October, we meet again. The leaves are starting to fall, the dead starting to arise, and drive-in theaters are back in demand. The Chicago Film Scene is here to cover the much anticipated "Music Box of Horrors" event throughout the month of yes, you guessed it, October.  The Music Box is partnering with the Chi-Town Movies Drive-In to bring Chicago thirty-one nights of terror! Today we are here to give you the basic information, but please proceed with caution.

FILM INFORMATION I

Grindhouse Fridays
On Fridays, we celebrate the movies your parents warned you about! Long since replaced by bland suburban multiplexes, grindhouse theaters reveled in humanity’s underbelly with twisted double features designed to turn your stomach, offend your sensibilities, and make you scream. Whether it be exploitation, splatter, perverse, transgressive, or just plain gross, Fridays are for sickos—and we can't wait!

FILM INFORMATION II (THE REVENGE)

 
Sequel Sundays
It's easy to get overwhelmed when doing deep dives into a horror franchise, trying to dig through all a series has to offer. Lucky for you, we've done the work and are proud to offer up some of the best of the best in the realm of horror sequels!
 
 
Rip-Off Saturdays
There's only one thing better than watching a horror classic on the big screen, and that’s watching a blatant, unauthorized rip-off immediately afterwards! On Saturdays, we offer up the heavy hitters you know and love, and then give you the chance to stick around and watch some mind-melting, unhinged insanity! With everything from Canadian-snake-charming telepathy, to Bollywood Freddy Kreugers, we gleefully invite you to expand your mind with the rip-offs you didn't know you needed!
