THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT IS BACK—and this time, we’re working OVERTIME.

Clock in at 8:00 PM for THE FLY (1986), IT’S ALIVE (1974), and PIRANHA 3D (2010)—followed deep into the night by a MYSTERY MOVIE DOUBLE FEATURE, with both titles kept secret until they hit the screen. Between the movies, expect giveaways, rare trailers, hand-picked short films, surprises, coffee, and much-needed breaks to keep the night shift moving. Five movies. Nine hours. Two mystery films. One very long shift. Clock in at 8:00 PM. Punch out around 5:00 AM—if you make it.
