Hey there all you gore fans, Harry here with this exciting news about what is happening this weekend here in Austin at the ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE! Tom Savini... God of Zombie Make-up.... Sex-Machine... The Guru of Gore.... is coming to the Drafthouse for a night of gore and mayhem.
Currently, there are still tickets available, so all you Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, New Orleans, Arizona, Oklahoma, etc geeks that have always wanted to do something badass at the Alamo... here's your chance.
Beginning at 9:30pm, Tom Savini is going to be at the Alamo presenting William Lustig's MANIAC (ps Lustig will be there as well!), CREEPSHOW and one more special treat film that no horror film geek will want to miss! I will tell you this, you are going to see some behind the scenes things that you will never have seen before. Robert Rodriguez is going to be bringing Savini's Audition tape from FROM DUSK TILL DAWN that won Savini the part of Sex Machine. Savini will be bringing behind the scenes things that we'll never have seen before.
PLUS!!! Savini is going to blow up 3 people on stage at the Alamo Drafthouse! You could be one of the three people that Savini destroys in a fountain of gore! How cool would that be?
Did you ever want to know how to split a head in two and not go to jail? How about blowing your best friend's head apart with a shotgun, then watch the footage you created 2 hours after you 'killed' him, with him? Curious as to how to create that perfect zombie look for this Halloween? How to do effects cheap and fast? Got a medium budget gore film that you want Tom to work on? Well folks... get your ass to the Drafthouse and join the fray. Tickets are $20 a piece.
Meanwhile... Next week at the Drafthouse, we'll be having the PHANTASM spectacular! Phantasm I, II & III
Reggie Bannister, Angus Scrimm
& Don Coscarelli live in person! Once again, go to The Alamo Drafthouse and read on about all the details. I'm going to be at all of this. Between Austin being the test market for THE EXORCIST: the version you've never seen before, Savini-fest and PHANTASM-extravaganza... I just get the feeling like I live in the mostest coolest place on earth!
