Three Dollar Bill Cinema is so grateful to have curated and screened a queer horror short film program for the past 3 months at MoPOP’s Sound & Vision Theater, ending June 30th! To celebrate our run, and pass the baton to the next organization, Langston Seattle, we are holding a HALLOWEEN IN JULY: QUEER MONSTER BALL!

Join us at MoPOP on July 1st from 7-10 for a FREE night of drinks, snacks, fun, and dancing. Don’t forget to dress up in your queer monster finery – think Halloween but Pride!

Featuring performances by Judas Saint James. The Heir to Akasha’s Throne and Seattle’s current reigning Queer Monarch, Judas Saint James is your new favorite queer coded villain. Blending the worlds of rock n roll, kink, theater and nostalgia, they aim to show you the beauty of alternative Black culture and the pleasures of nonbinary sensuality. With a deadly gaze and sinister smile, they are sure to leave you salivating, questioning, and wanting more.

Ample street parking and pay lots surround MoPOP and Seattle Center. There is a pay lot next to MoPOP at 5th Avenue N and Harrison Street. Designated handicapped parking spaces are available at all Seattle Center lots.

But, not necessarily in that order.
