After four years of drive-in shenanigans across Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Nevada, ol' Joe Bob wanted to do somethin' "a little more intimate and a lot more scary." So we're bringin' the drive-in experience indoors - complete with air conditioning, y'all!
TEXAS THEATRE HISTORY IMAGE
Haunted History
The Texas Theatre ain't just any old picture house - it's where Lee Harvey Oswald was nabbed after shootin' JFK. Legend says his ghost still whispers "Well, it's all over now" in the projection booth. Professor Morte's gonna try to summon that spook!
PROFESSOR MORTE IMAGE
Professor Morte's Spook Show
Shane Morton's skeleton-faced Professor Morte has been scarin' folks in Atlanta for 18 years with his Silver Scream Spook Show. Now he's bringin' that old-fashioned William Castle-style terror to Dallas!

What's the difference between the main auditorium and simulcast room?+

Doors open at 7:00 PM for the 7:00 PM start time. VIP ticket holders get early entry for photo ops with Joe Bob and Darcy. Don't be late - this train leaves the station on time!
Can I leave and come back during the 12-hour event?+
This is a 12-hour overnight endurance test from 7 PM to 7 AM. Check with the venue about re-entry policies, but remember - real mutants stay for the whole shebang!
What should I bring?+
Bring layers for comfort during the 12-hour marathon, and don't forget your costume for the contest! A sense of humor and strong stomach for B-movie mayhem are also recommended.
Is food available throughout the night?+
Yep! The Texas Theatre has a full bar and concession stand. The simulcast room also has its own bar space. You won't starve, but you might get scared to death!
What's the parking situation?+
FREE parking along Jefferson Blvd after 4pm (meters before 4pm are 25 cents/hour). Additional FREE parking at the Texas Theatre lot adjacent to Bank of Texas, corner of Madison Ave and Centre St.
What movies will be shown?+
Joe Bob's keeping the lineup more secret than the Colonel's recipe, but he's hinted at a William Castle classic presented with all the original gimmicks, plus a settling of the Halloween III debate once and for all!
Don't Get Left Behind, Mutants!
