Alamo Drafthouse $5 Sneak Preview Night
The big official opening of the Alamo Drafthouse at the Mission Theater isn’t until this weekend’s Star Wars movies, but they’ve quietly opened up in advance with a series of strange $5 movies.
Monday night see “The Funtastic World of Santasploitation” presented by the American Genre Film Archive.
We’ve raided the American Genre Film Archive for the best-of-the-best in bizarro Christmas lunacy. Adults dressed in dollar-store animal costumes! Delusional Christmas clowns! SATAN! And to top it all off, a brand new 2K transfer of the most infamous full-length Santasploitation mind-melter of all time — THE MAGIC CHRISTMAS TREE! We cannot be held responsible for any lasting trauma.
Be among the first to check out the new theater with five screens, a full food and drink menu (including milkshakes and craft cocktails), and the first theater in North America equipped with Sony’s 515DS Dual-4K projector
