Hey there, fellow movie fans! I've got some fabulous news for all the “Last Drive-In” enthusiasts and horror buffs. Our favorite late-night show just got bigger this season. This year, Shudder renewed “The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs” for a super-packed sixth season. If you're a dedicated viewer, you would know every season of this series featured Briggs hosting double features on Fridays for ten consecutive weeks. Kinda cool, right?
But here is the exciting part. This time the show has hit a different track. Our very own Joe Bob Briggs, not giving up his Friday tradition, is hosting one movie every alternate Friday. And trust me, these have been some of the most exciting, terrifying, and thought-provoking horror films of all time.
Now, before you all get too impatient, let me reveal the meat of the matter. The real thrill is yet to come. The Shudder team has hinted that season six is going to end with a bang! No, it's not just a regular finale or a double feature, but a whopping six-film marathon. Yes, folks, you heard that right, six movies back-to-back, in an event amusingly named “The Last Drive-In: Nightmareathon.” Sounds exciting, doesn't it?
Before you gear up for the binge-watch of your life, mark your calendars. This marathon is happening on Friday, August 30th, at 9pm ET. And don't sweat if you can't make it to the live screening. The whole event will be available on demand on Shudder TV and AMC+ TV feeds from September 1st.
Brought to you by the producers Matt Manjourides and Justin Martell, the series revamps the old drive-in movie charm. Our friendly host, Briggs, along with his consistent co-host, Diana Prince aka Darcy the Mail Girl, delve into eclectic horror movies. They critically analyze each film, discussing its merits, histories, and relevance in the genre of horror cinema.
This season saw some thrilling pieces, from “Rottentail” to “The Toxic Avenger” and “The Autopsy of Jane Doe” to “Carnival of Souls”, each debuting every other Friday since March 29. But hold on, we're not done yet. Get ready for the shows on August 2nd and 16th, all leading up to the grand marathon event on the 30th. Considering Briggs began his “The Last Drive-In” journey with a 13 movie marathon in 2018, it feels perfect to wrap up this season's finale with a similar event.
So, mark your calendars, set alerts, and prepare your popcorn. The end of this season is going to be a rollercoaster ride of fun, excitement, and the chills! If you are as excited as I am for this marathon ending, drop your comments below and let's hype it up together!
