Published at: July 1, 2005, 2:03 p.m. CST by staff
Hey folks, Harry here - having a bit of fun on JULY 9th at the Alamo Drafthouse... Really can't help it... You see - when Tim asked me, "Harry - Do you want to host a Dusk Til Dawn Horrorthon in July - in the sweet Air Conditioned Beer Serving Belly of the Original Alamo Drafthouse?" There was only one answer that made sense. YES, PLEASE!
You see folks, Tim and I and the other maniacal minions of the Alamo Drafthouse have put together an event of good old fashioned grindhouse horror - and... I might even be bringing a new horror treat... or two. Yes, Yes... it's a longtime till October, but in the heat of July - temperatures already reaching horrific heights... well, somebody needs to die! We need to see folks split open and pumping the ol karo and red dye #5 like the fountain each of us has the potential to be... Spurting, sputtering and spilling the crimson life essence on a silver screen. I hope you come to join us... Tickets go on sale at 5pm today at This Location!!!
Ain't it Cool News presents:
HORRORTHON!
TICKETS ($13) GO ON SALE FRIDAY JULY 1 AT 5PM!
In a tip of the cap to our sleazy drive-in heritage we are thrilled to present all the horror you can stand -- a marathon of blood and gore with monsters galore. We can't publicize the names of the films scheduled because even the titles themselves may be too frightening for some of you.
But we can tell you that Lion's Gate Films has been kind enough to give us an early screening of the already infamous Asian anthology THREE...EXTREMES, a shocking new powerhouse by Park Chan-Wook (Oldboy). And Takashi Miike (Gozu). And Fruit Chan (Made in Hong Kong). And Chan's contribution features striking cinematography by staple Wong Kar-Wai lenser Christopher Doyle. Has your cerebellum stopped twitching yet? It will run liquefied out your nostrils once you actually see this film!
You asked for it. Now here it is! If you love horror movies we've got the show for you. Not one, not two, but SIX horror shockers to thrill you, chill you, maybe even kill you. We've teamed up with Harry Knowles and www.aintitcoolnews.com to bring you a Dusk Til Dawn Horror Show to beat all others. And we'll do whatever we have to do to scare the hell out of you. This is the most eagerly anticipated show of the year for horror fans so buy your tickets in advance.
