Every screening we will have our Scream Queen contest sponsored by Dragon's Nest; the one stop game shop in the heart of downtown Kilgore.
Willing participants will go up on stage and give us their most bone chilling scream (no mics or PA's here. We are going old school with this one).
The Scream Queen for the night will be decided based off crowd applause.
and prizes for 1st place will be handed out before every film.
