As I write this, myself and half of Team Mondo are in Los Angeles preparing for this weekend’s first ever Mystery Movies and half of the team are back in Austin, TX putting the finishing touches on ticketing for Mondo Mystery Movie IX. I am very happy to announce that we will finally be putting tickets up for sale Monday at 2pm CST for the next and LAST Mondo Mystery Movie in Austin, TX this year.
Without exaggeration, this will be the BIGGEST MMM ever… so big in fact, that for the first time ever, we are breaking out of the theater setting and taking it out into the real world. The location will be a total secret until closer to the event, but keep a watchful eye on this blog and Twitter and we will let you know all of the details.
As always, we cannot divulge the name of the movie, but let me say that this is a show we have wanted to do for a very long time and until now, it was impossible to make it happen. The poster is all done and approved by the studio and you will definitely be putting it in a frame as a lot of you have been asking why we’ve never done a poster for this particular classic. The amount of work that has gone into this show is staggering and not only is it definitely one of the biggest Mondo has ever put on, it ranks up with one of the largest and epic shows that the Alamo has ever done, too.
Again, tickets will go on sale Monday, October 10th at 2pm. I will tweet out a link beforehand so you know where to go. There will be two types of tickets. Regulars will be $75 a piece and we will also be offering variant tickets where you will receive both posters. They will run you $200. If you have been wanting to come to a Mystery Movie in the past, this is your last chance as it will be the final Mystery Movie screening in Austin for 2011. We’re doing this on Halloween weekend and pulling out all of the stops and I promise that you will never forget what happens.

I’m thinking of trying to buy tickets for myself and my girlfriend.
Will this be limited to one ticket per person?
For those new to a MMM, how does one purchase a couple of tickets? Can you get a Regular and a Variant? Do you have to pair them up? I don’t think the wife and I are in need two sets.
You can definitely buy more than one ticket. The limit will be more than 1 per person.
Fart.
for the love of fuck please don’t let the drafthouse site handle this again
You can buy single tickets. They do not come in pairs.
What happens if I buy the tickets and can’t make it to the show, for some reason. Am I able to send them to a friend in TX?
Will there be more seats available than usual?
E.T.?
Hey, might there be a non poster priced ticket, just to attend the event?
Nope. All tickets will include a poster.
I’d guess HALLOWEEN, but maybe too obvious?
Putting Mondo on the map even more so:

As if scoring prints/tickets couldn’t get any harder!
Justin,
Out of curiosity, if we were one of the few that were able to purchase tickets in advance during Fantastic Fest, is there a chance to upgrade those tickets to the Variant ticket? At the time, i don’t believe there was a choice between the 2?
thanks,
gary
My guess: KING KONG.
King Kong was done back in April 2008 for the Sci-Fi Series by Burlesque of North America.
Night of the Living Dead?
The Shining or the Exorcist are my top guesses.
NOTLD and the Shining have already been covered by Mondo
Considering it’s near halloween will it be horror themed?
Nightmare Before Christmas. The poster would be incredible.
Rumor is Stout Back to the Future variant with a release of a regular soon after.
Dude, I’d KILL to go if it was Nightmare Before Christmas. That’s one of my top 3 movies of all time. Please make it happen, Justin.
What time is the screening? Got plans that night and will need to decide

My guess…The Crow!
So I’ve never been to one of these before – and we’re coming from out of town. When do you get the poster.. before or after the movie. And should I bring a poster tube to protect the poster? Or do you get that with the poster.
Brian, generally, the prints are after the movie. That way you don’t have to hold it throughout. Also, you should bring a tube.
Is the location going to be that castle thing outside Austin? I know they’ve had private parties and such held there. It would be an interesting place to hold a Halloween-themed screening.
