Dusk-till-Dawn Drive-In Show line-up announced!

Back in the 60’s and early 70’s, Drive-In Dusk till Dawn shows were a staple of Drive-Ins. The first feature would start at Sunset, and a movie marathon would run all night, with the last feature ending at sunrise.

We are happy to bring back this proud American Drive-In tradition with this amazing line-up of FIVE Horror films;

“EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN” The Sam Raimi 1987 horror classic will be screened in honor of the “EVIL DEAD 2 BOOK OF THE DEAD” DVD release. The creator of the

“Book of the Dead” Tom Sullivan will be on hand to introduce the screening.

“DEAD & BREAKFAST” Six friends on their way to a wedding in Galveston, TX stop for the night at a quaint bed and breakfast in the sleepy town of Lovelock. The residents of the town

become possessed by an evil spirit and pin the friends down at the b&b. Armed with a rusty chainsaw, a can of gasoline and a half box of shotgun shells, they must barricade the house and fight for their lives.

Ain’t It Cool News calls “DEAD & BREAKFAST” the U.S. answer to “SHAUN OF THE DEAD”, and Rue Morgue magazine call it

The best Independant Horror Film of the year!

“LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT” David Hess, the star of this 1972 Wes Craven classic will be on hand to introduce the film. David also composed and performed the film’s soundtrack. David, along with his son Jesse, will perform several of the themes from the film live in concert.

“THE BEYOND” Grindhouse Releasing presents their 35mm restored version of the 1981 Lucio Fulci Horror Classic. “THE BEYOND” is the tale of a woman who inherits a New Orleans Victorian Hotel built on one of the “Seven dreaded Gateways to Hell”! Naturally, it comes with zombies, popping eyeballs, spiders, and surreal acid flows. Sage Stallone, the co-founder of Grindhouse Releasing, will be on hand to introduce the screening.

“PIECES” “You Don't Have To Go To Texas For A Chainsaw Massacre” the one-sheet tells us, and boy are they right! This Ultra-Violent unrated 1982 slasher film from Spain tells the

story of young co-eds who are being cut up by a chainsaw killer on a college campus. The killer is attempting to put together a human jigsaw puzzle made from body parts.

The film stars Christopher George and Linda Day George.
