Shudder announced today an all-new special, The Last Drive-In: Nightmareathon, celebrating the conclusion of The Last Drive-In’s supersized sixth season, which debuted earlier this year. The special premieres Friday, August 30, at 9 p.m. ET on the Shudder TV and AMC+ TV feeds and will be available on demand on both platforms the following Sunday, September 1.
Joe Bob Briggs, Darcy the Mail Girl, and a few surprise guests are up all night to party like jungle animals for The Last Drive-In: Nightmareathon, a dusk-to-dawn marathon event celebrating 6 years and 6 seasons with 6 killer movies… just like the devil intended.
On The Last Drive-In, Briggs, the world’s foremost drive-in movie critic, hosts eclectic horror movies, discussing their merits, histories, and significance to genre cinema. Fans can watch new episodes of season six every other Friday night on Shudder and AMC+. The Last Drive-In: Nightmareathon will cap off season six in a way only The Last Drive-In crew knows how: with a special six-movie marathon.
The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs is produced by Matt Manjourides and Justin Martell and directed by Austin Jennings.
