Phoenix Premiere of ‘Beyond the Gates’ to Include a VHS Tape Swap!
The awesomely fun Beyond the Gates (read Kalyn’s review) is set to make it’s Phoenix premiere at FilmBar in downtown Phoenix on Friday, February 10th at 10:00 PM. Festivities leading up to the screening will actually kick off at 8:00 PM with a VHS Tape Swap where horror hounds can buy/trade/exchange horror memorabilia from VHS tapes, magazines, posters and so on with other liked minded individuals. And this is all just the tip of the iceberg! The film’s director and Arizona native Jackson Stewart will be in attendance and participating in a post-screening Q&A that will be part of a podcast hosted by BS Movies Podcast! Tickets for the film are only $9.
This is going to be a rad evening, I can guarantee you that. FilmBar is one of my favorite theaters in the entire world. It’s a cool little joint with nice vibes that is always playing the most interesting films from cult classics to newer indie darlings. No matter what you end up seeing at FilmBar you’re sure to have a one-of-a-kind experience. And if you’re not looking to see a movie FilmBar is just a really cool place to hang out and grab a drink. If you live in Phoenix you should be going here on a regular basis. If you’re ever visiting Phoenix you should make it a point to stop by.
And then you have the movie, which we all know is awesome. Seriously if you haven’t seen Beyond the Gates yet what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?! It’s so much fun and such a loving nod to VHS board games. That Stewart guy, he’s going places!
Then there’s the VHS Tape Swap which is just a really cool added bonus and totally fits with the film. VHS Tape Swaps are always exciting because you never know what you’re going to find. Even if you’re not into collected VHS you’re likely to find something really cool. Go geek out and have a good time!
Seven months after their alcoholic father’s disappearance, estranged brothers Gordon and John Hardesty reunite to liquidate their Dad’s anemic video store. Soon after, they unearth an old VCR board game that acts as an inter-dimensional hub to a nightmare world where their Father’s soul is trapped and can only be saved by playing the game. The film is a horror adventure that pays loving tribute to the VHS format, 1980’s horror movies and board games of the era.
FilmBar is located at 815 N. 2nd St, Phoenix, AZ 85004 on Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix. Tickets can be purchased here.
