In a twisted celebration of the upcoming Screen Gems film Until Dawn, diehard fans in eight U.S. cities will face off in the ultimate horror endurance challenge: stay awake until dawn, through an all-night marathon of the film on repeat…or be disqualified from the competition. During the movie, there is no dozing off, no bathroom breaks, no phones (*during* the movie).
Attendees will only be allowed to have bathroom breaks during certain preannounced intermissions. If participants leave theater for any reason other than an emergency, contestants will be automatically disqualified. Absolutely no sleeping will be allowed, if found sleeping for any length of time contestants will be automatically disqualified.
The “Survive Until Dawn” competition kicks off Tuesday, April 22, at 7 p.m. local time and runs into the early hours of Wednesday, April 23. Contestants who make it through the night without tapping out will battle until one remains—the last horror junkie standing scores a prize and eternal bragging rights (and gets a chance to win $5,000).
