AMC Airing Thanksgiving Weekend Monster Movie Marathon
Because nothing beats turkey leftovers and Graboids!
AMC has been killing it with their post-Halloween horror movie marathons, the network recently celebrating franchises like Child’s Play, Alien, and Ghostbusters with all-night programming blocks – okay, so the Ghostbusters marathon was only two films played on a loop, but that’s not their fault. In celebration of Thanksgiving, AMC is serving up a smorgasbord of MONSTERS.
The great thing about Thanksgiving is that it provides us with four days to do nothing but eat, drink, and loaf around on the couch, and AMC understands that you’ll probably be so bloated, tired, and otherwise lazy that the idea of grabbing movies off your shelf and sliding them into your player is way too much to even consider. So they’ve chosen your Thanksgiving weekend marathon for you, and they want to make sure that it’s packed with as much monster action as possible.
AMC’s Monstergiving Marathon kicks off at 1pm EST on Saturday, November 26th with the classic creature feature Tremors, followed by underrated sequels Tremors 2: Aftershocks and Tremors 3: Back to Perfection. From there, Predators joins the fun at 7:45pm, and the marathon continues through Sunday morning with Lake Placid, Alien, and replays of Tremors 2 and Predators.
So there. Your weekend is planned. Enjoy.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
