Joe Bob Briggs is back at “The Last Drive-In,” with Shudder debuting the first trailer for its variety show’s seventh season ahead of its March 7 premiere.
Along with new footage and a promise of many double-features, the show also announced that the first episode would guest feature Spencer Charnas, frontman of the horror-slanted heavy metal band Ice Nine Kills. The program, hosted by Joe Bob Briggs and Darcy the Mail Girl, also teased its season premiere programming, promising a 100th birthday celebration for “the first great American horror film.” This seventh season will cover more than 30 genre titles.
Charnas had previously teased his visit to the show to fans, posting on his own Instagram earlier this year, saying he is “Pre Lon’d up” — perhaps a reference to silent film star Lon Chaney ahead of the episode’s centennial celebration.
“The Last Drive-In With Joe Bob Briggs” returns on March 7 at 9 pm ET, playing on Shudder TV and AMC+ TV feeds. A new episode will then release on the first Friday of each month, with prior tapings available on demand on Shudder and AMC+ after they premiere.

Produced by Not The Funeral Home’s Matt Manjourides and Justin Martell, “The Last Drive-In” first debuted in July 2018, reviving a variety show tradition of horror criticism and film curation that began with Briggs’ ’90s TNT series “MonsterVision.” Titles showcased on the most recent season last year include “Donnie Darko,” “The Toxic Avenger,” “Carnival of Souls” and “Death Spa.” Austin Jennings directs all episodes of Season 7.
