The Sundowner Cineplex

By: Freddie Parks Jr

Narrated by: Richard Benedict

Albert wants one more night to hang out with his friend Wayne. Life had been getting in the way and the two were drifting apart. So, when Party Crashers 3 (their favorite horror genre film series) was set to premier at their favorite theater, Albert couldn't resist buying tickets. Wayne however is reluctant to go. He has a job, college and a girlfriend who doesn't care for B-horror flicks. Nevertheless, the three embark on a night of entertainment at the Sundowner Cineplex.

Then the unimaginable happens.

Like something from one of the horror movies they loved so much the Emergency Broadcasting Network issues a shelter in place order for the entire country. Albert, Wayne and Wayne's girlfriend Regina find themselves forced to try and survive alongside strangers with limited supplies and rising tensions. To top it off, a sinister figure looms in the shadows, an insurrection to take control of the recourses has begun, and a man named Ray on the run from the law, all add to the impossible circumstances.

Will they survive until rescue can arrive? Or will the curtain fall on Albert and his friend?

Story

Listening to Cineplex on audio is a whole different level of terrifying.

The quiet moments? Deafening.
The footsteps? Too close.
The empty theater ambiance? Pure nightmare fuel.

This story was MADE for headphones.

You can practically hear:
• the projector clicking
• popcorn crunching in an empty room
• doors creaking open somewhere behind you

It feels like you’re locked inside the theater with the characters.

Perfect for late-night listening…
