North Texas Studio Movie Grills stir up Horror Remix Halloween treat
Why did it have to be zombies? Because the vampires were booked already, one supposes.

By the time you leave the theater after seeing the Horror Remix Zombies triple feature, it'll be Halloween. And you'll be primed and ready for it.
That's because the show starts (at all five area Studio Movie Grill locations) at 10 p.m., and it runs for 120 minutes. Even an English major can do the math on this one.
What's that you say? Three zombie flicks in 120 minutes? That's right, corpse-breath.
See, the Horror Remix crew have a slogan: "All killer, no filler." These boys locked themselves into the edit suite with three schlocky horror films from the 70's and 80's and didn't emerge until the ridiculous (and pointless, to a gorehound) character setups and plot twistings had been semi-surgically removed, leaving just enough cheesy dialog to - ah - flesh out the slashing, bashing and naughty-bit flashing.
GENIUS!
The three movies in question: Sole Survivor ('83), directed by the estimable Thom Eberhardt, who went on to make I was a Teenage Faust; The Dark Power ('85), starring whipmeister Lash La Rue and a demi-bevy of beauties; and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie ('75), by unredoubtable Spanish director Jorge Grau.
NOTE that - due to the mindless casual bloodletting and (I pray to God) abundance of gratuitous nudity - no one under 17 will be allowed in without a parent or fake I.D.
