Tourist Trap Screening This Week at Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse
Although DVD and Blu-ray have unearthed so many long-lost classics, horror fans rarely get the chance to see their favourite films on the big screen. David Schmoeller’s underrated 1979 thriller Tourist Trap is set to receive a rare 35mm screening this week in Austin, Texas, courtesy of the Alamo Drafthouse and Vulcan Video. Produced by Charles Band (of Empire fame) and featuring Tanya Roberts (Charlie’s Angels) and screen legend Chuck Connors, Tourist Trap told of a crazed recluse who abducts tourists and transforms them into mannequins for his once popular resort.
