Time is running out for the desperate lawyer as he draws closer to his death & grows ever thinner by the day.
The Event will be preceded by a lobby reception, complete with a meet & greet for ticketed attendees and a Red Carpet hosted by Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble of the Horror Movie Survival Guide podcast.
