A handful of horror classics including The Evil Dead and Halloween have been making an unexpected return to drive-in theaters this year, and the late George A. Romero‘s seminal zombie classic Night of the Living Dead will be joining them beginning later this month!

We’ve learned today that Grindhouse Releasing and Janus Films have gotten together to present Night of the Living Dead at select drive-in theaters, the screenings equipped with an all-new introduction to the film, discussing the legacy of Romero, from Romero’s co-author, bestselling author Daniel Kraus of the newly released epic zombie novel The Living Dead.

The intro will be playing before Night of the Living Dead at these upcoming drive-in theaters:

  • August 22 – Prides Corner Drive-In, Westbrook, Maine
  • August 28-29 – Riverside Drive-In, Vandergrift, PA (as part of a double feature with Evil Dead)
  • September 19 – Midway Drive-In, Sterling, IL (as part of the Dusk to Dawn Horror Show)

All three drive-ins will feature the new 4K restoration of the movie from Janus Films.

If/when more drive-in locations are announced, we’ll let you know.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
