The Mahoning Drive-In Theater celebrates the King of The Gimmick with 2 nights of William Castle films and their Dark Castle cover versions, with REMAKE DOUBLE-TAKE!
It’s a fearsome foursome of frights, with horrifically haunted homes, murderous manifestations, and dastardly double-crossers, all presented on gore-ious 35mm!
On Friday, May 3rd, it’s a short drive up the dark road tohe HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL!
We begin with William Castle’s original spooker from 1959, featuring Vincent Price as your host for a most malicious social event, with $10,000 going to any guest who can survive the night! Then the goosebumps are increased along with the stakes, as amusement park impresario Geoffrey Rush offers guests ONE MILLION DOLLARS to spend the night in a cursed house, including Taye Diggs, Chris Kattan, Jeffrey Combs, Ali Larter, and Famke Janssen!
Who will survive a night on the HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1999)? Will YOU?
Saturday, May 4th brings not 1…not 2…but 13 GHOSTS to the mighty Mahoning screen (well, 26, actually…), when William Castle’s 1960 original (presented in “Illusion-O”) fright fest fills the screen with 13 times the thrills…13 times the screams…13 times the FUN!
A family inherits a house from their late scientist uncle, and with it comes a baker’s dozen of restless spirits, only visible when special high-tech glasses are donned! If your nerves are still intact after that close encounter of the spooky kind, we ratchet up the FX and terror with 2001’s THIR13EN GHOSTS, in which Tony Shaloub and his family inherit a glass house that their uncle used to contain 12 ghosts, and now they find themselves trapped inside it! With Matthew Lillard, Shannon Elizabeth, and F. Murray Abraham (!!!) along for the terrifying tour!
We’ll be doubling the fun each night with DJ sets from gate to showtime, themed food specials and raffles, and perhaps a gimmick or two up our sleeves…
