If we have to go, you know we're going to go out in style. The first ten years of the Alamo have
been absolutely amazing for all of us involved, and we can only hope that they've been at least
half that great for all of you. There are so many people who have so many memories wrapped up
inside this building that June 27th is sure to be an emotional night for us all. But before we get
all weepy about it, we're going to throw one last party and when all's said and done, we'll even
let you take your seat home with you so you can have a piece of Alamo history with you forever and
ever. Tickets for "Last Night at the Alamo" go on sale on May 27.
Midnite: NIGHT WARNING - with SUSAN TYRRELL LIVE!
For our very last show we will spotlight a style of film and
a style of filmgoer that is close to our heart. This is the last Weird Wednesday--the last movie--in fact, at the Original Alamo, and you'd better believe we
put a lot of thought into this one. And we feel pretty confident that this movie is about as good
as it can ever possibly get. Seriously. This is a completely stunning ensemble cast horror film
that delivers with non-PC attitudes, shocking violence, a well sketched small-town milieu and one
of the great performances in the history of the genre from Susan Tyrrell. She goes from seductive
to clinging to terrifyingly murderous and back again at light speed. She's the Ferrari of
actresses. It's the kind of performance that would be highly acclaimed in a mainstream movie but
as it's in a disreputable horror movie the only people likely to see it are the kinds of twisted
degenerates who stay up all night on a weeknight watching sick movies at the Alamo. Maybe that's
fair. With Bo Svenson as a brutal, homophobic cop and Jimmy McNichol as the kid caught in the
middle. Intense, terrifying and wrong. This is what it's all about. And if you don't agree, then
fuck you. (Lars)
Special thanks to Wiley Wiggins who found Susan Tyrrell on MySpace, thus spawning this great event!!
Tickets for all of these events will go on sale on May 27, one month away from the "Last Night at
the Alamo." We'll be releasing tickets in chunks, with the first batch to go on sale being triple
feature sets that include a wrench to take your seats home with you at the end of the night as
well as a special commemorative poster, then triple feature tickets that don't include a seat
(seats come two to a leg), then, if there are any left, we'll release tickets to individual shows.
Tickets will be available online starting at 1pm on May 27, but they'll also be available at the
box office at the Downtown theater itself starting at noon that morning. When they're gone,
they're gone. Forever. We'll see you there. Stay tuned to this website for information about our
new home, Alamo Drafthouse at the Ritz, tentatively scheduled to open in September.
We'll be opening up tickets at the box office Downtown at noon on Sunday, then opening up online ticket sales at 1pm. Tickets for the full on triple feature will be $225 and will include the six course feast with matching wine during Big Night, the seat you're sitting in and a hand-silkscreened commemorative poster. Double feature tickets for EARTHQUAKE and NIGHT WARNING will be $85. For Heroes of the Alamo members and Fantastic Fest badge holders, tickets are $200 & $70 respectively. Individual tickets may be available at the door night of the show.
All of these proceeds will then go straight into the Ritz construction fund so we can try to push that along and open the doors there with a gala opening night celebration just as soon as possible.
Tickets for the triple feature are sold out, but there are still a small number of tickets available for the Earthquake/Night Warning Double Feature (Available for sale from the Earthquake show page.
