Tonight, be sure to set an extra spot at the table for Joe Bob Briggs... or at least the TV or computer screen that will be playing Shudder's The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs: Dinners of Death special. Running from dusk till dawn (beginning at 9:00pm ET) on Thursday, November 22nd, the Thanksgiving special will feature a marathon of "deadly dinner" movies, including Briggs' favorite drive-in movie of all-time. While the lineup has yet to be announced, you can now watch Shudder's trailer for the special that'll have you wishing it was already Thanksgiving.

Check out the trailer and FAQ below, read my interview with Briggs from earlier this year, and visit Shudder for more information on all of their streaming titles.

"Joe Bob Briggs is back, just in time to save you from having to talk politics with your family on Thanksgiving Day. Feast on a selection of “deadly dinner” films hand-picked by the world’s foremost (and possibly only) drive-in movie critic, kicking off with Joe Bob’s all-time favorite drive-in classic, which he’ll be presenting for the first time in more than thirty years of TV horror hosting."
