Shock and Awe at the Fox Theatre - Win Tickets

Posted by Jerrold Litwinenko / June 5, 2009

Fox CinemaOn Saturday June 13th Dion Conflict and the Fox Theatre present another installment of Shock and Awe: The Grindhouse Experience - an homage to the classic grindhouse film and viewing experience.

An all-nighter at the cinema, consisting of a lineup of 6 not-to-be-taken-too-seriously 60's, 70's, and 80's movies screened using film projectors (no DVDs here, folks), is sure to bring serious enjoyment. This unique experience is a way to ensure that we'll be thoroughly entertained through the night, sleeping most of the day on Sunday, and groggy enough on Monday. It wouldn't be grindhouse any other way!

blogTO has tickets to give away to a few lucky readers. Check out some trailers and read on for contest entry details.
