The Last Drive-In: Jeffrey Combs joins Joe Bob Briggs this week

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Two icons will be crossing paths on this week's episode of the Shudder series The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs, as legendary movie host Joe Bob Briggs will be joined by horror legend Jeffrey Combs! 

Since the movies being shown as the Last Drive-In double feature aren't usually revealed before the show begins, we can't say for sure why Combs is the special guest on this episode, but there are a couple ways to solve this mystery. Joe Bob gave the hint that he'll be showing "a sequel to a horror classic paying homage to a sequel to a horror classic". There's also the process of elimination: the Combs films Re-Animator and Castle Freak have already been shown on The Last Drive-In, but Shudder also has Bride of Re-Animator, which has not been on the show yet…

Clues for this week's #TheLastDriveIn: First up is a sequel to a horror classic paying homage to a sequel to a horror classic. Second is one of those rediscoveries that caused a director to be recognized 30 years later. As usual @kinky_horror will break ties and award prizes. pic.twitter.com/EwU6SqbkC3

Jeffrey, you're scaring me. I knew you had Ozarks roots, but I didn't realize the genes were that strong. I think you better come on #TheLastDriveIn this Friday night lest you start wielding the green needle again and reanimating hillbillies from the 19th century. @jeffreycombs https://t.co/NLmDYzwvkZ
