Horror fans, rejoice! The legendary horror host Joe Bob Briggs is back in action with an all-new special, "The Last Drive-In: Nightmareathon," celebrating the epic conclusion of The Last Drive-In’s supersized sixth season, which debuted earlier this year.
Mark your calendars for Friday, August 30 at 9pm ET, when the special premieres on the Shudder TV and AMC+ TV feeds. If you miss the live event, don’t worry – it will be available on demand on both platforms starting Sunday, September 1.
In "The Last Drive-In: Nightmareathon," Joe Bob Briggs and his trusty sidekick Darcy the Mail Girl will be joined by a few surprise guests for an all-night horror marathon. Get ready to party like jungle animals as they celebrate 6 years and 6 seasons with 6 killer movies… just like the devil intended.
As always, the lineup for the marathon is a closely guarded secret, but you can follow Joe Bob on social media for hints leading up to the event on August 30. Expect a night filled with eclectic horror films, insightful commentary, and the unique charm that only Joe Bob Briggs can deliver.
For those new to The Last Drive-In, Joe Bob Briggs is the world’s foremost drive-in movie critic, hosting a variety of horror movies while discussing their merits, histories, and significance to genre cinema. Fans have been tuning in every other Friday night on Shudder and AMC+ to catch new episodes of season six, and "The Last Drive-In: Nightmareathon" promises to cap off the season in a spectacular fashion with a special six-movie marathon.
In a recent interview with Bloody Disgusting, Briggs shared his passion for the genre and his plans for the future: “I don’t see retiring from this or retiring from writing. I’m primarily a writer, and the good thing about writing is long after they don’t wanna see you on TV anymore you can still write."
Reflecting on the evolution of genre criticism, Briggs noted, “The difference today, though, is I was pretty much the only guy doing genre films when I started. Now, there are academics that do it. There are entire books written about Dario Argento and Tobe Hooper and even lesser names than those, and there are, of course, a massive number of websites, including your own, so that when something comes out today, there’s immediately a hundred reviews of it; whereas in 1982, I was sort of the only guy, because the movies were considered disposable trash. So I have been surpassed in my deep knowledge because who can keep up with all that? It’s impossible!”
Produced by Matt Manjourides and Justin Martell and directed by Austin Jennings, "The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs" continues to be a beloved staple for horror enthusiasts. Don’t miss out on this special event – it’s going to be a night to remember!
