MusicBoxofHorrorslogoOkay folks…are you in the Chicagoland area? Or if not, are you still wanting to attend this year’s Music Box of Horrors, held at the Music Box Theatre in Chicago from noon on October 24th to noon on the 25th? For updates on this event, head over to their official page HERE.

Well, if you are one of these people, then here is how you can win a free ticket to this event. Below is one simple trivia question. All you need to do is email the answer to me, at jon@kitleyskrypt.com. Then this Tuesday, I will draw 4 names from all the correct entries and announce them here. Ready?

There are four films listed so far for this year’s 24-hour marathon. One of the directors of these four films also made a film loosely based on the famous Elizabeth Bathory, the Hungarian noblewoman who was said to have killed upward to 650 young girls to bath in their blood.

What is the name of the director and the name of the film?

Music Box of Horrors Giveaway

let-sleeping-corpses-lie-1For those who didn’t know, the Music Box of Horrors returns this year on October 24th for another 24-hours of movies, mayhem and madness. They have only announced a few titles so far, more recently the addition of Jorge Grau’s Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue (aka Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, amongst about a dozen other titles). Needless to say, I was very excited to hear that, since this is one of my favorite European zombie films. Made only a few years after Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, and amazing gore effects by Italian mastro Giannetto De Rossi (Zombie, The Beyond, House by the Cemetery), Grau gave us something that was slightly different in the zombie mythology, with a little bit of a enviromental message, and one hoot of a undead flick. If you haven’t seen this, then now is your chance to not only see it, but see it on the big screen! The Krypt will be vending once again this year, so we’ll have our usual wares of horror reference books for you to help with your horror education.

Tickets for this onslaught of horror are only $25 if you purchase them before October 1st. Between the 1st and Oct. 23rd, the tickets will be $30, and then $35 at the day of the show. So you should really order your tickets now and save that extra little bit of cash.

Upcoming Movie Events!

nightmareelmstNo better way to get into the upcoming Halloween season than to plan some all night movie marathons of some classic movies, right? Well, there’s a couple of events coming up in the Chicago area over the next couple of months that everyone should not only know about, but make plans to attend at least some of them. Of course, it is not just because we are going to have a vendor table set there either! But honestly, these are the kind of events where crazy horror film fans can get together and celebrate some incredible films amongst their peers!

The first event is in a little over two weeks away, on Sept. 19th, at the Midway Drive-In, for their annual Dusk to Dawn Drive In Horror Fest. We’ve been to the Midway countess times and always have a blast there. For this event, they are screening a couple of features in tribute to Wes Craven, with screenings of A Nightmare on Elm Street and the original Hills Have Eyes. But they are also screening An American Werewolf in London and Motel Hell. Lots of fun to be had there. Of course, there will also be plenty of vintage trailers and classic drive-in advertisements, as well as yours truly set up outside the concession booth, along with our good friends at Lix. Tickets are only $12 for adults and $5 for kids 3-11. Head over to their website HERE for all the details, and we hope to see you there.
