Dudley Castle After Dark: American Werewolf In Dudley

Beware the moon...

Please note: this event is now sold out, and no tickets will be available on the door.

Beware the moon...

The animal inhabitants of Dudley Zoo take shelter, as darkness falls and faint howls can be heard in the distance. This August, Flatpack descends on Dudley Castle under the light of an (almost) full moon, transforming it once again into an open-air cinema for John Landis’ cult horror-comedy An American Werewolf in London. There will be hot food and a licensed bar; just bring along a blanket and/or a chair and we’ve got the rest covered.

For a sense of what to expect, have a look at what went down at our last Dudley Castle After Dark event.

Some final words of advice - steer clear of the moors, stick to the roads, and most importantly, beware the moon! And if you don't want to heed our warning, take it from John Landis himself:

8pm: Doors open 9pm: Warmup films 9:30pm: Our feature presentation

Please note: outdoor events go ahead come rain or shine. Tickets are non-refundable.
