The Stanley Film Festival is taking place next week and we've teamed up with them to offer Daily Dead readers free passes to a screening of Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead. We also have details on how you can join Colonel Herzog as he leads his zombie army from The Stanley Hotel to the Historic Park Theater for the screening.
"Picking up immediately where the original left off, Dead Snow; Red vs. Dead wastes no time getting right to the gore-filled action, leaving a bloody trail of intestines in its wake. Director Tommy Wirkola returns to the helm with a vengeance, coming up with more inventive ways to maim and dismember than you ever thought possible. Combining wry humor with horrific worst-case scenarios, this follow-up to the 2009 Midnight classic is sure to shock the weak-of-heart and delight even the most hard-core fans of the horror genre. Colonel Herzog is back, and he is not to be fucked with."
