Grady Hendrix returns to the Mahoning Drive-In for “Burn, Witch-Baby, Burn!” weekend of satanic/birth horror!

The best-selling author has a hell of a reveal party coming next month.

On Friday-Saturday, September 6-7, Grady Hendrix, author of MY BEST FRIEND’S EXORCISM, HOW TO SELL HAUNTED HOUSE and others and all-around horror showman, is coming back to Lehighton, PA’s Mahoning Drive-In Theater for another frightful weekend. Co-presented by Exhumed Films, “Burn, Witch-Baby, Burn!” is a showcase of fright features focusing on monstrous births and satanic shenanigans, tied to Hendrix’s latest novel WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS. All presented on 35mm film, the movies are:

Friday, September 6:
POSSESSION (1981)
THE BROOD (1979)
IT’S ALIVE (1974)

Saturday, September 7:
SUSPIRIA (1977)
BURN, WITCH, BURN (1962)
DEMON WITCH CHILD (1975)

As usual, the films will be accompanied by trailers and classic drive-in ads, and the Mahoning will offer merch and vendor tables, raffles, live DJs and more. Host Hendrix will meet and greet fans for photo ops and sell and sign his books. Tickets are $20 per person per night, with General/Extended passes $30 per night and special two-day general/extended passes available for $50. Gates open at 6 p.m. each night, with the shows beginning at sundown. For more info and ticket links, head over to the show’s Facebook event page.
