The Last Drive-In Theme on Limited Edition Vinyl: "Give the gift of Joe Bob this holiday season with a limited edition 45 RPM record featuring the now-iconic theme from "The Last Drive-In" by Brennan & The Bigfeet.
Earlier this year, Joe Bob Briggs made his triumphant return to television with The Last Drive-In on AMC's Shudder Network. Guess what? He's here to stay. Joe Bob recently followed up his epic 24-hour horror marathon, which famously crashed Shudder's streaming service, with his Dinners of Death Thanksgiving special. Next, Joe Bob will share the spirit of drive-in Christmas with "A Very Joe Bob Christmas," which will air on Shudder on December 21st.
In anticipation of "A Very Joe Bob Xmas," Ship To Shore PhonoCo. is proud to offer the theme from The Last Drive-In, "Joe Bob Is Back In Town," by John Brennan & The Bigfeet as a limited edition 45 RPM record. Limited to 500 copies, the 45 has been pressed on blood-red wax, with a color picture sleeve featuring Justin Osbourn's artwork, seen previously on Fright Rags' "Joe Bob's Last Drive-In t-shirt." On the flip side of the 45 is the charming, acoustic version of the show's theme, featured during the end credits of July's original marathon.
As an added bonus, Ship To Shore PhonoCo. is offering a limited edition cassette tape of Brennan and the Bigfeet frontman John Brennan's solo material as a bundle with the 45.
The record is available for purchase HERE.

The Final Wish Screening Details: Press Release: "From the creator of the Final Destination franchise comes a new, twisted tale of death in “The Final Wish.” Following the passing of his father, Aaron returns home to his devastated mother and to confront his past demons. Sifting through his father’s belongings, he stumbles upon an urn which is far more than it seems.
Coming to movie theaters nationwide for one night on January 24, “The Final Wish” event will include a special introduction by Lin Shaye along with a pre-taped Q&A from Screamfest Horror Film Festival with actors Lin Shaye (Insidious, The Grudge), Michael Welch (The Twilight Saga), Tony Todd (Candyman, Final Destination) and Melissa Bolona (The Hurricane Heist), director Timothy Woodward Jr. (Hickok, Gangster Land) and Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick.
Tickets for “The Final Wish” can be purchased beginning December 14 at www.FathomEvents.com and participating theater box offices.
Fathom Events and Cinedigm will screen “The Final Wish” in movie theaters nationwide on Thursday, January 24 at 7:30 p.m. local time. For a complete list of theater locations, visit the Fathom Events website (theaters and participants are subject to change).
“The Final Wish” follows Aaron (Welch), a consummate underachiever, who returns home to his devastated mother (Shaye) following the passing of his father. Among his father’s antiques, he comes across an urn hiding a dark secret. As his every wish begins coming true, Aaron starts to believe there is something sinister behind his good fortune and the price of his desire might just be his soul.
“There are so many horror stories that have ingrained themselves into the psyche of society,” says Woodward Jr. “For me growing up Final Destination was one of those stories and to work with the creator of those films so closely was a dream come true. The cast members also fully committed to their characters which helped us tell a story we hope is both fresh and frightening.”
“The Final Wish” is based on a story by Final Destination creator Jeffrey Reddick with a screenplay by Jeffrey Reddick, Jonathan Doyle & William Halfon. Directed by Timothy Woodward Jr., The Final Wish was produced by Timothy Woodward Jr., Lauren de Normandie, Johnny Cleveland, Jeffrey Reddick, and Thommy Huston. Executive Producers include Matthew Helderman, Luke Taylor, Joe Listhaus, Patrick DePeters, Arthur Wylie and Dale Godboldo.
“We are thrilled to partner with Cinedigm for the U.S. distribution of this highly anticipated horror film in movie theaters,” said Fathom Events CEO Ray Nutt. “Audiences will be on the edge of their seats alongside fellow fear fanatics at their local cinema on January 24.”
“Fathom’s theatrical model has redefined the movie-going experience allowing theatergoers to enjoy a Q&A after the credits with cast and crew to learn more about the film and how it all came together,” says Bill Perrault, SVP Marketing and Brand Management at Cinedigm. “This unique partnership with Fathom allows audiences to experience the screams and scares of The Final Wish on the big screen.”"

Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
