For episode four, we're once again coming together for a live tweet event for episode three, "SYZYGY". Please take note of the new weekly hashtag, #OldNight.

You probably know the drill by now, but if you don't, read on. When a streaming service drops episodes of a series, it's hard for fans to know when to tweet; not everyone watches the whole season at the same time. Sometimes selected times are scheduled. SciFi Vision has decided to host its own fan events for the series. It would be great if you could join, but even if you can't, reposting would be very helpful to help spread the word. Not as many people knew about the first one, but since then, people have responded, and we have already received quite a few RSVPs. The event for the fourth episode will take place Monday, 4/15 at 9pm ET/5pm PT. A Twitter RSVP would be appreciated!


Read on for the full instructions as well as what a live tweet is if you have never participated in one before.

SHUDDER ACQUIRES INTERNATIONAL HIT ZOMBIE COMEDY ​ONE CUT OF THE DEAD

APRIL 8, 2019 — The little, $27,000 indie zombie comedy that became a box office smash in Japan and around the world is finally coming to North America when One Cut of the Dead debuts on Shudder later this year. AMC Networks’ streaming service for horror, thrillers and the supernatural picked up all rights in the U.S. and Canada to the international hit, which currently holds a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has grossed a staggering $28 million in Japan and $30 million worldwide. Shudder also acquired all rights in Australia and New Zealand, where the service is set to launch later this year.

Shinichiro Ueda’s One Cut of the Dead starts with a film crew shooting a zombie movie who stumble into an actual zombie outbreak—all shot in a single, 37-minute take. From there, the story widens its focus, transforming into a comedic love letter to the spirit of indie filmmaking that conjures up unstoppable ingenuity in the face of overwhelming odds. One Cut of the Dead’s wild, crowd-pleasing final 30 minutes reframes everything you thought you saw in an outrageous new light. The film’s cast, mostly non-professionals, is led by Harumi Shuhama, Kazuaki Nagaya, Mao and Takayuki Hamatsu.
