Today, Shudder announced they've partnered with Cinema Drive-In, a division of Kilburn Live, a market leader in the Live Entertainment industry, to create "The Shudder Drive-In," a one-of-a-kind Halloween special event.
Starting October 29th and running for three consecutive nights in New Jersey, Texas and California, the pair will produce an all-new immersive experience that combines three Halloween feature films with live action elements and performers to create a horror-film-meets-haunted-house-style attraction!
Aided by Epic Entertainment, the creative team behind The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor, "The Shudder Drive-In" is designed as a way for guests to face their fears—while never leaving their cars.
"While this has definitely been a year like no other, one thing that will never go away is audience’s love of scary movies," said Kilburn CEO Mark Manuel. "We wanted to give horror fans a unique, innovative and most importantly safe experience where they can mentally escape for a bit and get a different type of scare. These won’t just be scary movies, this will be an all-encompassing experience where surprising things are happening around you while you are watching a scary movie, trapped in a confined space – essentially erasing the line between film and reality. "
The multi-sensory live action event kicks off with Blood Quantum on Thursday the 29th, with Host following on Friday the 30th and The Mortuary Collection running on the 31st.
Each experience will run twice nightly at 7pm and 10pm with tickets costing $50 per car or $75 for a VIP experience.
BLOOD QUANTUM
The dead are coming back to life, but in the isolated Mi'gmaq reserve of Red Crow, the indigenous inhabitants are immune to the zombie plague. Traylor (Michael Greyeyes, True Detective), the tribal sheriff, must protect his son's pregnant girlfriend, apocalyptic refugees and people of the reservation from hordes of walking white corpses.
HOST
Six friends get together during lockdown for their weekly zoom call and instead of a quiz, Hayley (Hayley Bishop, Dawn of the Deaf) has arranged for a Medium to conduct a virtual séance. But a demonic presence has crossed over, threatening to pick them off one by one.
Of special note: the screening of Host will be an extended Director’s Cut paired with a half-hour "Making-Of" documentary, both of which will be U.S. premieres.
THE MORTUARY COLLECTION
A young drifter applies for a job at the local mortuary and meets an eccentric mortician (Clancy Brown, The Shawshank Redemption) who chronicles the strange history of the town through a series of twisted tales, each more terrifying than the last.
Guests can buy tickets now for any of the three locations that include Woodland Hills, California, The Star At Frisco in Texas or Bell Works in Holmdel, New Jersey. Tickets for each engagement are limited and it is recommended guests pre-book online prior to visiting. For more information and to make a reservation you can go to https://cinemadriveins.com/.
