While September is a couple months away, and I certainly
don’t wish to rush you out of your summer time blues, an important event is
upon us. September 29, 2012 at the Hi-Way Drive-In in Coxsackie, NY an audience
will be treated to an all night Zombiefest featuring some of the greatest films
of the undead generation. If you were blissfully unaware of this event get
ready for the post-apocalypse you truly deserve.
First off FaceBookies, go HERE , like the page and follow along for
yourself. There’s no reason to believe a damn word I say. It’s all there, black
and white, clear as crystal (do not steal the fizzy lifting drinks or the bath
salts). Also make sure to stop by www.hiwaydrivein.com.
$10 Admission. Rain or Shine.
And the reason we bring it up now during the Italian Horror
Week is because the entire line up this year is ITALIAN ZOMBIE GOODNESS!!! So
from dusk ‘till Dawn you might as well get your Vespa out and say Ciao to everyone
you meet while waiting for the glory that is drive-in zombie horror done
properly.
Films to be shown:
ZOMBIE
CITY OF THE WALKING DEAD
NIGHT OF THE ZOMBIES
BURIAL GROUND
THE GATES OF HELL
The poster for this event boasts “rare Italian horror previews
shown on 35mm preceding each feature” which was very similar to the Italian
Splatterfest at the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, PA. I can assure you that
was a real treat. The poster also
states:
“An all-Night gross-out Zombiethon of gory, gut-munching,
Italian living dead horror classics!” (holy hypenation!).
“Don’t miss this incredible splatterfic program on the giant
drive-in screen!”
Folks, as the poster says, the dead shall rise and sit in
their cars… or rather walk the earth. Make sure to check out the concession
stand! Go out to the lobby. Get yourself some brains. Make out with your best
girl or guy or blow up doll. Go out and see a movie!
Zombiefest rules #1, #2 and #3 respectively: No face eating
by anyone who is not undead. If you must detach your testicles, please stay
away from the concession stand. Do not throw your intestines at law
enforcement.

Words to live by.... or undead by. Whatever you're into.

I'm mad jealous. The Starlight Drive-in here in ATL hosts some cool events, but they've never had a lineup THAT bad ass.
ReplyDelete"Nightmare City" AND "Zombi 2"?!?!??!?!
ReplyDeleteSitting through "Burial Ground" and "Hell of the Living Dead" would be tough though... Granted watching Bruno Mattei at a drive-in must give you ultimate bragging rights forever.
