THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN isn’t making many stops … but we’re one of them

According to Cinematical.com, the new horror flick THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN is only opening on 100 screens this weekend. That’s sort of strange, but even stranger is the fact that all those theaters are second-run houses. And even stranger than that is that one of those houses is our very own North Towne Theater.
Based on a story by horror writer Cliver Barker, THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN follows a photographer who explores the subways of New York City and encounters a nasty character called “The Butcher” who preys on unwitting passengers. It looks like a genuinely grim and gory movie, as the title seems to indicate. Reviews are surprisingly good — if you like this sort of movie, you’ll probably like THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN.
So this post is for you, horror movie fans — check out MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN this weekend. If it’s only playing on 100 screens nationwide, there are probably a lot of other gorehounds all over this great land of ours who wish they had a chance to see it.

Sweet! Not ony do we get to see it on the big screen after all, but for under $2!
…and if this word of its theatrical release spreads, chances are a lot of gorehounds will be driving in to see it. I have yet to find another Northern IL theater playing it (including Chicago), and the nearest I HAVE found is Racine, WI. Been a long time since I’ve seen a packed house at North Towne. Maybe this is their chance!
