We’re just over 2 weeks away from THE MOVIE CRYPT Podcast’s 9th annual YORKIETHON to benefit our friends at Save A Yorkie Rescue! While most of the line-up for every YORKIETHON is meant to be a surprise, the annual LIVE script reading has always been considered the centerpiece event of each charity marathon and announced beforehand.

Each year, hosts Adam Green and Joe Lynch have been fortunate enough to get the blessing of various screenwriters they love to produce a LIVE reading of a screenplay that is either a super early (and vastly different) draft of a movie we all love, or a screenplay for a film that sadly never got made but that we all really wish we could have seen. From “Gizmo” turning into a butterfly… to the female Goonies being “stimulated” by Data’s electric shocks in the well… to “Freddy” and “Jason” facing off in a hockey rink or “Marty McFly” and “Doc Brown” time traveling in a refrigerator… every YORKIETHON live script reading has been an incredible experience for our audience.

This year is truly no exception as we will be doing a live reading of Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton’s never-produced screenplay for HALLOWEEN RETURNS! Fellow director Dave Parker is once again putting the whole reading together with a terrific cast of actors to perform the script out loud for your enjoyment. Best of all, Marcus and Patrick will be joining us LIVE right after the reading to discuss their experience almost bringing Michael Myers back to the big screen back in 2015.

In the current schedule the live reading is set for 4pm PST on Saturday 7/26 but stay tuned over this final 2 week stretch leading up to the event as the exact time could still change.
