The Midway Drive-in has announced 3 out of the 4 titles for this year’s Dusk-to-Dawn Horrorfest, and it’s going to be another great night! Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the movie that started it all for Freddy Krueger, with A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). With this film, Wes Craven changed the game when it comes to the horror genre, for the 2nd time in his career, and wouldn’t be the last time either! Forget all the silly one-liners and comedic elements, the first is where we see Krueger the scariest! Come check it out and see why it is still as effective after all these years.

The next film is Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm, making its 45th anniversary! Yet another film that never loses its . . . balls! Amazing performances, such an original and strange story, but still effective. Come see the Tall Man on the big screen, and see the baddest, guitar-playing, dwarf stopping, Ice Cream Man around!

The third film announced is Joe Dante’s Piranha (1978), with an all-star cast including Barbara Steele, Dick Miller, Kevin McCarthy, Keenan Wynn, Bradford Dillman, Belinda Balaski, and Paul Bartel, with special effects by Rob Bottin. While it might have been a cash-in to Jaws, it is a film that still gets to me! Can’t wait to see this on the big 90-ft screen!

There will also be some horror vendors there, such as us, Kitley’s Krypt and Horror Slave, as well as Lixonline, and more! The doors open at 5pm, with the first movie starting at dusk, which is around 8pm. But come out early, enjoy the outdoors, get some great food from the concessions, and have a great time being surrounded by a ton of fellow horror fans!
