Guastini with more mysterious guests are to be announced.
In STEPHEN KING’S THINNER, an obese lawyer (Billy Halek, played by Robert John Burke) finds himself growing “Thinner” when a mysterious carney (Michael Constantine) places a hex on him. Now the lawyer must call upon his friends in organized crime (Joe Mantegna) to help persuade the old man to lift the curse. Time is running out for the desperate lawyer as he draws closer to his own death & grows ever thinner by the day. The Event will be preceded by a lobby reception, complete with a meet & greet for ticketed attendees and a Red Carpet hosted by Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble of the Horror Movie Survival Guide podcast.
