HALLOWEEN at The Alamo !!!


There is a whole damn lot of Halloween electricity coursing through our veins, and 2009 has somehow exploded as the most Halloween-fueled weekend in Alamo history!

At Alamo South Lamar, Friday kicks off with the opening of the incredible new Satan-powered feature HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, one of the best new American horror films in years/decades. At 10 PM, South Lamar will also be ground zero for OWEN & ZACK'S HALLOWEEN EVE EXTRAVAGANZA, an outrageous celebration of the most underrated horror sequel of the '80s, hosted by Professor of HALLOWEEN 4-ology Owen Egerton and Terror Tuesday goofball Zack Carlson. Expect games, treats, murder and true entertainment.

Saturday at Alamo South Lamar pulls no punches either. Our Free Saturday Morning Kids Club show will be the heartstopper THE WATCHER IN THE WOODS, featuring ghosts, mystery and enough trauma to wipe out a kindergarten. Our most respectable (but still wildly entertaining) Halloween offering will be a screening of the 1929 classic PHANTOM OF THE OPERA with a live score from the Golden Arm Trio's Graham Reynolds! This is an unmissable event pairing one of the finest silent films with one of Austin's most talented musicians. Later that night, we'll be allying with The Highball to present The DANCE OF THE DEAD Zombie Prom, which will have you laughing, screaming and dancing until the sunrise melts the flesh from your bones.

But it's not over yet...the Alamo Ritz downtown will be home to Master Pancake Theater's brutal(ly hilarious) slaughtering of the original A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. After years of vicious assaults, Freddy's about to get a taste of his own medicine from Austin's most venerable yuksters.

At Alamo Village, we're continuing our run of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS in 3D with our new 4K Digital Projection system!

Plus surprise 2009 horror faves ZOMBIELAND and PARANORMAL ACTIVITY rage onward through the weekend!!

As you can see, Austin is experiencing a proud and glorious time for beasts, creatures, bloodsuckers and maniacs. Join us for the CHAOS!!!
