From the classics to unknown gems, every month the Alamo Drafthouse will pick out a favorite from the vault for your enjoyment. The Graveyard Shift isn’t just a simple screening, though — it’s an event. Once a month we’ll bring you games, giveaways and surprises of all shapes and sizes. If you’re a horror fan living in Houston, the third Saturday of the month is reserved for the Graveyard Shift.

This month: HOUSE OF THE DEVIL

Ti West is one of the most interesting horror filmmakers working today. By balancing a healthy respect of classic horror with a brave desire to break new ground, West has quickly established himself at the top of the class when it comes to the genre.

Now, to celebrate the release of West’s new film THE INNKEEPERS, we’re bringing one of his modern classics out from the vault with a special screening of THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL. Based on the Satanic panic of the ‘80s, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL is a tribute to classic slasher and haunted house films of yore, with Jocelin Donahue playing a broke young college student who learns the hard way that not all babysitting jobs are created equal. A tense, stylish thrill ride that will have you gnawing past your nails and chewing your fingers to the bone, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL is a must- see for fans of horror.

And, as a special bonus, if you pre-order a ticket to our weeklong run of THE INNKEEPERS, you’ll get into HOUSE OF THE DEVIL absolutely for free.

"The film may provide an introduction for some audience members to the Hitchcockian definition of suspense: It's the anticipation, not the happening, that's the fun."--Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

"Both an authentically scary turn of the screw and a stunningly meticulous retro homage."--DAILY TELEGRAPH

Now this is how you make a scary movie. The House of the Devil is a delicious throwback to the golden era of Hollywood horror -- one that is unapologetically earnest and overwhelmingly committed to the task at hand."--Simon Miraudo, QUICKFLIX
