OTHER INFO:
The Pit of Horror and Dallas Movie Guide present…
UNIQUE PRESENTATION OF HORROR FILMS SPLATTER DENTON’S MOVIE TAVERN EACH MONTH FOR MIDNIGHT SCREENINGS
WHO: Friday Night Frights, presented by the popular horror website PitofHorror.com and the recently launched DallasMovieGuide.com
WHAT: Midnight horror flicks from many sub-genres that range from blockbusters to the obscure. From Freddy and Jason to Italian gorefests and cult classics - there will be something for everyone from the casual, curious moviegoer to the horror fanatic.
WHEN: See our MySpace page for dates. Friday night screenings are at Midnight, doors at 11pm.
WHERE: The Movie Tavern in Denton, TX. 916 West University Drive on the NW corner or University and Carroll.
PRICE/RATING: Tickets are $10 at the box office and in advance at www.myspace.com/fridaynightfrights, Rated R. Our last show was a sell out so it is highly recommend patrons buy their tickets in advance.
WHY: Because there’s nothing else like this in the D/FW area for loyal fans of the genre. Every showing will be a special presentation of films either in 3-D, from a print not available on DVD or a special guest appearance (usually a director or actor from the film). Also, the Movie Tavern is a great place to eat, drink and enjoy a classic show with an appreciative audience.
