Zombie Fever

We have made so many announcements this week, my head is swimming. But we still have one more item to plug. For the next six Sundays at 10pm, the zombies from AMC Television's new series The Walking Dead will be taking over. We've had so much fun showing one-off tv shows that we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to air a complete series. (It helps that it is on Sunday night and doesn't conflict with our regular film programming). Not to mention The Walking Dead has a film connection...it was written and executive produced by Frank Darabont...the man behind The Shawshank Redemption. Check out the review in the Wall Street Journal.

So to really go all out in honor of The Walking Dead we've got some things up our sleeve and I'll let you in on a few:
1.) Dressing up as a zombie is highly encouraged. Check out the photo below of the staged zombie invasion in London for ideas...

Even better...check out the photo of our staff decked out as a/perture zombies...

2.) For those diehards who are able to visit us for all six episodes....there will be a reward. We've created a special punch-card and if you visit our concession stand for a treat each Sunday you will get "punched." If you get all six punches, you will receive a gift card for two movie tickets, a large popcorn and two fountain drinks!
3.) Following episode 5 (November 28), we are excited to be hosting our very first ever skype q&a with former Winston-Salem resident Jeryl Prescott Sales who has a recurring role as "Jacqui" in the series. Check out our friend Tim Clodfelter's interview with Jeryl here.

4.) Ssalefish Comics is providing us with coupons to give away and a prize for the best dressed zombie (10/31 only). We'll also have some issues of the first comic in The Walking Dead series for sale.
5.)????

Hope to see your zombified face soon!
