Calling all St. Louis-area Drive-In Mutants!

Drive-in movie legend Joe Bob Briggs brings his signature blend of film history and humor to the historic Hi-Pointe Theatre on Thursday, January 16th,  for Joe Bob’s Indoor Drive-In Geek Out: Cult of the Rock Star Night!

Prepare for a high-octane rock ‘n’ roll double feature like no other, featuring two legendary cult classics on the big screen: Bruce Campbell as an aging Elvis Presley fighting an ancient mummy in Bubba Ho-Tep, and the ultimate high-school rebellion powered by the Ramones in Rock ‘n’ Roll High School. Joe Bob will take the stage before each film to deliver his famous live introductions, complete with deep-dive trivia and his iconic Drive-In Totals.

We’ll party like jungle animals all night long with continuous meet-and-greets where you can buy exclusive merch, have your memorabilia autographed, and chat with Joe Bob. Cosplay is encouraged, so break out your best Elvis jumpsuits, nursing home gowns, or Ramones leather jackets and Riff Randell attire.

Tickets are limited for this one-night-only event, so grab yours before they’re gone!

Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)

Director: Don Coscarelli
Starring: Bruce Campbell, Ossie Davis
Runtime: 92 minutes
Elvis Presley is alive and living in a Texas nursing home—or so claims an elderly resident who insists he swapped identities with an impersonator decades earlier. When a mysterious Egyptian mummy begins preying on the home’s residents, Elvis teams up with a fellow resident who believes he’s President John F. Kennedy to battle the supernatural menace. Blending offbeat comedy, horror, and unexpected poignancy, Bubba Ho-Tep is a wildly inventive tale of aging, friendship, and one last shot at glory.

Rock ‘n’ Roll High School (1979)

Director: Allan Arkush
Starring: P.J. Soles, Mary Woronov, The Ramones
Runtime: 93 minutes
At Vince Lombardi High School, rebellious teenager Riff Randell (P.J. Soles) lives for rock ‘n’ roll, especially the music of the Ramones. But when the school’s tyrannical new principal, Miss Togar (Mary Woronov), declares war on rock music and teenage rebellion, Riff and her classmates refuse to back down. With a little help from the Ramones themselves, the students launch an all-out revolt against authority in this anarchic, high-energy cult comedy packed with punk rock, teenage mischief, and explosive musical mayhem.
