Then, on the 3rd, the Shudder Original film, V/H/S/Halloween, unleashes another series of twisted blood-soaked tales.

On the 5th, it’s time to take in a drive-in movie. In The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl invite us to immerse ourselves in a bone-tingling double-feature sure to delight horror buffs and video hounds alike. Fast forward to the 7th, and The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula: Titans Season 2 waits to escort us behind the velvet curtain. This season, fourteen of the fiercest drag artists from past seasons will return to battle in design, performance, and makeup-based challenges inspired by horror, science fiction, fantasy, and the supernatural.

THE HITS KEEP COMING…
