Ice Nine Kills have announced a new partnership with AMC. The collaboration will include a special “Welcome To Horrorwood” Thrills & Chills film series. The following was said about that in a press release:
“This October, AMC Theatres® (NYSE: AMC), the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and the world, is teaming up with horror metal icons Ice Nine Kills to bring some of horror’s most unforgettable films back to the big screen for ‘Welcome to Horrorwood,’ a monthlong AMC Thrills & Chills® series at approximately 300 AMC locations across the U.S.
Inspired by Ice Nine Kills’ ‘The Silver Scream’ and ‘The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood’ albums, and in partnership with horror entertainment brand Bloody Disgusting, the series pairs the band’s love of horror with five films that have helped define the genre: ‘HOSTEL,’ ‘FRIDAY THE 13TH,’ ‘AMERICAN PSYCHO,’ ‘PET SEMATARY,’ and ‘THE CROW.’ Each screening will also feature a custom introduction from Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas before the film, followed by the band’s corresponding music video inspired by the feature.
‘Welcome to Horrorwood’ takes over Friday and Tuesday nights at AMC throughout October, with all screenings beginning at 8 p.m. local time. For Halloween weekend, ‘THE CROW’ will be featured as the Friday night title on October 30, and returns for a special Halloween night screening on Saturday, October 31.
All tickets are available at AMC Fan Faves discounted pricing.
