AN EXPLOSIVE DOUBLE BILL FROM QUENTIN TARANTINO & ROBERT RODRIGUEZ! Eighteen years ago, gruesome twosome Quentin Tarantino (KILL BILL) & Robert Rodriguez (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN) brought the high-octane, lowbrow thrills of grindhouse cinema of the ’70s & ’80s to the multiplex of the ’00s. Now, Popcorn Frights is bringing back the down-and-dirty vibe of the original GRINDHOUSE double feature containing Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR & Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF back-to-back, packing a whole lotta spirit, grime, cameos, and car chases into 191 minutes. Plus, this special screening preserves the original theatrical exhibition format, complete with fake trailers, bumpers, and other hallmarks of showmanship from decades past.

First up, Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR has fallout from a bio-weapon turning the townsfolk into zombies. It’s then up to the gun-legged Rose McGowan and her pals to combat the chaos. Freddy Rodriguez, Bruce Willis, Marley Shelton, and Josh Brolin co-star. Next, Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF features psychotic driver Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell), who uses his souped-up movie car to stalk and kill young women. However, he just may get his comeuppance when he targets the wrong group of feisty gals, with their own fast ride.
