Panic In Year Zero

En route from Los Angeles to a vacation in the mountains, Harry Baldwin (Ray Milland), his wife, Ann (Jean Hagen), and his teen-aged children, Rick (Frankie Avalon) and Karen (Mary Mitchell), are appalled to see a mushroom cloud forming over the L.A. skyline. With the highways clogged by panicking motorists, Milland and his family decide to head to the shelter of their fishing spot, there to wait until more news about the nuclear disaster is available. Everywhere they drive, however, the family is confronted by rampaging looters, heavily armed survivalists, and doped-up motorcycle punks. Attempting to remain calm and collected in the face of Armageddon, Milland ends up as violent and animalistic as everyone else. This lower budget 1962 post-apocalyptic film was somewhat unique for its time, as the normalcy of Milland's family is used to convey to the audience that what is happening to them could well happen to just about anyone.

And at 10 PM: Rocky Horror ($6.00)
