‘The Last Drive In: Joe Bob’s Haunted Halloween Hangout’ to Premiere on Shudder This Friday

Written by John Edward Betancourt

One thing that horror fans can agree upon, is that October 2022 has been very good to us. After all, the grand conclusion to Laurie Strode and the Shape’s long-running standoff arrived via Halloween Ends, plus… Shudder has simply been slaying it all month long. After all, we were just treated to Dario Argento’s brand-new feature on the network, and there’s a new V/H/S movie on the way this week and as if that wasn’t enough to bring us endless horror themed joy there’s one more treat coming our way. 
 
For Friday will bring forth the debut of another Joe Bob Briggs Halloween themed special, The Last Drive In: Joe Bob’s Haunted Halloween Hangout. Which of course means we are going to be treated to some epic horror films and Joe Bob’s incredible commentary and special brand of sass. All of which is the perfect Halloween treat, but as an added bonus, we learned today through a lovely promo released by Shudder… that Joe Bob will be joined by a very special guest during this event, Cassandra Peterson!
 
Yes, that’s right, the Mistress of the Dark herself will be on hand to add her own commentary to the movie marathon that awaits us, making this one of the most epic Halloween specials to ever the hit airwaves and to help build the anticipation for it… here’s that teaser trailer for the show, and a synopsis, courtesy of Shudder.
