LDW Schedule! The movie screening schedule is tight and there are some overlaps so pay close attention to what you’re choosing to attend and please plan accordingly.

It was impossible to pack all of these events into one final weekend without a little overlap. For example, if you really want to be at the RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD screening do not choose the Friday night DAWN screening. RE-ANIMATOR does not overlap with the DAWN screening however.

VIP Ticket Reminder! If you already hold a VIP Ticke for LDW, please note that this ticket gives you admission to both the Friday Night Film Screening Party of RE-ANIMATOR and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, and also the Saturday Midnight screening of DAWN OF THE DEAD.

Friday Night Movie Screening Party! We will be screening both RE-ANIMATOR and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD in our private party room Friday Oct 16 beginning at 8:00 PM. The format of this screening is a bit more casual than the theater screenings of DAWN OF THE DEAD. We are combining our Halloween Party with film screenings in a large party room. There are areas set up for watching movies, and other open areas to mingle. The highlight of this room is the return of our fully immersive cemetery set complete with a full size crypt built to dance on just like seen in RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD.

If you hold a VIP Ticket, this party and screenings are included at no extra cost. Thus you should not buy a ticket!

All other types of LDW General Admission tickets will need to purchase an add-on ticket for this Film Screening Party.

Schedule
8:00: RE-ANIMATOR
10:00: RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD

There will be free drinks and movie snacks throughout the party!
