendees. Additional staples of B-Fest gatherings are the midnight screening of Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space, door prizes from our sponsors, the Northwestern B-Fest Players (who occasionally mount the stage to bring their own theatrical spin to the proceedings), and of course, the sing-along version of The Wizard of Speed and Time.
