Paramount Scares is hosting a ‘FRIDAY THE 13TH’ marathon at Chicago’s Music Box
Heads up, campers: This year’s September 13th lands on a Friday. You know what that means. Paramount Scares certainly does, which is why they’re presenting a very, very special event with Bloody Disgusting: an eight-film FRIDAY THE 13TH marathon at Chicago’s Music Box Theatre on — you guessed it — Friday, September 13th.
From noon until the dead of night, fans can try to survive the first eight films of the franchise:
FRIDAY THE 13th
FRIDAY THE 13th Part II
FRIDAY THE 13th Part III
FRIDAY THE 13th – The Final Chapter
FRIDAY THE 13th Part V – A New Beginning
FRIDAY THE 13th Part VI: Jason Lives
FRIDAY THE 13th Part VII – The New Blood
FRIDAY THE 13th Part VIII – Jason Takes Manhattan
This is a true-blue event for Friday fans. In addition to this iconic run, there will be horror vendors on site, themed drinks in the lounge, food trucks outside, photo ops throughout the theater, and our very own BloodyFM podcast Halloweenies: A Horror Franchise to host trivia/prizes between every film. In fact, they’ll be giving away one big Survivor’s Kit at the very end to one lucky fan who survives all eight films.
If you can’t make it to Chicago, here’s some good news, camper: FANGORIA and Paramount Scares are presenting nationwide screenings of FRIDAY THE 13th – The Final Chapter as part of their SCREAM GREATS SERIES to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary. You can secure tickets to those showings right now.
