Vroom, vroom! This month marks the 40th anniversary of John Carpenter‘s Christine! To celebrate, The Losers’ Club: A Stephen King Podcast and the Music Box of Horrors are hosting a special holiday screening of the King classic at Chicago’s historic Music Box Theatre. After all, what are the holidays without a little rock ‘n’ roll and a killer car?
The one-night only event takes place on Tuesday, December 19th at 8:00 p.m. at Chicago’s historic Music Box Theatre. In addition to the screening, the night will also include a live recording of the Losers’ Club featuring nearly all of the show’s cast members. Yes, this will be the largest gathering of the Losers to date with most of the ka-tet flying in!
That includes Randall Colburn, Jenn Adams, Justin Gerber, Dan Caffrey, Michael Roffman, Mel Kassel, Dan Pfleegor, McKenzie Gerber, Rachel Reeves, Julia Marchese, and Sammie Kuykendall. In fact, this also means all of the Halloweenies will be present, too. Together, we’ll be having holiday drinks, selling new merch, and raffling off some prizes.
Tickets are available here. Be sure to arrive at the theater early to hang with the Losers and gain entry to their live recording at 8:30 p.m. in Theater 2. Seating is very limited and you must have a ticket to Christine to attend. Rest assured, it’ll be over prior to the screening, which they’ll present and do some trivia with killer prizes ahead of time.
About The Losers’ Club

Founded in 2017, The Losers’ Club® is an award-winning weekly series that chronologically digs through the work of Stephen King with humor, irreverence, and a critical eye. Each episode, the Losers gather together to read between the iconic pages and share the latest in King’s Dominion, whether it’s the author’s oft-controversial tweets, the boldest Hollywood headlines, or his endless forthcoming projects. The series also regularly features special guests. In the past, the Losers have spoken to Mike Flanagan, Thomas Jane, Tananarive Due, Chapo Trap House, Owen Teague, Mick Garris, Mary Lambert, Jerry O’Connell, Wil Wheaton, Joe Bob Briggs, and even King himself. Suitable for readers both Constant and casual. King says check us out.
About the Music Box Theatre
Turn onto Southport Avenue and it’s hard to resist the neon beacon that lures cinephiles from across Chicagoland with eight flickering letters—Music Box. It’s a promise of more than just entertainment, but a total experience. It’s a community of strangers coming together over the anticipation of that familiar red velvet curtain rising toward the twinkling, star-covered ceiling. It’s a symbol of Chicago’s go-to venue for independent, foreign, cult, and classic films.
Each of our theatre’s 700 seats has a story to tell. The stories are more colorful than the decades of films projected here; of first dates that took place under the starry sky; of family traditions revolving around the annual White Christmas singalong; of the ghost some say haunts the theatre to this day. Join us, and make a few memories of your own. It’s certain to be an experience as unforgettable as the film itself.
