Special Guests for Shudder’s “The Last Drive-In: Summer Sleepover Special” Include Kane Hodder & Felissa Rose
Joe Bob Briggs returns to Shudder this Friday night for “The Last Drive-In: Summer Sleepover Special,” a one-night special event that’s loaded with guest appearances. Joining Joe Bob and Darcy will be Adam Green (Frozen, Hatchet series), with several surprise guests announced today including Kane Hodder, Felissa Rose, Tiffany Shepis and Brian Quinn.
The special episode, pre-taped prior to quarantine, will premiere on Friday, August 14, at 9pm ET/6pm PT on the Shudder TV feed in the U.S. and Canada.
“We’ve never squeezed this many guests into the trailer park before, and all five of them are icons, from the guy who created the ‘Hatchet’ series to the guy who played Jason to one of the masterminds behind ‘Impractical Jokers’ to two bona fide scream queens. I call this a Pop Culture Brain-Exploding Overdose, and they all came ready to dish,” said Joe Bob Briggs.
On “The Last Drive-In,” Briggs, the world’s foremost drive-in movie critic, presents an eclectic horror movie double feature, interrupting the films to expound upon their merits, histories and significance to genre cinema. Shudder and Briggs first teamed up in July 2018, for the 24-hour marathon intended to be Briggs’ final farewell to televised movie hosting. Due to overwhelming popular demand, Shudder brought The Last Drive-In back as a weekly series and for multiple holiday specials. A third season has been announced, slated to premiere in 2021.

When best friends Glen (Stephen Dorff) and Terry (Louis Tripp) stumble across a mysterious crystalline rock in Glen’s backyard, they quickly dig up the newly sodden lawn searching for more precious stones. Instead, they unearth The Gate — an underground chamber of terrifying demonic evil. The teenagers soon understand what evil they’ve released as they are overcome with an assortment of horrific experiences. With fiendish followers invading suburbia, it’s now up to the kids to discover the secret that can lock The Gate forever . . . if it’s not too late.
If you’ve never seen The Gate, it’s now streaming on Prime Video and Tubi.
