AMC Theatres Offers Fans Of Horror Movies An Early Halloween Treat: The "Saw-fest" Movie Marathon

Recently, AMC Theatres announced details of "Saw-fest," a marathon of the 3 previously-released "Saw" horror movies leading up to the midnight show of the newest installation, "Saw IV," all for the price of a single admission ticket.

Saw-fest will take place Thursday, Oct. 25, in forty two participating AMC theatres in twenty five U.S. markets. The marathon will begin at six p.m. with short intermissions between each film, culminating in the 12:01 a.m. release of "Saw IV."

Tickets are available at all participating AMC theatres and at AMCTheatres.com.

"The "Saw" series is quickly becoming a Halloween tradition, and we've seen few horror films release on the same date because of its recent success," said Zach Baze, vice president, marketing, at AMC Theatres. "Saw-fest is a rare opportunity for fans to see this exciting film series in succession, building to the much anticipated release of "Saw IV."

The "Saw" film series is a popular horror film franchise created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell, beginning in 2004 and continuing to the present.

The series' main plot revolves around the Jigsaw Killer, a vigilante who kidnaps victims and places them in deadly traps to test them and see if they are deserving of the life they have abused.

The victims, almost always chosen because they have taken their lives for granted, are usually linked to each other in one way or another. The films tend to conclude with a twisted ending that wraps things up, but also leaves more questions to be answered in the following film.

Guests who attend Saw-fest are free to come and go throughout the duration of the series, but will need to keep and produce their ticket stub to ensure re-admission into the Saw-fest auditorium.
